Lining up overnight

[mfldmike]

Wow! Too many people in line already. What time did you go?

Got here about 5am. I count maybe 60-ish people

I thought lining up was so 2010. With online ordering and stuff.

Some people do it for the experience.

I was too freaking excited and I’ve been up since like 5:30. I decided to go get a biometric screening (it’s required for a healthcare discount at work) dumb idea I’m so excited my BP was high.

Now I’m sitting at the Starbucks next to the  store. My check in time is for 830 but I’m gonna just head over now.

Could be worse - I laugh at the people who mock us as ‘sheep’ for lining up but turn around and boast if someone lines up for their brand phones.

I got my phone!!! I was the 4th person allowed in from the reservation line. They would adjust your spot depending on your pick up time. I’m so excited I could explode!!!!

The guy who checked me out said he thinks everyone lined up will get a phone but he said don’t quote me on that.

Silver 256 I still keep a lot of music on my phone. I’m not ready to completely live in the cloud.

I don’t blame you. I like having as much stored locally as I can.

I waited for the iPad air which is the last time I wait for something delivery is the best and cheapest way.

When I waited in the line overnight 2 years ago I would just go over to the WaWa it was like a 5 minute drive and then eventually the Starbucks next door opened and they let people use theirs.

I didn’t wait in line this year, but for the iPhone 5 at the local Apple store I was first in line. I was filmed for a documentary and was interviewed on local news. It was so much fun.

I used to wait in lines over night for Springsteen tickets and such back in the day. . But I will never do it for a phone. I was 15 then.

I am 61 and my days of waiting in lines are over. I just order it off the T Mobile or Apple website and wait to the UPS or FEDX guy to show up.

I’m getting close to 35 and didn’t even wanna stand in line at 25 years of age, lol. I really don’t like being around strangers.
