Your job forces you to lose on your vacation days? How is that even legal? Your employer sucks.
If that's the case why are you on MACRUMORS forums since it's all about these "fanboys"? Are you just trolling? Nothing better to do? Maybe stand in line instead of trolling, kind of same principal. You have a lot of time on your hands.
I would guess that the biggest risk to humanity is sheer hatred, ugliness and lack of empathy and caring about all of mankind, not just the ones who think like I do.
Or maybe it really is waiting in line.
Some people travel when they have vacations, while some binge on Netflix. These photos show what another group of people do with their accumulated vacation days.
why? this is the 9th iPhone. Hasn't the novelty worn off? I could understand for the first few generations but come on. It's a cult at this point.
Not necessarily. I'm not sure how much knowledge you have with Apple's preorder line up outside the Store, a number of these individuals are scalpers, only seeking to purchase the iPhones and immediately re-sell them for a profit on various websites. It's more and more prevalent, and was so with the Apple Watch.
Some have the intention of enjoying the euphoria of the launch and others are their based on to make money immediately. It's not uncommon in my area to see this trend growing.
So many negative comments. It's definitely not 2007 anymore....
Some people don't live in homes where its safe to have a $600+ object site on their door stoop.
It's mostly people who hate apple and yet are on an apple website constantly writing shXt here.
WTF???? Saving spots with chairs??? **** that ****. Everyone knows since primary school that you can't save spots. I have the right mind to go to my local store and plonk down 50 fold up chairs and let whoever sit down in them moments before the doors open just to piss people off!
I think people respect the "chairs". But mostly because I can imagine if someone cuts someone else the amount of conflict will escalate to violence (I'm guessing, I don't know)
Some people sit in coliseum parking-lots, drinking beer, cooking slabs of meat and wear costumes of their favorite gladiators. Using your logic, those individuals might be wasting their lives.
I don't think the lines will end being a long this year as for previous launches, but I might be wrong...we'll see.
In today's economy, why not?
I imagine there's another Angry Birds game coming out too.

Anything's more lucrative than MacSlop jobs.
Maybe? Or they're just lazy college students misappropriating student loan money that either a big bank or government gave out, since both lenders are not related "just because".
Happens over here in the Netherlands too.
Most common scenario: employee gets 25 vacation-days per year.
Only allowed a maximum of 5 days "left over" to be transferred to the next year.
This way the employer stops employees saving up vacation days and suddenly spend 100 or more vacation-days in one go.
Your experience with certain class of employer is limited. Its legal since the hours offered are well beyond the minimum required under most state laws for Full Time Employes. The goal of the use it loose it policy is to encourage the employees to take the vacation hours rather than let those hours roll-over multiple years.
pretty much happens with me too. im capped out at work and HAVE to take 2 days off a month....
I've only ever done the multiple hour line once and that was for the 4s I got to the line about 3am and waited. It was kind of fun surrounded by Apple lovers and had a good bit of a chat. After that never wanted to do it again, just wanted the 1x experience.
Pre order and wait is the way to go for me

I definitely would not spend overnight Camping in front of an Apple Store, but I think it would be interesing to meet new people, who share the passion of the iPhone and Apple. Excluding the black market scalpers.
Many people do unusual things with their accumulated vacation days. Some individuals while way their time sitting in bars watching steroid popping entertainers run around after a pigskin covered air sack.
Oh, c'mon. It gets them out of mom's basement for a couple of days. It's probably good for them as long as she packed a lunch and reminded them to take sunscreen.
