Do you have an interesting memory related to 'spring-ahead'?

One year, when I was very young, I was staying with my Aunt Betty and Uncle Roy. I was so proud of myself for getting ready for church while everyone was sleeping. I went out to watch the birds while I waited for the sleepyheads to join me.
When my Aunt came out (still in her robe and slippers) she kindly told me Uncle Roy had set the clocks ahead before going to bed the night before.

whoops






How has setting your clock forward that one Sunday each Spring worked out for you?
