People over 30 years old... Is there anything you would wait on a line for at this age (eg. Food, restaurants, concerts, clubs, bars, celebrity photos, etc)?

Restaurants out of necessity. I haven’t been to a concert in years, and have never waited in line for any of those things before. I’m more of a hole in the wall type bar in the local suburbs, not the city type club, so no, I would not wait in line.

C1 - Waiting in line is truly the pinnacle of showing your affection to your kids. Imagine living your life through your kids. Different strokes for boring folks I guess.

When the line is because of a process like security checks or payments, I'm fine with that. Just people doing their job. But if it's a line manufactured out of some pretentious sense of exclusivity...nah. I've done that before and nearly 100% of the time it was a disappointing experience once I got in.

I love this question 💀 let’s just say if I go somewhere that doesn’t allow reservations, it has to be an event I’m very excited for. The type of event doesn’t matter but I need to have a vested interest and key items: comfortable shoes, my travel fan (I’m in Texas), water, and snacks if the line is 3+ hrs long.

But I’m waiting in line outside in the summer heat, I better be waiting for a life changing experience.
