name: nicholle

message: This one time, i was at a stupid carnival and i had 2 wait in a stoopid line for 1 stoopid hour, but i was only half way to the halfway mark, so i gave up, went back 30 minutes later, and waited for only 2 minutes! omg!
name: greendaygirl

message: I've never really stood in line for anything except maybe in wal-mart to get groceries or at the mall. But I don't see why any person in their right mind would want to wait for a long point of time for something. Like, yeah, it might be a good experience or something but still, what are you going to have after it's all over? Nothing but a memory and maybe a trinket that you got. Such as a band tee from a concert you went to. It still doesn't make a big difference in who you are, except for that you might get a little more snobby about things because you saw a celebrity from afar. Seriously, people, what is the point.
name: Laken

message: Well this isn't the LONGEST i've ever stood in line but the lunch line at school is a hell of a long line and i wait in it for like 10 minutes then i only get 5 minutes to eat. Dam
name: dont matter but i got stong opinions man

message: I stood in line for about 2 hours for the Test Track ride at either Disney or Epcot in Florida. Worth the wait.
name: Will
