Default Burn in hell K Mart.

My mom informed me Friday night that on Sunday morning at 6am they were getting a shipment of Wii's in.

Last night at 1am my friend and I decided to wait in line. We were number 1 and 2. So around 1:30 another guy pulls up, he gets out and tells us they are getting three systems, so we wait!

Come 2am my friend gets something out of his car, comes back to the line to realize his keys are dangeling from his ignition. So I give him my house key and he starts to walk to my house. He ends up finding a piece of wire behind K Mart and breaks into his own car.

Time went so slow and it was cold as anyhing at this point.
3am
3:15am
3:30am
3:45am
4am
4:15am
4:30am
4:45am

5am the first batch of employees showed up. Im still number 1 in line.

5:30am they place a sign in the door...

"Due to shipping delays, as advertised in out 12/17 flyer their will be no nintendo wii's. Sorry for the inconveinence"

We just ended up laughing and went home, their wasnt much else we could do.

You got owned by K-Mart.

I didn't know Wii was in such a demand or shortage. I knew PS3 was, but not Wii.

, very good owned story. It's almost as funny as sitting at a K-Mart waiting for a video game system to arrive, lol.
