I completely agree with everything you said, and you working in retail would certainly know! There is this frantic mood that sets in and people lose all reason. The stores don’t help either by amping up the hysteria with their *limited quantities* junk.

And as for being a “better woman?” Glutton for punishment…not better. =)

Yeah, it ended up being pretty anti-climactic and I was back in my bed before the frost set in. I realized something about myself this year…the slashed prices just ain’t worth it. Next year I’m sleeping in! =)

I worked in retail, 3rd shift at Walmart to be exact. Every year, I was at work the night before/morning of Black Friday. I saw the idiots lining up at midnight for the 20 computers/tvs/cameras/whatever else that were on sale at limited quantities. Black Friday shoppers, IMO, are the lowest of low people on the planet. The things they’ll do to “get ahead” are appalling.

Personally, I don’t set foot outside the house unless it’s a freakin’ emergency! You’re a better woman than I am, that’s for sure! 🙂

I can’t be believe my eyes! I actually know some one crazy enough to participate in the Black Friday masses.

You’ve got gumption, I’ll give you that. I would never and I mean never have enough nerve to sit outside all night.

You go girl!

So, you’re saying that shopping the brick ‘n mortars on Black Friday in your jammies is a bad idea? God. I wish someone would have told me. =)

Oh, labor pains. That would have been awesome! Although, in truth, I think I was more concerned with not landing myself in the pokey. =)
Mindy

I know, right? It also offended my hubby’s southern sensibilities. Although, he was a little more concerned about whether I’d managed to pick up his Fat Max measuring tape for a buck or not. Nice. =)
Mindy

Ah…you got it sistah! And Black Friday is scary…and so not worth it. I think I finally learned my lesson this year. However, I did not get into any minor altercations, so that’s a bonus! =)
Mindy

Man, I guess Toys R Us was where it’s at! I am learning that I am also not of the patient variety…I’m also learning there are a bunch of wingnuts out there! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!! =)
