Thanks to Colleen for point­ing out this gem from the Fort Wayne a.m. daily, about peo­ple who STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME:

When Andi Cole looked at the clock Sun­day morn­ing and saw 6:15 a.m., she was sur­prised at how rested she was.

Cole thought she still had an hour and 45 min­utes before she had to be at her job as a dog groomer at Comb & Col­lar on Till Road. But her sur­prise and con­tent­ment were short-lived. Cole’s phone soon rang: It was her boss.

Cole’s boss, who lives above the groom­ing shop, informed her that a cus­tomer was wait­ing for her and that she was already 15 min­utes late. Turns out, instead of set­ting her clocks one hour ahead Sat­ur­day night in prepa­ra­tion of the begin­ning of daylight-saving time Sun­day, Cole set them one hour behind. It was 8:15 a.m., not 6:15 a.m.

No, wait, it gets better!

Still not con­vinced, Cole called a hot­line that gives callers the cur­rent time and tem­per­a­ture, but it was busy. She then got out of bed and looked at her cell phone, which had auto­mat­i­cally set the new time.

“I thought my cus­tomer had set it wrong,�? Cole said. “No, my cus­tomer was right. I was wrong.�?

I love those details. Such a Hoosier reac­tion: OK, so I’ll go along with this crazy idea, but when I do it wrong, I’ll ask for a sec­ond opinion.

On the other hand, it’s nice to know you can get your dog groomed at 8 a.m. on a Sun­day in Fort Wayne.

UPDATE: Not DST-related, but in more break­ing “Why did the Hoosier cross the road” news, this:

An unsus­pect­ing woman pur­chased a “flat-screen tele­vi­sion set” at a bar­gain price, the pack­age even bubble-wrapped and com­plete with cord and con­troller. But when the street con­sumer returned home that Feb­ru­ary day with her “steal” of a prod­uct, she was likely steamed.

“It was actu­ally an oven door inside the pack­age,” explained South Bend Detec­tive Sgt. Jim Walsh.

Peo­ple, please!
