People who live in states with two different time zones: Do you ever wake up thinking you’re late for an appointment, but end up being three hours early?

    I live on a timezone border and often have something taking me into the previous timezone. It’s actually nice since those are usually early in the morning events (running races) so I get an extra hour of sleeping in and we’re done before it’s late so I still get home at a reasonable hour.

    The first race after I moved here though, I didn’t realize the location was in the other time zone since it was 2 hours away but mostly south of me, not very far west, so I got there 2 hours early.

    Now I don’t really get screwups, and the one location that has regular races where clocks sometimes toggle one way or the other depending on GPS finickiness explicitly says “blah blah start Eastern time”.

    Time zone increments are 1 hour. If a state has two different time zones, the difference would be 1 hour. The time zone changes between east & west coasts is 3 hours.

    yep, and it’s annoying. I don’t care which one they pick, but they should pick one
