Would you wait in line 8 days for the new iPhone?

By

I have a big problem waiting.  At a restaurant if I am told there is a thirty minute wait I am going to find another place to eat. 

There is a guy from east Dallas who is getting a lot of publicity as he started his wait to get the new iPhone.

He began his wait on Wednesday which will equate to an eight day wait before the phone actually goes on sell.  I wonder if this individual works or lives off a trust. 

Who has time to wait eight day to buy a cell phone?

Richard - 30 minutes of waiting at a restaurant is typically my limit.  I would NEVER wait that long for a phone of any kind.  I wouldn't wait overnight for one, either.

I hear you! I too will not wait 30 minutes for a restaurant much less EIGHT DAYS! I am trying to think right now if there is ANYTHING I would even consider waiting 8 days in line for........I can't think of one!

Hi Richard... Someone who has that long to wait for a new cell phone probably doesn't really need it, but can probably afford it.  I won't wait 30 mins. for a restaurant either... there are so many other options.

Hello Richard - I agree.  Who are these folks that have nothing better to do than sit in line waiting for a phone.

I can't see waiting 8 days in line for a phone.  Why is it that important?  I waited 4 hours in line to watch Return of the Jedi.  It was fun; I was with my friends, and I was a lot younger than I am now.
