It's been a looooooonnnngggg time since I've ever camped out, or stood in lines for a release. But it was kinda interesting, sad, annoying, amusing (all at the same time!) to listen to some of the younger generation's conversations. I find it hard to call yourself a "sneakerhead" when you criticize someone for wearing anything that's not NIke SB or Jordan Brand...as if those are the ONLY brands a "sneakerhead can wear!!!
There was also a young man in line who talked entirely too much. Everytime another person entered the line he'd ask what size they wore and let them know that they weren't getting his 8.5. He was one of the 1st people in the store, but turned out he couldn't use his grandmother's credit card. So what does this young man do? He calls his grandmother to the store (at 6AM, mind you) to come and sign off on the purchase. Wouldn't be so bad if his grandmother wasn't literally using a walker to get around. She was obviously not in her best health, and still had on her night clothes. It was a pretty sad sight....but I guess the things you do for shoes.
Realist story I read today.
