Is there anything worse than the tedium and frustration you experience while waiting in line?
Especially if you’re waiting for something special, the anticipation makes you want to burst out of your own skin, am I right?
It’s one thing to wait in line at the grocery store, pharmacy, bank, etc., but when you’re actually looking forward to whatever is waiting for you at the end of the line, every second is a minute, right?
I’ve spent more time than I care to measure waiting in line with hundreds of fanboys at Fan Expo Canada, and even when you’re geeking out to the max, lines are brutal on the nerves!
And this is just the line OUTSIDE!
And what about waiting in line at Wal-mart at Christmas?
’Tis the season to be jolly, my ass! Admit it, there have been times when you could have beaten some fellow shopper into a coma with a Tickle Me Elmo just for cutting in line or taking too long at the cashier, right?
Yep, lines rock.

Lines are not my favorite things. The grocery store is the worst. Walmart lines almost put me in a coma.
The only line that makes me laugh is the one to get on a plane. People we are all going to leave at the same time no matter what. And you won’t have to stand either, so why did you have to run over my foot with your luggage to bash your way to the front of this line?
People are animals at their core, I know that for a fact!
I hate waiting in line.
I think EVERYONE does!
I’ll be waiting in line this evening, with everyone else whose wife, girlfriend, or woman in their life urged them to take the coming storm seriously. I hate being among the sheep herded by wack weather reports. However, if it’ll keep the peace between my fiancee and I, then I’ll brave the lines at the grocery store today.
Great post!
Thanks, Alan!
I hope you stay safe – and sane!
I don’t mind waiting in line if I have someone to wait with, but waiting alone definitely sucks.
It sure does!
I agree; waiting in line is terrible. That’s why I do all my Christmas shopping at 2 AM. usually no one’s around, and you can breeze right through. except, even then, when I go to Wal-Mart, there’s still a line. Arrrrgh.
It seems Wal-mart is ALWAYS busy!
LOL….Mentioning Christmas shopping brought back many UNMERRY memories from Black Friday shopping…..I always start out happy and then end the day anything but! In fact, by the end of Black Friday, I feel like turning into Jason from Friday the 13th and killing a few people……~coughs~ but I wouldn’t do that….;)
I don’t envy anyone caught up in the Black Friday hysteria!
