30 Daylight Saving Time Memes Everyone Can Relate To
With Daylight Saving Time just around the corner, we've got all the memes for your wide range of feels. We hope you're ready to spring forward.
It's my most dreaded time of the year again, the time we arbitrarily set our clocks forward until the calendars decide it's time to change it all back sometime in the fall.
I hardly want to even get into how much money America loses by engaging in this ridiculously outdated practice, which was supposedly invented to save energy — but whatever. The only desire I've really got is to move out to Arizona or Hawaii, states that don't turn back their clocks, and come back home only once we have normal nighttime hours again.

Luckily for me, I'm very much not alone in this sentiment (thanks, internet!). Whether you're on my side, or inexplicably can't wait to shorten your hours of daylight, scroll along for 30 Daylight Saving Time (it's "saving" not "savings") memes that are terribly relatable.
1. Whoops.
This would have been literally me, who learned just last year that it's "saving" not "savings," because we aren't talking about your bank account. But the virtuous thing would have been simply not to say anything. Alas, I am not noble enough to keep my mouth shut.

3. Some of you DO push it too far, though.
Listen, I have all the compassion in the world for (IMHO) sufferers of this unethical practice who are left with seasonal depression and who knows what other hardships as a result of Daylight Saving Time. But don't be a jerk about it, either.
