Never have I ever waited in a long line (for hours) for something. I’m guessing an hour in an amusement park line doesn’t count.
If my H ever waited for something, it was before I met him in college. Anytime a hard to find toy was needed, H could do it without waiting. He’s an avid toy collector, and knew all the ins and outs of every place in town. He could always get his hands on what we needed without much trouble. It’s his superpower.
One story we like to tell amongst ourselves. The parents of one of the kid’s friends collects Scotch. They used to wait in line for hours. Once their kid became 21, he would wait in line for them. He sat in front of the ABC store all night in a chair during his Xmas break. It was in the teens! If you knew how good natured and laid back this kid is, you just have to laugh. I think my kid sat with him for a little while, but not long!
My family does not have the temperament to wait in such lines, myself included! There is nothing I need that badly. Or rather, I hope I will never ever need something that badly.
