@Kaiser-Machead: For the Japanese, though, that's just part of their work code. Only they can pull something like that off.
Then again, they could've required all Tokyo subway workers - male or female - to wear item number 4 if it had existed in 1995. #bestandworstinventionsof2009
@Kaiser-Machead: Also, wouldn't it be a little creepy to ride the rail surrounded by fake looking smiles, knowing they're all just thin veneers over a train wreck of anger and frustration? #bestandworstinventionsof2009
@Kyonko: I suppose it isn't much different from the venomous saccharine mannequins that work at TGI Friday's, forced to be unrealistically chipper, which I may have to explain to management one day gives me awful indigestion. #bestandworstinventionsof2009
@Gann: I can only assume it's because upper management don't have to do this kind of shit (anymore) and don't stop to think that maybe people respond better to quality professional service and courtesy than they do to big stupid grins. #bestandworstinventionsof2009

@tande04: Eh... a list by Time Magazine journalists? Probably just a bunch of pissed off English majors who feel like their world is being raped by popular culture. #bestandworstinventionsof2009
The time must have messed up Giz as well, because I cant even log in in IE, I had to jump to my laptop and FF to comment.
ps-I screwed up the time on my alarm clock (which wasnt set to go off because its Sunday) and moved the time ahead an hour and not back. I will spend the whole day confused in a time warp. #daylightsavingtime
@Curves: I believe the remedy is a jump to the RIGHT, followed by a step to the LEFT, then taking your hands OFF your hips, opening your knees WIDE, keeping your hips STILL, and then regaining sanity.
I can't be the only one who has small children... for us, the time change meant getting up an hour earlier on the clock. Young kids just don't seem to appreciate the extra hour like I would. #daylightsavingtime
@RedRaider: The farmers complain that the cows dont like it either. AND you have to find a way to keep them up an hour later tonight. They will be tired and cranky. #daylightsavingtime
Don't forget that it's different all over the world (hence why there are more than just 24 different 'settings' for time zones in Windows and Mac). Those of us in Central Asia have been switched for a week. #daylightsavingtime
