First Person in Line for an iPad? Why, Greg Packer, Of Course

This pathetic slob is everywhere.

NYC residents planning to line up for the iPad will likely get a whiff of Greg Packer, who has been camping three days to buy Apple’s new tablet.

This isn’t the first time Packer, a retired Long Island highway maintenance worker, has committed to being first in line for an Apple product, either. He also camped out in front of the NYC Apple Store for the original iPhone in 2007.

Actually, he’s been first in line for a lot of things non-Apple-related as well, as Gawker points out:

•The Super Bowl victory rally for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006
•The Super Bowl victory rally of the New York Giants
•The 2005 release of the novel Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
•Bill Clinton’s first book signing
•Greeting President George W. Bush after his inauguration

He's everywhere.
