Megs and I decided to stop in at the Apple store to see if we could snag a couple new iPhones after dinner. She was there at the official opening to cover the chaos, but I had no idea what people would do to get this phone!
We tried EVERYTHING — sneaking in line outside, sneaking in line inside, hiding behind a pole, using my “broken” phone at the Genius bar, bribing people in line by purchasing their new phone, and of course playing the dumb blonde who didn’t know it was such a big deal. NOTHING FUCKING WORKED!
Actually, we were shocked none of the fanatics who had been waiting in line would allow us to cut for a free phone. Not only would they get their coveted gadget, but also have it for FREE. Admirable!
Before dinner, I really could have cared less. But Megs’ passion rubbed off on me. So I’ll hit up the store tomorrow at 7am before my 8:30 spin class Uptown. Ugh.
I thought this was a parody post when I first saw it BECAUSE IT IS JUST THAT SAD.
“Who are these people and why are they so stupid,” said to me by friend Tim just now as he heard the video playing from the other side of the room. He added, “WE WANT WHAT WE WANT AND WE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WANT IT.”
EDIT: He really didn’t understand what was going on. He thought it was an internet joke video.
