What wouldn't you do, that many others do?

In the latest crazes, I look at people and I realize my life is obviously much better than most.

I have seen "wrap-around the building" lines at Best Buy, Circuit City, Target and Wal-Mart for the PSP, X-Box 360, Halo 2, and most recently the Playstation 3. The question that comes to my mind is, why? (I didn't notice a line for the Wii, which dropped 2 days after PS-III, with ample supplies, not a trickle out effect- (which tells me they have a good, solid product, and are not trying to create a frenzy, or their limit their warrantied repairs and bad press over trying to make a jack-of-all-trades system).

Don't everyone scream "E-Bay" at the same time.

In the same vein, I don't understand the idiots that stood in line for days at the local theaters in anticipation of Star Wars Episode I (I didn't notice as many for episodes 2 & 3).

There aren't many things I'd stand in a long line for, and certainly nothing electronic (laptop, video game, etc..) that will be either outdated or half-price in a year or so, that I'd wait in line overnight for. THat's one thing I wouldn't do...

What wouldn't you do that you see others doing?

That is why I stayed home, so I could hang on the forum.
No really we were snowed out.




Some of the things I would not do that a lot of other people do.

conduct my life where i never have to say sorry, ( I just don't care )

As you said it, wait in a line up to spend my money. I would rather come back later or go some where else.

I wouldn't get upset if someone shot me for not using my turn signal, like so many others do when I shoot them.

You're just now realizing this? I've some amazing news for you. Are you sitting down? It's far better than you even realize.

Second, your opening statement actually has nothing to do with the rest of your post. It should read:

"Upon examining the latest crazes, I look at people and realize that I am smarter than most."

As for what I wouldn't do that I see others doing, the list is too long to write here.

1) go on a cruise.

2) go slower in the left hand lane of a multi-lane road than the cars driving on the right of me.

I thought about that but it would have been a bad idea. I would have suggested we meet up for coffee, but being a man you would decline, then I would feel bad that Lovetrucks didnt want to have coffee with me and my whole holiday season would be ruined.

Well Lovetrucks the man may have declined meeting for coffee, but Lovetrucks the female would have accepted meeting for drinks.
