I'm grew up in Indiana. Until 2006 - Indiana did not observe daylight savings time. Our time always stayed the same.
Every year, during the summer and at Christmas, we'd visit my grandparents in South Carolina. On some visits, I had to reset my watch, on others I didn't. I always assumed that I remembered incorrectly from the previous visit.
It wasn't until I was in COLLEGE in New Orleans that I discovered the truth about DST. It was my freshman year in the dorm in October 1995. Time to fall back.
Everyone in the dorm kept saying, "Change your clocks." I was like "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??" Then they explained DST, and I didn't believe them. I actually had to ask the dorm mother! I really thought they were lying (you can't just CHANGE THE TIME like that!)
The funny thing is, they thought I was lying, too. They made me call my mother. She confirmed Indiana did not do DST.
To this day, I'm 35, I still don't know exactly when you change over (which has caused me problems - sometimes I have to work on Sundays and I have been both early and LATE as a result.) I do know the months, but that's it. No idea of the week.
And let me tell you, it's expected that you DO know. Most people wouldn't notice, but there's not much fanfare about DST at all!!! I guess they figure everyone's done it all their lives - WRONG. When I do actually change my clock on the right date, it's usually because I find out "by accident" (i.e. in casual conversation with someone.)
On a good note, I haven't been that affected by the extension of DST. You don't have to break a habit you never had. And now that the dates have changed, a lot more advertising is done.
