Old Lady at the Mall

I bet she has spends more time waiting in line at the Costco checkout than you spent for your phone. She's probably one of those people I see sitting in their car at the Costco gas station for twenty minutes just to save five cents per litre.
 
Old Lady at the Mall

I had a similar experience while picking up my phone on launch day. I pre-ordered my iPhone 6, and chose to pick it up at the Apple Store instead of having it delivered. When I got to the mall, the line for people that did not preorder wrapped around the whole mall, but the line for people that pre-ordered was about five people deep. while standing in line, an older woman, I would say mid to late 80s walked by the store multiple times back-and-forth with her younger daughter I'm assuming, yelling at the line over and over, "what's wrong with the iPhone 1!?" It was pretty great.

I've needed to get my wife an iPhone 6 as she's using an old iPhone that no longer works well.

Go online today in the morning and reserve an iPhone 6 for pickup between 2 and 3pm at the Apple Store. Here in Canada we can reserve online and then pay in store. Very easy assuming you can find stock.

Get to the mall at 2:15pm and happen to be the only one in the reservation line outside the store. Within minutes there's a few others behind me. Literally at 2:20pm an older couple walks by and in a disgusted voice the lady says to her husband loud enough that we can hear, "these people are obsessed waiting like this".

So I challeneged her to physical combat. Lol just kidding. But I went in the store 5 minutes later and was back in my car at 2:30pm. Very easy experience to be honest. I still remember the iPhone 4 launch. It was a disaster at the store I was at. Still wake up with cold sweats thinking about it.

Bet there was a bigger line when you bought your horse and buggy.
Bet there was a bigger line when you were getting on the Titanic.
Bet there was a bigger line when you were crossing the Atlantic with Columbus.
Bet there was a bigger line........ :D:D:D

If I could up-vote that twice, I would. Truly excellent comebacks. Rare.
