    Well, that's the best way I could word it. For celebrations such as christmas, bdays, etc, do you wish people "happy/merry something" when the day hits in their timezone or yours?

    For me, I don't until the day hits for them. Too bad others can't apply that logic - aka ppl 2 hours ahead. XD;
     
    Apparently I live in the past (April 28th) and you're almost the future day (April 29th), Nica D:<

    The REAL question here is where does the future end, and the past begin, timezone-wise?

    I respect my timezone for events though :]
     
    I try too. If I can remember WHAT their timezone is, or how long it's actually ahead, or behind mine.!
     
    Yes, I try to wish birthdays and events when the day hits their timezone, otherwise it's kind of bothersome. So, yeah.
     
    Australians are always inb4 everyone for the Christmas thread. Maybe I'll move to New Zealand and make it an hour earlier than them.
    I don't wish people happy anything but if I did then yes I would respect time zone differences onwards of four hours.

    with holidays, i dont really have to, but my hivelover and i work our schedules around each other seeing as we're six hours apart. or, he works around mine rather >w>
     
    I tend to completely ignore that they exist. I don't mean too though, they just slip my mind. :(
     
    I usually wait until it's their birthday or something in their timezone before wishing them a Happy Birthday. However, sometimes I get excited (I'm on AIM or something), and I accidentally say 'HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY' when it hits in my Timezone. xD;
     
    Yes I do but sometimes its hard remembering who is ahead of you in time and who is behind. I got two of my friends numbers from this forum and both live in California which is like 6 or 7 hours behind my time so I sometimes text them when they are sleep or at school.
     
    Depends. If a birthday thread's already been posted, I'll post in it, even if it's not their birthday in my timezone. If I'm wishing them a happy birthday/happy holidays/whatever in another form, I typically wait until it's after midnight my time.

    However, 9 times out of 10 I don't wish happy birthday/holidays/whatever until whatever time I feel like the day of. If it's a little late for them, I don't really feel bad. Does that make me a bad person?
     
    Well... I generally do it by my own timezone... because.. it is easier. I could do it to their timezone.. but I'm not really thinking about it that way.
     
    In this sense, no. I'll wish people Happy New Year or Merry Christmas when it's most convenient for me to do so. I don't feel bad at all and I don't see why I should. It's not like I control which places other people live in. ;_;
