IST: "Indian Standard Time"
When a family member invites us over for 7:30, they mean 8:00. If you actually arrive at 7:30, they're still getting ready themselves.
- gopi 16y agoEven Indians in US adhere to the IST...Most indian parties start atleast an hour after the scheduled time!
- lallysingh 16y agoOh I should've mentioned that I'm in the states. I believe that it's a full hour in India.
- Dylanlacey 16y agoThere are even sub-sub-culture examples. Rovers (http://www.rovers.com.au/ http://www.rovers.com.au/) for instance have RAT: Rover Adjusted Time, which is approximately "the next x.30 to occur after the start time" and which is compensated for by the "car park meeting" that occurs after the event is over. It wouldn't be notable except for HOW often they both occur in a pair.
- maw 16y agoIST sounds friggin awesome, at least compared to MST (Mexican Standard Time). We've had guests invited for 8:00 arrive at 10:30.
