If you've ever had to wait in line for something - maybe a ride at some famous amusement park, or for a copy of that just-released game, perhaps a console that's been selling out for quite some time - you know it's an annoying affair you probably wouldn't want to go through ever again.

If that's the case, then you should probably meet Greg Packer - a highway maintenance worker and hardcore linesitter from Huntington, New York, and coincidentally the very first guy in line for the highly-anticipated iPhone launch.

While we can certainly understand the overwhelming need to be the first to get an iPhone, what we don't get is the guy's obsession at being first in line for ANY newsworthy event. Yes, he's not actually in the line for the iPhone, but rather for the privilege - and the bragging rights - of being first.

From the unveiling of the viewing platform of Ground Zero to being able to meet singer Brandy in person - if you can be first in line for it, Greg's already camped out there, with his shirtless self draped on his portable lawn chair.

And not only does he get the media coverage for being the first in line, he's also regularly quoted at newsworthy events and his lines oftentimes appearing in major publications. The guy, if you really want to know, also has his own Wikipedia entry to boot.

How's that for getting your fifteen minutes of fame? Greg Packer, your core is indeed the hardest of them all - especially when it comes to linesitting.
