So, anyone brave the insanity today?

Ahh, black friday! My sister got up at the crack of dawn to drag her sister into the shopping insanity but has apparantly been to traumatized to now talk about it. I, on the other hand, slept in and then had pie for breakfast. Mmmm, pie! Anyone else brave or mentally disturbed enough to go out in search of the many necessary objects in the 10 pounds of newpaper ads? $200 child-size golf cart anyone? Chocolate fountain? Inflateable santa?

I wish I had a golf cart.

ladykat on Nov 24 '06 at 7:24pm

i don't know if i've ever shopped on black friday!

but this morning i had to pick up a couple of birthday cards, and since i was up bright & early for a 5 hour drive, i was one of the first people in the local drug store... so i got a 10% off coupon. woo!

ladykat on Nov 24 '06 at 7:25pm

okay, that really wasn't very exciting.

snittleface on Nov 24 '06 at 7:26pm

I left my house at 4am and shopped for 12 hours...

We spent most of our time at thrift stores, so take what you will from that.

I spent a lot of happy money today and I don't feel bad about it either!

squeegebeckenheim on Nov 24 '06 at 7:26pm

i did! we went later in the day though so it wasn't too bad.

kidaro on Nov 24 '06 at 7:26pm

You did the right thing. Insanity is to be avoided.

radiostaticstar on Nov 24 '06 at 7:26pm

mmm chocolate fountain, almost as good as a gravy fountain...

and no, i haven't shopped black friday for 6 years now...

radioactive_toast on Nov 24 '06 at 7:28pm

I thought about hitting a few thrift stores but I had to pack. Ugh. I guess they'll still be there when I get back.

RussB on Nov 24 '06 at 7:28pm

I did I went to wally mart and bought a Xbox360, then to circuit city for a DVD player, and target for some other small things. Cicuit city was the only bad place... no malls for me though

I'm usually working retail on Black friday, but not anymore :)

man, that musta been hell.

I went shopping this morning with my firend who is rich I didn't buy anything but she spent over 500 dollars. It's amusing watching her shop.

radioactive_toast on Nov 24 '06 at 7:32pm

Watching rich people spend large amounts of money is always amusing.

man, that musta been hell.

It wasn't ever fun thats for sure... well when I worked commission jobs it was. It's weird on the "other" side; I made sure I was nice to everyone today...

except the girl at circuit city I acted indifferent to hear, because she wasn't exactly nice

RussB on Nov 24 '06 at 7:36pm

damnit that wasn't supposed to be all italics

coolchika on Nov 24 '06 at 7:38pm

haha. Russ.

abeadle on Nov 24 '06 at 7:43pm

I shopped from 6:30Am�3PM it was insane and awesome and I'm super tired

whylime on Nov 24 '06 at 8:14pm

i just finished working black friday - it was insane

I closed our back up register at 6:30 and it had $2500 of cash in it - thats more money then I've ever held in my two hands at once ever

radioactive_toast on Nov 24 '06 at 8:39pm

I've never been so happy to not work retail in my life. I think I have discovered, by looking at too many adds while i was eating my pie, thier secret: making everyhting child size. I swear, they had every money wasting unecessary thing in a child's size: the child size golf-cart, the child-size pool table, the child size recliner ( "available in 8 upholsterycolors to match your decor!") When I was that age they just stuck me in a chair with some phone books under me!

Marque on Nov 24 '06 at 10:46pm

I went to the mall today, took 30min to find a parking spot.

We ended up leaving fairly quickly...breathing was impossible.

iPear on Nov 24 '06 at 10:46pm

I went to the mall, to visit my friend who had to work since 3 A.M. I gave her cawfee.

Khol on Nov 24 '06 at 10:48pm

i went last year and i still have scars on my feet from another womens stilettos.

who wears stilettos when they go shopping??

Laborpsus on Nov 24 '06 at 10:49pm

I tried to get up at 5AM.

