Is anyone braving this crazy day? I'm doing my shopping online.

I've always thought that people who shop on Black Friday are nuts. But more power to 'em if they can handle crowds like that. I'd have a panic attack.

Yeah, I did it last year and plan on it again this time.

I usually go to Costco for Black Friday for DVDs/Blu-rays/Video Games and looking into things like tvs and computers/laptops.

Last year I got a new HP computer w/ 20 inch HD monitor from them on Black Friday, they have pretty sweet deals.

However, I'm not one of those people who camp outside the store for weeks.

No, I can't handle large crowds like that. I, too, will shop online.

Looking at the pictures I posted almost gives me a panic attack, lol.

treky · 11-24-2011, 01:49 AM

yea, me too Janice!

but NO WAY IN **** would I go out-I'm also doing my shopping online. (which I do every year anyway)

catlover79 · 11-24-2011, 01:55 AM

At no time on Friday am I going anywhere near ANY store!!!

Miss Lisa · 11-24-2011, 11:29 AM

I'm going out this year. My daddy, sis and I are going to Best Buy at ten to wait for it to open at midnight and then going over to Target and then Menards. We will then stop for breakfast, come home take a nap and go back out to Kohls and Sears.

Jw, you know which city those pics are from? I live in Toledo, are crowds are bad, but never that bad. However, if they looked like those pictures I might second think going out tonight lol.

I'm that poor employee who *is* working Black Friday.

This is my 5th Black Friday in retail, but the very first one where I'll finally be working among the mob on the sales floor... I'll be one of the two people manning the queue at my store for the PS3.

I have to go in to work at 8pm tonight, because we start selling some of the Black Friday stuff at 10pm (seriously?). So, yeah. If you know the company I work at (as per my FB), wish me luck!

Oh, and this is my first Black Friday NOT at my home store. First Black Friday in a strange town. I've got everything working for me.

I wish you the best of luck. I like Black Friday too but I think opening at 10 pm tonight is a bit much. You can open at 6 or 7 am tomorrow morning and its still the same. I wouldnt worry because I dont think that opening at 10 pm will last long because I do know a lot of people are up in arms about working tonight.

As far as getting panic attacks, I think those "Commericals"[B][/B] that they've shown 100 times would give me one. Those ones promoting the "Black Friday" sales. How many times do I have to see the woman prepearing for "Black Friday" by getting excited and reading the ads? I dont know if it was for Kohl's or Sears or whatever. I know it was for one of those stores.

It's doesn't seem to make sense, but some people actually like crowds. No, I am not one of them.

Same. Last year I got such great Black Friday deals online. Even if I didn't, I would pay full price any day over fighting the obnoxious crowds.
