THE PRICE IS WRONG B*T@H

QUESTION: What is the longest line you have ever stood in?

3 years ago I went with Natalie Allred and a group of her friends to THE PRICE IS RIGHT!! It was a few months before Bob retired. We were in line ALL DAY.!!!!

We got to california and rented an EXPENSIVE, crappy hotel for 3 hours. I tried to tell everyone that we should all just stay in the van but noone listened. I have stayed in some crappy hotels in my time but this one was by far the worst. There was mold growing on the ceiling in the closet! no joke. The sheets were damp and the floor was wraunch!! We crammed about 7 girls in there and I think we all paid about $40!! To sleep 3 hours!! NOT WORTH IT. We get in line outside of the studio at 2 am and the line already wraps around the block. I think we were around # 150 in line. People had been sleeping there all day and night. We brought 1 queen size mattress and all piled on. This was fun for about 10 seconds. We waiting till 6 am. The line started moving and we didn't really know what to expect. We get to the front of the line and they give us a ticket and tell us to come back in 2 hours. REALLY? So we go and sleep in the van. 1 girl even slept on the roof of the van!!! haha. We were parked in a parking garage so I bet we looked silly. At least it gave us more time to primp and look hott for Bob. 2 hours later we go back and get in line again only to get ANOTHER ticket and told to come back in another 2 hours. At this point I was done. I don't care if he is retiring, or dying, or getting his body frozen to be awakened in 100 years. I wanted sleep and food. This time we decided to hang out in a diner down the street and order some breakfast. Back in line for the 3 time and they put us in order, another line, and have us wait to be interviewed. This line and waiting took another 2 hours. By noon we were finally in our seats. The show took about 1 hour. It was a lot of jumping up and down and looking excited and such. We didn't even get on stage. lame. Or on TV. LAMER. After Bob did his show they told us that we were "lucky" because we got to go through the show again while they did an interview for a replacement host. So this meant we had to stay for another hour and pretend to be excited while some guy did an interview? Didn't they know we had been up all day and we were tired? They also let us know that it was just "practice" so this time we wouldn't be winning actual prized. ummmm... HELLO, we are all adults. We stopped playing pretend a LOOOONNNNG time ago. GIVE ME THE VACATION NOW. So by 2 we finally got to go home. The only good thing was that after the show I ate my first Chipotle burrito and fell in love with it. Don't worry, the relationship didn't last long. Apparently all that rice and tortilla are bad for me. The chipotle salad, no rice, no cheese, no sour cream is my rebound. Do you feel sorry for me? You should.

Maybe if I had grown up watching the price is right this would have been a lovely experience for me and the memory wouldn't be so tainted. However I did NOT grow up watching it and it wasn't a lovely experience. I wish that my grandparents could have gone in place of me because they are die hard fanatics. They would have passed out at all the excitement. So there you have it....

2nd place for longest line would be BLACK FRIDAY. Its a tradition in the family. No Sleep, just line standing ALL NIGHT.
