Something that inexplicably pisses me off

It makes me SO mad that 12:00 p.m. is noon and 12:00 a.m. is midnight. In whose fucking mind does that make any sense. 1:00 through 11:00 are with one suffix, be it a.m. or p.m., but then when 12:00 rolls around, it becomes the opposite. Wouldn't it be clearer if at 1:00 it switched over? Honestly. I realize that this stems from the fact that at some point when anyone besides the military used a 24 hour system that started with 0:00, this did in fact make sense. But come on, time. Get with the program. I should not have to use my brain when setting my alarm to try to take a nap til just after noon. What if I picked the wrong time? What if I'm going to wake up at 4 because my alarm is ready to go off slightly after midnight. There is not a single time that I do not have to think twice about this.

Fuck you 12:00. You suck
