That's right. I'll admit it; I stood in line for 7 hours to get the new iPhone yesterday. The worst part is that I wasn't planning on getting the phone.
Like I wrote yesterday, my old phone is gone. I left my apartment yesterday and got to the mall a little after 1 p.m., thinking that since it was a weekday, the line wouldn't be so bad. I was wrong. I got in line and waited.
TWO HOURS LATER, I moved about halfway through the line. I started thinking, "Hey, I"ll be gone in no time." Wrong. People started cutting in line...nothing was done about it. Then it seemed that the line was stuck. There was a kid in front of me that was waiting in line to get his iPhone. I saved his spot in line and he went to "investigate" the reason for the long wait. That's when we discovered that people were going in and taking their time looking at other products. This made me very annoyed.
It was probably because I just needed A phone. Not a specific kind of phone. I wasn't excited about the new phone. I just needed to replace my old one that was being used by a schmuck.
The thing was...I had already invested two hours in this line...it seemed stupid to leave it and I really NEEDED a phone.
CUT TO 5 HOURS LATER....my feet hurt and I'm next in line. I couldn't even sit down at the mall because it was against mall policies (security guards had gotten after several people that attempted to sit down). I FINALLY went in to get my phone activated. A half hour later...I was done and walked out with my white 16 GB in hand.
The thing is, after all that waiting, I'm not too excited about the phone which sucks because really, after waiting in line for 7 hours, I should be pooping out sunshine with excitement. But I'm not because my legs still hurt from standing in line and NOT being able to sit down on the mall floor.
