Shopping > Black Friday ... Wtf
 

Black Friday ... Wtf

I added the WTF because I'm wondering what the f...are people thinking getting up at the butt crack of dawn to fight crowds of people to start their Christmas shopping. PD wouldn't dare think of it for two reasons. First reason is: She used to work retail and remembers the hell of Black Friday. Second: Any sleep she can get, she takes. There's no way in hell she's going to wake up that early unless she absolutely has to. I may be an early riser but I'm not going to fight the crowds. I finished my Christmas shopping last month. Actually PD and I just about start right after the previous Christmas and just slowly find stuff our family may like. We wait a little bit on the kids(aka nieces and nephews) because they mostly want clothes and they are growing. If you went out today instead of baracading yourself indoors...nice hair and black eye.
'nuff said.

When I lived in Modesto, CA, I would go to the mall just to see who was there. It was a social event. Now.... I'm not driving to Klamath Falls to shop. Besides our choice of stores if very very sad. Most people in this area go to Medford.

I only left the house to go for a walk around the neighborhood. No way we were going to go shopping.

Black Friday is amateur day on the road. I nearly got killed by a crazy woman driving a Cadillac CTS last year in the parking lot at Kohls. Never again! I wait until the week before Christmas anyway, and get what I need for 50 percent less than on Black Friday. Fools.

I saw some people on MONDAY camping out in line by Best Buy so they could get a good deal on Friday... insane! If you shop wisely throughout the year... as you've already done, you wouldn't need Black Friday!

They had stores that opened at mid-night here.

I don't do, never have done, the Black Friday thing--besides with the economy the way it is today after this weekend things will be cheaper and most items will be practically given away BEFORE Christmas gets here!

Donna wanted to get to Walmart to get a TV for $300, but she couldn't get up early enough! I knew she couldn't, but I said what the hell, if you want to go, we'll go. See, I know how to earn brownie points!
