What's the longest you've had to wait in a line and what for?!

When I was in college, before computers...

We would have to line up for hours to register for classes.

Disney World in August before "fast passes" in the early 90's.

roller coasters at six flags great adventure

I think it was waiting for Prince to let us into the soundcheck in Vegas in '06. I got in line around 2:30 and we got in a little after 6 IIRC.

Never done anything like that before and won't do it again because I absolutely hate waiting, period. Rather than wait for anything, I'd rather leave if I can.

waiting in line at six flags isn't bad if its the lines for batman cause they got the sdtrk of prince in loop!!

I waited a long time to get Oasis tickets for an arena gig once. It was a waste of time.

The insane Vatican Museum queue

here, we call it a que.

MOSt excellent!!!!!! back in the day he used to feel like jamming for us once in a while on a friday night. if a person were sturdy enough to survive a midnight trip to the park, stand in line for an hour or so, there were times when he'd come out and be on fire. like, he had a new idea going on or you could tell he'd been working on something and he'd play it for us.... smoking hot and electric like nothing else

i swear the air was crackling with electric/energy in there one night. sparks were flying. he played something for us i've not heard since. don't know if he ever did anything with it but it was THE funkiest isht i've ever heard... dude was just up there, winging it. :awe:

I wouldn't try to sell that.

of course not! it's in a glass case, awaiting a day when the science of cloning has been perfected.

Disneyland! 2-3 hours waiting in line for a ride

I sì what you did there

Opening Night; Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Pt 1. In the car with my consort -- both of us head-to-toe clad in Hogwarts costumes. We were in the drive-thru at Taco Bell for HALF AN HOUR. Still don't know what fucking took so long. We didn't even end up eating; as soon as the line moved, we left. We would've left earlier had we not been sandwhiched in between 2 cars. There was in fact a point in time when I hopped out of the car -- Slytherin cloak dragging and wand flailing in the air, cussing at the window. Never. Again.

To quote Jay-Z: "I got no patience and I hate waitin'." I've got no love for long waits in line as they involve other human beings. Inevitably, somebody who I have absolutely no desire to talk to will decide that we're suddenly best friends and yammer on about the most inane nonsense for the next two hours. Siiiigh... anyway.

Longest I've ever been in line would be the two times I've done the Best Buy Black Friday sales. The first one about five hours, the second one (this year) almost ten (in the bitter cold and we bought NOTHING!).

I've never waited a ridiculous amount of time to get into any entertainment venue (concert, movie, exhibit, etc). I prefer assigned seats these days, but if the entire show is general admission it doesn't matter to me when I get in. The sound is almost always better behind the soundboard or further back in the house. And if I want to get up front, I will.
