Okay, who here is insane crazy silly enough to subject themselves to shopping on Black Friday??

My wife pulled me out on Black Friday a few years ago…to one store….never again.

Yet ANOTHER reason why I hate the holiday season.

This ranks up there with the chuckleheads who have been waiting for 4 days for a PS3.

This doesnt directly deal with black friday but I did see something on the news last night about people camping out at a Local Best Buy for the New playstation. About Black Friday though most times you can get the same deals in October if you look for em.

As a 35 year old female with money to spend, I have never gone shopping on Black Friday. Is that weird?

Are their really, really any deals, not just $5 here, and $10 there.

I work in retail, so I will be working 8 hours in the mall on Black Friday.  No shopping, though.  I plan to be done shopping by Thanksgiving.  If I'm not, it's all getting done over the Internet.

Last year I swung by Best Buy at 4:30 am on my way to the gym and police were directing traffic because the traffic was backed up onto the main road.  You could not even get in the parking lot.  I had already driven by the Wal Mart and the same thing was happening there.

No I.  We'll be hosting T-day Redux for friends and family on Friday (you're all welcome to join us).

I don't really get into shopping until Dec.  I hate crowds.  I firmly believe that the average IQ of a crowd is reduced 1 point for every person in the crowd.

- 2006-11-16 11:14 AM WHAT THE ROCK IS BLACK FRIDAY?

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving when it seems like nearly 99% of the population is shopping at brick and mortar stores. It's considered the day when US retail establishments go from being in debt to making a profit (being in the "red" to being in the "black" ).

 

Mainly, it's the reason that I plan on doing all of my Christmas shopping online.

My brother & I go out and hit the mall every year on Black Friday.  We rarely actually buy anything, but window shop and people watch and get lunch.  It's become a tradition for us.

There's an outlet mall near me that's opening at MIDNIGHT.  I might go

I usually do shop on Black Friday, but if you see me you'll notice I'm the most relaxed person out there.  It's because the rest of the crazies amuse me greatly   And I'm in no rush, I'm there just for fun, not to scramble for bargains. 

K of P is a fun place on Black Friday, if you don't let the parking lot get to ya!

One year we were in Indy visiting the in-laws. I offered to keep the 4 kids while my wife went shopping with her mother. We were going to spend the day at the Indy children's museum. Got up, didn't feel too good, pulled over and puked half-way there, but continued undaunted. Get to the museum and it is jam packed!! I'm thinkin' "Hey, why isn't everyone at the mall?" Met up with my wife later that day, and she commented that there weren't that many people out shopping. Duh, they were all at the museum, with ME!!
