You pay $130 a month?! Bwahahahaha. Thank the lord I had a buddy set me up with a 25% a month discount. I pay around $79. $130 a month isn't worth it for ANY phone.
Got a tip for us?

Yea, we've got a guy at our office who has a truck in the parking lot COVERED with religious sayings like 'god with save you', and 'where will you go when you die?', etc. It's in big white lettering all over his back windows and doors and stuff.
It doesn't make any of us go 'gee, that's interesting, I think I'll go to church and look into that a bit more'. All it does is make us go 'I hope that goofball doesn't shoot up the office some day'.
No, it's not. If this guy truly has a condition that prevents him from working and has to be on taxpayer assistance I'll accept that. I simply question if his benefit amount is reasonable for him to be able to do this while the rest of us who aren't in his situation work our asses off and still get sunk. I have a co-worker who is getting ready to file for bankruptcy because of medical bills. He is working full time and still finds himself under a million and a half in expenses he never wanted because of the health care system in this country.
He doesn't need to. Obviously has no girlfriend or job to worry about keeping.
It's how he plans to keep his place in line.
So he's sitting in front of the store for a week for no reason at all??? Maybe this guy does have an issue with his brain, and it's not epilepsy.
I think the extortionate cost of a contract was one reason why so many people were so outraged to hear that a guy with no job was queuing for a new iPhone.
I'm looking forward to see where this story is going. I sense a small GizmodoGate.
Cool bro! I'll try & C if there will be a video on there site. Supporting u from Hawaii.
AHHHH! I just realised that it is THAT wagoner!
So what do you do apart from sitting there to get a bloody phone that you already pre-ordered? Is this about some stupid press coverage? You mentioned that a few times.
For your information, I work from my computer most of the time. When I'm on Macrumors, I usually travel, commute or wait for flight connections and unlike your iPhone, I can multitask.
But let me tell you, I never worked in any industry where leaving the business behind for a week - even for personal reasons - was possible. That is the privilege of employees.
So what do you do? You said that you had no job then you said that you had a business. What sort of a business is that? Can you do it while sitting there all day? Don't take it the wrong way but do you actually pay tax and do you declare your activity to the social services?
Some of you people are absolutely absurd. All up in arms because you're "paying his disability benefits?" Really? Going to tattle on him for disability fraud? Really?
I guess maybe since he isn't paralyzed and missing fingers or have an eyepatch he should be chained to his desk like the rest of us are, and he's wasting time and a huge loser for hanging outside of the store for a week, but just remember:
The only time he is wasting is his own. Him sitting out there has absolutely no effect on your life, and if it does that's pretty sad. As long as he enjoys himself, that's all that matters.

P.s.
A seizure disorder is not a disability.

I concur with you. If he can camp out for a week in that heat, he can also sit in an air conditioned office and file some papers or something similar that earns him a wage. But as long as the disability check pays for the highest-end phone with a pricey monthly plan, I guess there's no motivation to get a job...
Actually I have had several test and EEG's run. I'm non-epilepic. The doctors aren't sure what causes them. I'm disabled because they prevent me from been able to drive leaving no choice but to get around on the bus when needed.
I'v already said several times I have my own money in savings that I am paying with.
My wife was happily employed for three years, full time, plus overtime, with only the bus to get around.
I make no comment whatsoever about anything else. The bus, however, works just fine for many people.
You're classed as disabled on the basis of being unable to drive a car around? In many parts of the world that's considered normal.
Enjoy your week!
If the poster with the account jwagoner is indeed the guy on the sidewalk, we now have a double whopper :
So he is seeking attention after all. So much for those friends saying he isn't...
And he's full of crap. Not being able to drive a car is not a disability. Some of my workmates don't have driver's licenses either and they still come in every morning.
Either you're fit for work, or you're unfit for sitting around on the sidewalk in dallas for 7 days straight.

um, no. And exactly what are YOUR medical credentials???
I have a very close relative that has seizure disorder she cannot work because of it, she's on social security disability too.
I happen to know for a FACT it is a medical condition that causes disability. You can take your little wiki-article and shove it.
My fishnet re-usable grocery bag I paid $5 for at Kroger was made by a blind person -it was so noted on the label. I wonder if that person's disability was preventing him from driving too..
Quote from Justin Wagoner:
"There is even a portable toilet around the back of the store if needed."
Needed??? Who can hold it for a week?
Superman can. He has a super bladder and super bowels. Although I wouldn't like to use the same toilet after he's used if from holding it all in for a week. Just imagine the super stink.
