What is the impact of crossing the international dateline east to west?

When you cross the International Dateline while traveling from east to west,
then at some convenient time before you reach your destintion, you must
crank your calendar wristwatch forward 24 hours, and tear an extra daily page
off of your desk calendar. If you forget to do this, then once you land, everyone
you meet there will disagree with you on the date. They'll all say that your clock
and calendar are way slow, that you are stuck in yesterday, and that it's actually
a day later than you think it is. This could be especially awkward if you think it's
Saturday and everybody around you is heading for Church.
