The 6 kinds of idiots you see waiting in line for the new iPhone

1. This morning a guy in a truck drove by and shouted 'assholes' at the two families,...

...the elderly lesbian couple, and the war veteran car mechanic waiting in line with me at the Verizon store.

He knew just as much about us as that cartoonist does.

3. I think you're number one in the cartoon. n/t

[Ikonoklast]

4. Oh. My. God.

Dude, that was mean as all get out, and I am going to catch hell for this, but I blew a snot bubble laughing at that!

6. I think you might be the guy in the truck. n/t

[geardaddy]

9. Nah, I wouldn't yell at people standing in line.

I just think it's funny that someone who's such a fan boy of i-Everything can't take a joke.

10. +100

11. I think it's funny how people would obsess over it one way or another

It's as if people form their identity by what phone they have or judge people by what phone someone else has. It matters to me about as much as what brand underwear someone wears.

I'm a BVD kind of guy, FWIW. I never thought too much of those who wear Calvin Klein.

12. See, that's the funny thing.

I don't care one way or another whether somebody buys an ipone or a blackberry or whatever. I just thought the cartoon was pertinent, since I saw a line around the block at the Apple store when I was taking the bus to work.

FWIW I don't have a cell phone.

13. I posted a pic of zombies headed for the Apple store

I also sometimes wear a t-shirt of the Android robot eating an apple (my son gave it to me). So I'm just as guilty of perpetuating this, even though I own mulitple iOS devices. However some people get wrapped around the axle about it (not saying you). I also see this with cars, motorcycles, bikes, and other things that people buy.

15. I agree.

No, I get what you're saying. I find it funny that no one stands in line for the next version of the iPad though.

14. classic. eom

[HopeHoops]

2. That about covers it.

[Dash87]

5. Hipsters!

7. How about the person who can't make their house payment

but got a new iphone today

ugh

[baldguy]

8. Only 6?

16. I can't imagine waiting in line to buy anything.

I like iPhones, and I suppose I'll get a new one eventually, since the one I have now is about 4 models behind and stuff is starting to not work. But they'll still be available in a few months (after they get the bugs out of the map app), and maybe I'll get one then. Maybe. Just can't see any reason to stand in line to be the first one on the block to get one. It's not like they're going to stop making them.

17. Graphics that good would seem to be professionally generated

unless someone is a Fanboy for Samsung.

If this was just someone obsessing and hating on Apple then it fits with my theory that the people who annoy us most are people who display traits which we fear in our selves.

But my first guess is these were done by Samsung or a surrogate of Samsung.

18. lol!

I'm happy that I don't know what 'jailbreak' or 'genius bar' is.
