This morning out side my hotel in Edinburgh. Hundreds of people queuing up in -1 for a fking doughnut shop to open. Krispy Kreme, at least 200 people waiting. fking idiots

Why the fk would you que up for hours for some doughnuts? The place opened at 7am, i was up at 6am and there was a huge que at 6. There was children in buggies and toddlers. Morons! So on my way back to hotel tonight im sat in traffic for 2 hours. Why......still people and cars waiting for doughnuts. What sort of world do we live in, when a doughnut shop= traffic jams.
Oh and it has a fking drive though!!!!!!!!!

They were probably offering a penny discount.

The bloke at the front of the queue (from London, but had flown in from Istanbul) was there for 23 hours. And his reward was... 24 doughnuts a month, for a year, free. Hope he likes them.

The same thing happened when they opened a Krispy Kreme drive thru at the Metrocentre in Gateshead. So many cars trying to get through on opening day it completely blocked the car park and main exit road causing traffic chaos.

I've had some, from a different outlet, and they are alright for a tasty mass produced doughnut, but nowhere near as good as an artisan handcrafted item.

Sad thing is, this world is full of idiots and there always will be. The reason why you get people queueing at 6:00am in -1 degrees is because some people have an IQ equal to said temperature and they have nothing better to do of a morning.
