People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

Here's another one that is probably unreasonable: people who think they're being smart by scheduling something to be at "3:00 EST". The EST stands for Eastern Standard Time, as opposed to Eastern Daylight Saving Time (EDT). If you schedule something for 3:00 EST in June, I have to do the whole "spring forward / fall back" thing and figure out if you're talking about 2:00 EDT or 4:00 EDT. (Spoiler alert: 3:00 EST = 4:00 EDT). Then I need to try to guess if you're a doofus and didn't know that we're in daylight saving time now, or not. Then I need to figure out if I'm zurping this way out of proportion. Then after a couple minutes of wondering if I need to make a post on Buckeyeplanet about it, I usually just forget it and write it down as me being a big nerd and say it's for 3:00 EDT.
