Seen stories on the news about people being camped out in front of stores since last week waiting to save 20% on the newest tablet or television.

Do these people have jobs? Or are they living off my dime? And how is this different from the "Occupy" idiots who camped out in public places.

These people are idiots.
 
I went to the fitness center this morning, then stopped by the drugstore to get my favorite mouthwash.

That was my Black Friday. No way am I out shopping. I need some groceries, but nothing that can't wait.
 
Anymore? Dude, when I worked retail back in the 70's, we had two women in a fist fight over a train set during our 50% off after Christmas sale. Store employees had to fight their way into the front door, the crowd thought we were trying to take their spots. Bah humbug, been going on long before 70's. It is called human nature. My state was settled and populated by a land rush. You know your stick n ball..Sooners were the people who cheated.
 
oh gees, I thought this was the hoards of trampling women, occupying idiots, living off my dime thread. o_O a little stick n ball trivia and history of human nature should fit right in to this name calling wank a thon.:)

All for Blu-Ray players A little language in it.
 
I use Black Friday to start hanging Christmas lights. Only go somewhere if I absolutely have to.
 
Was going to start on mine, but the tree cutters will be here Monday morning to take down a tree next to the house. I'll wait until they are done before stringing lights.

I stopped at Walmart Thursday evening after Thanksgiving lunch with my grandma. Needed to grab a couple of things, place was packed, but luckily no lines at the checkout. Just idiots waiting in line for hours for things like cheap waffle makers to be released to the public. I don't see how someone could value their time so little. Just standing in a line at walmart for hours. I'd rather sit at home and watch paint dry.
 
The Black Friday insanity has spilled over into Canada and there are some good deals to be had but there's no way my patience can outlast the throngs so I'll waste my money on Cyber Monday.

I've got 2 grand to throw at a DSLR....yipee:whoopee:

Bobby, that stereo comment was cold. Funny as hell, but ice cold :)
 
Years ago I worked at Wal-Mart, and on one of our Black Fridays one of our employees got accidentally punched in the face by a woman who was fighting her way through the pile to get a Care Bear. Blacked his eye and bloodied his nose. But, by God, she got her Care Bear.
 
You have to have the shopping gene for black Friday to make sense. The shopping gene is a combination of part looter/compulsive buyer/treasure hunter/excitement junkie.
