Eeeeeeee, I remember this....

(Seems this post is sponsored by Blockbuster, and I can't be bothered changing it, but you get the drift)

Calling Blockbuster to make sure they had a copy of the new release you wanted.

Wandering the new-release section aimlessly when they didn't have it.

Jumping for joy when you found an out-of-stock movie you wanted in the return box.

Going to Hollywood Video when you were really desperate to see a movie they didn't have at Blockbuster.

The excitement of scoring a movie in the clearance section for $3, the same price of a rental.

Memorizing the "Coming Soon" sign at the checkout line that displayed what movies would be in stock next week.

Longing for some movie-theater candy in the Blockbuster checkout line.

The rage you'd feel when you opened up the case at home only to find a different movie.

The fun of watching a movie you rented for a second time the next morning.

Having to rush back to the video store to return a one-day rental.

Rolling your eyes when a previous costumer didn't rewind the rental you just picked up.

Pressing rewind and going about your business until you heard the click.

Dropping your movies in the return slot even when Blockbuster was open.

Having to actually go in to return it when you owed a late fee.

Renting movies that were so long, they took up two VHS tapes (we're looking at you, Titanic).

Feeling like a real adult when you got your own Blockbuster card to put in your otherwise empty wallet.
