But I don't think you are "not understanding" anything. You know damn well people line up for new phones because they are excited about them and want to be the first in their group of friends to own one, or want to get them on eBay while there's leverage of scarcity. You are not expressing confusion and puzzlement, or asking anything, you are only posting to signal that you are better than the people who line up for phones, and people are upvoting you in shared feelings of superiority.

My comment is also a similar lie - I do understand yours really, but I was mimicking your comment style.
