The "I hate Black Friday" thread

TulsaSaint said

This is for those of us who don't care about electronics deals, don't think it's worth spending 8 hours in line to get $150 off a 42-inch TV, try to avoid leaving the house the day after Thanksgiving, laugh at those idiots on TV spending $3,000 on Christmas presents for everyone they know, and think Black Friday is emblematic of our culture's extreme materialism.

I did it last year.

While I would never ever do it again, it was a much bigger savings than $150 ( more like $350 on a 32 inch TV) and I only stood for 2 hrs in line.:hihi:

With that said, that was the only item I went for. I had to still run the gauntlet of the store packed with mostly women (very few men ) and I gotta tell ya, it gets quite ugly. I was witness to women taking things out of other womens carts, yellingcursing at each other in "shopping cart grid-lock", security personnel who were being dragged six ways at once...it was pandemonium.

There is really nothing "holiday" about Black Friday.
