You were still at home? In seventh grade, my friend ditched out of school to pick up his pre-ordered copy of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64 on launch day. He was in the mall the minute the doors opened, not realizing that just because the mall was open it didn't mean Babbage's was.

He and his brother spent about a half-hour to an hour alternating between rapping on the glass doors, holding up their preorder slips, pointing at their watches, and making "When?" gestures.
