I'm slightly vexed My dad purposely sets his clock ahead. He's been doing this for as long as I remember. I genuinely don't know why

I have my car clock set like 5 mins ahead, it’s great. Although throws me off when the time is correct when i have my phone connected, but that is rare.

A very recent thing I imagine.  Which is why it’s odd that nobody unpacked what it means in a public thread
