It Surely Can't Be Worth It????

At 6:45am this morning my boyfriend calls me and says, "hey, what in the heck is selling at Target that people are lined up all around the building already?" I had to think. I had NO IDEA.

    I've yet to find anything (other than the lines at Disney World) that's worth standing in line for.

    I refuse to stand in line for anything other than a bathroom at a crowded pub.

    And even then the fern in the corner starts to look inviting.

    Wow, and here I thought Minnesota was an incredibly boring place, with nothing to do except stand around in the cold weather. Thanks for the clarification!

    When the XBOX 360 came out a few years ago (atleast I think that's what I was trying to get)- I waited all night outside of Circuit City to *attempt* to purchase one for my little brothers. They were only selling 10. I didn't get one, but the boy I was dating did. I was so mad! He sold it on eBay.

    That is hilarious! My boyfriend called me at work before 7 am too asking what was going on at the Target in Coon Rapids. He thought there was a shooting. LOL - nope, just the cd release!

    BTW - I haven't stood in line for one of these before, or anything for that matter. :)

    I stood in line for 45 minutes once, for a Wii. And I nearly started a fight between the guy in front of me and the couple behind me.

    Sometimes I'm tempted to just stop and stand in one of those lines when I see them. Just to see what I can stir up.

    I had a co-worker who stood out there for the CD today. Brrrrr!
    The only event I could do this for would be Twins World Series tickets. For them, I would.

    I stood in line overnight for the Krispy Kreme Donuts opening. I wish that I were joking, but I'm not. Quick side note - I'm not fat. Promise.
