I've never made that mistake and I've never personally witnessed anyone else slip either, but surely someone somewhere has. Especially in the years before smartphones & atomic clocks existed, when we had to manually set all our clocks.

I know that's why they always make it happen on a Saturday night Sunday morning so for most people it won't affect their work or school schedule the next morning

but Sunday mornings aren't always schedule-free for everyone. Plenty of people go to work/church/obligations on Sunday mornings,

so surely there's a non-zero chance that some clock mistakes have happened on daylight savings time Sunday mornings.

Do YOU know anyone who's made that mistake?
