Another top 10 list of sorts, inspired by my experience in line for the new iPhone…

10. You already own an iPhone and you’re still waiting in line

9. You become instantly infatuated with the fanboy in front of you

8. You take a picture of the line with your v2 iPhone, email it to Brightkite, and wait anxiously for the comments of jealously to roll in

7. The line moves 2 inches in 2 hours and you’re still waiting

6. You take a not-so-secret pleasure in knowing what “Push” means

5. Free coffee and water seem like manna from heaven

4. You laugh at the normal people walking by who are laughing at you

3. The store crew runs around giving high fives and you cheer like a child at Disneyland

2. You get within inches of the door and your heart starts racing

1. You walk away thinking, “that was a once in a lifetime experience”
