To the woman who barged in front of 150 patiently waiting customers on Lululemon’s opening morning: you did not wait in line with the rest of us, and your obnoxious self-righteousness in arguing that you had been was utterly shameful and dishonest. Furthermore, I don’t see how you could have had the audacity to keep your stolen place, given that everyone in front of you and behind you knew full well that you were lying, and were audibly demanding that you waddle to the back of the line. The rules governing our society are not yours to mutilate, regardless of how badly you wanted to squeeze your ass into a pair of yoga pants. As for the example you were setting for your teenage daughter, who, embarassingly, was forced to bear witness to your disgraceful behaviour? Nearly as foul as your cantankerous face.

Only one complaint brought out by the Lululemon Feeding Frenzy? Thats better than I had expected. This summer will hence-forth be known as “The Summer of Lemon” much like 1993 was the “Summer of MEC Backpacks Adorned by SO Students” and 1988 was “The Summer of Ralph Lauren from House of Rodney”A fine tradition keeps on going…the only low point being “The Summer of Crocs” or “The Winter of Ugs”.
Ha ha someone butted in line on the lulu lemmings, what a sad story.
ha ha, “lulu lemmings”. thats awesome. everybody say ‘om’
Why all the Lululemon hate? Sure, they’re trendy and expensive, but why is it any different than liking and buying Banana Republic/Sean John/Club Monaco/Ralph Lauren/Fubu/Under Armour/any other brand name?
OMG 150 people lining up waiting for it to open. Halifax is pathetic!
Just that there were so many people there waiting in line. They all looked foolish. The store is open for more than one day. You do not have to be there when the doors open. There will be other sales.
i dont really HATE lululemon, i didnt even know what it was until i couldnt go 5 mins without overhearing the word. i assumed it was synonymous with Gucci or Marc Jacobs and was high fashion shit, so imagine my surprise when someone informs me that everyone is going batshit insane over EFFING SWEATPANTS!!!!!!!! ive tried asking a few of my…shall we say dimmer friends and they all say the exact same thing “they’re just soooooo comfy” umm, ok, so are my 12.00 sweats from Wal Mart, and the sweatpants i stole from my student council room because i didnt even have enough school spirit in highschool to buy thier damn sweatpants. thats how cheap I AM. btu all cheapness aside, can anyone give me a reason besides “comfy” why one would wait hours in a line to pay tons of money for some sweatclothes? and pretty sure 8 out of every 10 people i saw in that line were NOT avid yoga fans. i think people just feel like they have to like lululemon or they’re not cultured. like champagne or caviar ….
Why do you have to go on opening day? They will still have stock tomorrow, or next week, and next month. It’s not like it’s a travelling salesman only opening up shop in town for 24hrs. Waiting in line for hours only to bump elbows and assholes with strangers for 20 min until I can find something to take to the cash line-up seems like a complete waste of an afternoon, when 2 days later you could come home with the same thing in a fraction of the time. I’m glad there were only 150 numpties in Halifax who hopped in that lineup.
Oh it was way more than 150…those were just the ones in line in the morning. When I walked down SGR at 3:45 that afternoon, there were still easily 2 dozen people lined up just to get in (fire regulations restricting the #’s of lemmings in the store at any one time). I’ve never seen anything like it, even for Boxing Day sales. It actually made me change my mind about wanting to purchase anything there.
God bless those glorious ass pants. I can’t believe they sell shit for guys. That made me laugh my ass off.
Did you see the mansy? It’s basically a women’s one-piece bathing suit marketed for men’s yoga. It’s got a bit more room for your junk I guess, but can you imagine doing Yoga in that thing?!? All the underbrush and tall timber popping out unexpectedly….*shudder*
I never knew what “lululemon” was until recently. And after seeing the name tossed around on here a lot, mostly in derision, I went and looked at the stuff on their website. It’s nice. Why does everybody hate it? Everybody except the luluemmings, of course…
