I once queued for four hours for Wimbledon tickets. The tennis was good, and it was great to say that I saw some cool matches that year, but any feeling of joy I had was diminished by my aching feet and generally being pissed off about having to queue for something I could watch on TV.
I also queued for about two hours once to get out of Wembley Stadium, because of a tube delay. Anyone that's walked along Wembley Way before will know that getting out (if you need to get to the station) is hell. Nowadays, I park nearby instead, or rent a bike and cycle near a station that isn't fucked.
I know that as a Brit queueing should be in my blood, but I just can't be fucked with any queue that's longer than 4-5 people.
