Oh yes there is some tricky and deceptive language on those shampoo bottles! I have one shampoo that is labeled as, “For Blonde Hair.” I notice the infinite loop language is not on the label of that one. Perhaps that is the only thing that sets that shampoo apart from shampoos for all hair colors?

@ Christie, did you hear about the blonde who got stuck in an infinite loop with her shampoo? Apparently the bottle said “lather, rinse, repeat.”

She’d have to keep getting up every time it turned 2 am to set the clock back, to adhere to the instructions. Or maybe she was a programmer and added a flag in there so she’d only go through the loop once.

@ Klaus, my cell phone was actually the last one to be updated – it didn’t change on its own right away and I was like, um, hello?

@ Christie, either TMobile is a bit too eager to fall back, or your son is very clever! I don’t know that person’s hair color – it’s a friend of a friend.

My teenage son used this excuse to come home an hour late on Saturday night. Apparently his TMobile phone automatically set its own time back an hour around 10 pm. It broke all the rules.

Otherwise, that example of yours would make a great blonde joke!

Good point, indeed.

I solved it by having my alarm being radio controlled so it updates automatically and the computer/phone clocks does it automatically too – so the only thing I noticed was 1 more hour of sleep.

Oh, we actually changed DST over a week ago.
