Do you ever queue up for hours??
Discussion
I see that people have spent hours waiting to get into Clarkson’s new pub. Previously there were lineups to get to his farm.
I cannot understand this. I will not wait for a restaurant with no reservations, stand in a line for anything other than getting on a plane or the like.
The cult of celebrity has passed me by completely. No instagram account,,no visiting of places that appeared in films, would not pay extra for a perfectly normal car that was owned by someone famous, ( though I would for a car with competition history)
Why spend hours waiting for a pint when you are jammed in like sardines?

Agreed, I would not consider queuing for anything like that, barking mad. I think I remember people lining up in the UK when 'Wendy's' opened up a new branch. I might be willing to queue to get away from a Wendy's!I cannot understand this.

I ended up waiting two hours at the barber
You’d think three chairs, four in the queue would be a reasonably quick visit, right?
No. Every single f
ker waiting wanted the full beard trim, hot towel experience. Once I was half an hour in, I was fully committed. Looking forward to the beard era ending…

Looking forward to the beard era ending…I have avoided most waiting and queueing all my life by getting up early if I'm going somewhere. Easy to find a parking space, get sat down for lunch straight away because you're hungry earlier than everyone else, etc. But in my experience most people are lazy and disorganised and haven't got their arse into gear until nearly lunchtime.
As for the cult of celebrity. No. I will not make more effort or pay more because a celebrity is involved. The value, for me, is in the substance of the experience. Classic car? Buy on condition, age, mileage, etc. Celebrity owner in the history? Couldn't care less.

If you don't queue up for hours what do you put on your socials to show you're 'living your best life'?
It's bks. I see it in a lot of young adults where the entire motivation behind a behaviour is to show everyone on social media what a great life you are having.
Example: We went to a wedding in Ibiza. As part of the week's proceedings, the group (mostly being a bit younger than us) went to Ocean Beach, a 'club' run by Wayne(ker) Lineker. There were vapid tarts everywhere looking miserable right up until they got the background for the perfect selfie, at which point the bleached teeth came out and click click click. Then back to looking miserable and trying to fight through all the other vapid tarts to find the next picture for their Instagram. We left after being there long enough to be polite and went to the port for a nice lunch.

I don’t understand it either. I certainly wouldn’t queue for hours for a pint of crappy Hawkstone lager.
They have started selling it in a pub local to me. Don't need to travel.I haven't tried it but I'm willing to bet it tastes like all other lager on the planet. I'll stick to a nice IPA thanks.

It’s very much ingrained into Youth culture now, I witnessed it first hand with my 12 year old daughter just this week, she was miserable and grumpy all morning, saw her take a couple of pics for Snap Chat where she was posing and smiling then back to being grumpy again. I asked her about it and was told I wouldn’t understand. It's b
