I just saw on the news that some people (not sure where) they are camping out already for Black Friday! That's 2 weeks away ! I don't get that, don't these people have jobs? a life? The longest I have waited for anything to buy was 45 mins. tops. I recently had to wait 2 hours for the doctor. Well that's a little different I guess. I hate to wait and avoid it whenever possible.

Those women started a while back in Beaumont California..they will have been there 22 days...I don't lines good as I get antsy standing there... I am really surprised they aren't considered textbook loitering...in any case I think it is craziness...

Not so much anymore... But I used to have to wait in excess of 1 hour at the DMV. They fixed that, fortunately.

I think around 2 hours to buy my son a Wii for Christmas when they first came out. It was freezing cold and my feet became numb. By the time we were allowed inside I could barely stumble along to the electronics dept. That was many years ago and I will never do anything that stupid again.

A couple hours in line for the midnight release of Halo 2.

I went with my 14 year old son. Ironically my 17 year old daughter and her bf went to a different retail store in town, walked right in, and was home playing the game before we even got in the doors!

The DMV so maybe 45 minutes to an hour and half.

This whole camping out for Black Friday thing just shows how pathetic some people really are. It's nothing a good cold snap, blizzard, ice storm can't fix