I'd be the only straight guy there, so I might've had a clear advantage at EB Games...or Gamespot...or Banana Republic

well

maybe not that last one

but still

I watched Bond all day and had another Thanksgiving dinner with a few friends

exin on Nov 24 '06 at 10:51pm

I went to the mall around 930. Sales sucked; so not worth it. I bought panties. Boy-style, 'cause I'm tough. But that was all. I'm glad I didn't have to work today. I work at bath&body works and when I walked past the store today, the line STARTED at the entrance and wound around the side of the store.

Khol on Nov 24 '06 at 10:51pm

bond was playing on the spike channel all day. i decided to watch entourage, i love that show.

Jennyfurrr03 on Nov 24 '06 at 10:52pm

I just went to one store at like 4:30 and bought a good bit of stuff. Yay for a new tv!

AsStarsGoOut on Nov 24 '06 at 10:56pm

my parents and sister got up at four oclock to go shopping. . .i had to work at seven. . .so i was sleeeeeping. . . although i woke up when they made so much noise leaving. . .

kidaro on Nov 24 '06 at 10:56pm

One time around mid-december, I sat down in a mall and just watched all the stressed christmas shoppers. That made me feel good, and then guilty for feeling good about other people's misery, the evil smile on my face waning.

AsStarsGoOut on Nov 24 '06 at 10:57pm

haha i bet that was fun!

my friend started her job at the mall today. . .like actually started, she had been training all week, and they started her on black friday.

pinkelephants on Nov 24 '06 at 11:32pm

I'm crazy. I camped out at Circuit City. I love doing that kind of stuff. Bonding with the people around you, and then fighting for all the good stuff. There was a very drunk man that kept us entertained all night, and I threatened to kick about 8 people. And I got the prettiest digital camera I've ever seen. I'm in lust with it.

stevethenotsogreat on Nov 24 '06 at 11:33pm

i got up at 10, went to best buy and bought some stuff for my sisters, had a golf ball destroy a window in our house, then ive been watching south park all day.

the end.

d3d on Nov 24 '06 at 11:34pm

how was that Black Friday? isn't black friday any Friday that falls on the 13th?

ir0cko on Nov 24 '06 at 11:35pm

i got to circuit city at 5.20 am. so packed!

They Call Me Special K on Nov 24 '06 at 11:36pm

nope i did not but i plan on purchasing an xbox 360 tomorrow if i can still find one.

pinkelephants on Nov 24 '06 at 11:38pm

The line was around 500+ people long at the circuit city I was at. It wrapped all around the parking lot. It was insane. My brother and I were around the 20th people in line.

Khol on Nov 24 '06 at 11:38pm

so, stevethenotsogreat is kayceislost?

fake accounts confuse me

ir0cko on Nov 24 '06 at 11:39pm

what did you buy, lindsey

pinkelephants on Nov 24 '06 at 11:48pm

I got this:

only it's red

Westwood on Nov 24 '06 at 11:50pm

d3d black friday is the day after thanksgiving when all the stores have huge sales, and people go INSANE. Little old grannies will push you out of the way to get to that toaster before you.

lemonalle on Nov 24 '06 at 11:52pm

i went to costco. they had lots of free samples of candy and stuff. then i went to hamden which wasn't really that crowded.

ir0cko on Nov 24 '06 at 11:53pm

ooh! i saw that camera. they also had it at target. i ended up grabbing a samsung camera. *shrugs*

Westwood on Nov 24 '06 at 11:54pm

I didn't go at all. My boyfriend was still up at 5:00 am so I told him he should go camp and get a Wii, but he went to bed instead.

pinkelephants on Nov 24 '06 at 11:56pm

If they sold the same models of cameras at all of them, then the samsung was really nice. At least the one that they were selling here was.

We also bought a crapton of DVDs. We seriously went psycho on those bins asses.

ir0cko on Nov 24 '06 at 11:57pm

was it this one? it was cheap and better than the camera i have now

here it is

xiv on Nov 24 '06 at 11:59pm

some little kid kicked me and took a shrek toy from my cart at target. and then some dick bag started talking shit out in the parking lot, because he assumed i was "checkin' out his lady"....
