Mountain Standard Time.
Arizona does not change to daylight savings time. Half of the year we are on the same time as the rest of the mountain time zone and half of the year we are on the same time as the west coast of the USA. It makes life simple for us by not changing, but the rest of the country gets really confused.
haha, no kidding we get confused. I was flying home to the west coast the other day from Minnesota and had a stopover in Phoenix. I checked the time of my connection then my watch and freaked! I thought that I had missed the flight. What I didn't account for was that Arizona had not gone to Daylight Savings so all was well.
But, DUH!!!
LOL! Last time I flew back to Phoenix, the stewardess announced the Phoenix local time and they guy sitting in the next aisle said to me, no that isn't right. I assured him that was in fact that was the correct time and explain how Arizona doesn't go into daylight savings time. He said, "Well that is just <effing> stupid! You expect me to believe that <bullshyte>?" and he storms off. As I got off the plane he is having an animated conversation with the gate people about what time it is.
A security officer stops me, as I am leaving the gate, and headed to the baggage. I also noticed two more of them, headed to the gate personnel. He asked me, "Why is that guy angry?" I said he probably hasn't had sex in a week or so, but I am just guessing. Do you know who he is? I don't have a clue. What did you talk about on the plane? Nothing. He was in the middle seats. and I was in aisle section seat. When the plane landed what did you say to him? I told him the correct time was 3:40 p.m and Arizona doesn't have daylight savings time. Why did you do that? He asked me. Why is he angry at you and calling you a liar? Like I said he probably hasn't had sex in a week or so, but I am just guessing. Sir, we take security seriously. I do too, but you are making this difficult. I hear another voice behind me laughing, that scared the bejeepers out of me and said, Roberts, we have taken enough of the gentleman's time. Yes Lieutenant. Thank-you sir, have a nice day.
I go off shaking my head, but never did hear another word about it. Sometime thing wasn't right there. I hope the guy will be okay.
