I hope these types of people do not breed. I weep for a portion of humanity.

Waiting such a long time in line for a product you can get, a little while later, without having to wait in line is just stupid... and anyone who does is also stupid.

Far too many people are far too hooked on instant-gratification.

went to the Union Square store in San Francisco on Sat morning and I saw that it was pretty crowded, but the line looked about as bad as when I got my 3GS which took 20-30 minutes. I played around in the store a bit, and I honestly think since the launch of the 4, they've been having a LOT more personnel handle this.

I'm pretty sure I could've walked out with the phone in less than half an hour.

I dont get the waiting in line for anything mentality. id rather just wait a week or so and get the phone or whatever im buying by just walking into the store or from amazon.

the "i have to have it first" mentality is retarded.
