Default Waiting in Line...

Ok...so I was in downtown Seattle, near Nike Town or whatever, and there was a line...I spotted a friend there, I asked what was going on...

It turns out that some special shoe will be for sale this Saturday, at 12:01 AM. It's some limited shoe that's only have 80 pairs per store...and it'll cost $180.

Ok...am I the only one who thinks $180 for a pair of shoes is a tad too much? You know how many RPGs and Animes I can buy with that kinda cash?! I can get airfare, round trip tickets to somewhere!

And there was about 20 people in line! *looks at calendar* Ok...so you're going to wait in line for about 2-3 days for a pair of shoes?!

BUT...I remembered...

yes....that happened when PS2 came out...how much was it back then? $499? $399? That was still a lot...

then there's those after Christmas Day sales....

My god...humans...

So...what do you think of this? Had you waited in line for a long period of time for something?

The only time I can think of was 2 hours waiting in line to register for Anime Expo 2003...^^

I hate lines, and avoid them whenever possible.

I always wait in huge lines for roller coasters. Like this spring I'm gonna be waiting in line on the first day the world's next tallest and fastest record breaker opens......

So basically I'll be lucky if it's only a 2 hour wait. This thing I'm talking about is only like a 20 second ride too.
