Any plans for Black Friday?

I doubt I'll do anything because I hate the day.....but Super Mario 3D Land for $15 at Target is VERY tempting

Staying home, that's for sure. My parents buy everything pretty much online for our Christmas so there's no need for Black Friday shopping.

 

Plus I don't feel like getting caught up in that crazyness.

Forget Halloween, this is truly the scariest day of the year. And you can forget about 4th of July, too. This is a holiday that upholds the greatest of American values -- competition, consumerism, self-indulgence, and making exploitative corporations rich. God bless this country. -_-

 

I just plan on sitting at home, watching the news while laughing at how stupid and violent people are getting and revelling in the great irony of the holiday season, how it's all about giving and yet people are falling over each other, injuring, and killing over it.

 

It really sucks that most of the movies and TV that try to satirize this aspect of the holiday season absolutely screw it up. -_- I really want to write something like that and do it right.

 

On the up side, I can start listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas specials. I'll pop in my DVD of The Polar Express in the meantime.

Pshh I don't think I've ever shopped on Black Friday... Since I don't usually shop . Are the savings /that/ big ?

Staying home. Don't want any of this happening to me:

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

I really wish someone would take different clips from Black Friday riots, mash them up together and play "Disturbed - Down With The Sickness." Everything aside from the child abuse segment is a near-perfect fit. Play the song (clean), close your eyes and imagine the riots happening as the song plays.

I might go if I had my own money, but for now, I prefer to stay in the safety of my home. You know, where I won't get trampled.

I plan on watching the animals come out from the wood works scrounging around for the best deals with one hand while beating others with their other hand. I love filming animals in their natural habitat.

Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) are overhyped. In all truth, businesses raise prices over the preceding weeks up to Black Friday, then slash the price to make it seem like you are getting a legit deal. There are real deal kickers in there though, to get the people to shop, but if you step back and look at what you are really getting, you wouldn't want to get it because it's not worth it (like cheap made flat screen tvs....killer deal but the tv itself does not last long compared to more quality tvs that wouldn't be on "sale"). 

Seriously, everything that is ever on "sale" on those two days you can and will find cheaper during other times of the year at other places, guaranteed. That is why I do my Christmas shopping in the spring/summer (post tax return season {when prices are also spiked} and prior to "back to school")....seriously everything I ever wanted at this time of the year, I have found cheaper by just waiting.

This is coming from someone who has ran a business, taking the market into account. Also I do a great deal of price comparing and online shopping.

On another note, i hate Black Friday because EVERYONE out becomes complete and utter morons. Greed destroys us all, and reading about the crap that happens every year just makes me want to avoid the human race all together during that unprecedented rat race. I try to stock up on food, make sure any and all errands are done and do everything possible to AVOID populated areas as well as in general not leave my home during that weekend. Sadly, I've worked in retail and fast food, and have worked on Black Friday, and believe me, I hate every moment I've worked during that time. Customers become very rude, and overtly demanding, and overall just plain mean....

 

I plan to just curl up with a good book, and ignore the mayhem going on across the country...and on monday, I plan to be on maybe MLPforums, youtube, and Crunchroll (anime fix)...nothing else, because my computer will slow down because of the online users

Black Friday? At this point it should be called Black Thursday with how early these things start now. 

 

My plans are to stay home. I don't like Black Friday. It's just people trampling each other for cheap goods hours after being thankful for what they already have.

[mars 4,862]

I've been going to Black Friday for seven years now and I've never been trampled/never saw a fight break out. The news always reports on the worst stuff, but it's a minority of cases really.

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

I do have some theories on why Black Friday keeps starting earlier and earlier every year. The first one is obviously caused by the stores getting too competitive with each other. The second reason is that maybe they think that starting earlier will lover the amount of people camping out overnight. But what they don't realize is people will just camp out earlier because people will do anything for low prices. Last year, I saw one store (I think it was Toys R Us) open at 6 on Thanksgiving. Sorry, but we can't go at that time because we're too busy actually having Thanksgiving dinner. Does anyone even care about this holiday anymore?

I will be either working or hanging at home. I do all my shopping online and for Christmas? 99 percent of the people I give presents to get 25-50 dollar Visa/Amazon gift cards. I am not very creative when it comes to thinking of presents so I'm just like "You know what you want, i don't here's money for you to buy that thing" 

[Larkybird~ 734]

Yeah. I've got plans. Sitting around playing video games. I don't do Black Friday. I don't have any money really ATM anyways so there'd be no point in it.

[Pon3 76]

absolutely nothing no joke

I wish all my gifts were like that.

 

Unfortunately most of them aren't so I end up having to return the gift and get store credit. Still sucks, but better than nothing.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

My plan is to survive my day at work while people be deranged assholes for supposed deals. Woohoo. 

[IcyHaze 594]

Doesn't exist in Ireland. I guess I'll be in college, as per usual

[Starflower 323]

I'm gonna be pulling an all-nighter by shopping at the mall around 2-3 am, then go back home to get ready to work on a special project at my job at 5 am, off at 10 am, and then sleep for the rest of the day. It's gonna be rough, but I'll manage. haha. 

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Theres a blender on sale that ive always wanted/...

[Celli 4,338]

I work at my local Wal-Mart Black Friday, and even if I didn't, it wouldn't be worth it to shop anywhere black friday. It's a stupid day to get people to over-spend and fight over items. Cyber-monday is a better option if you want to save a lot of money.

[Brony Number 42 10,069]

That will be the start of my days off. I might go see the crowds.

[Sir Hugsalot 9,348]

I will just enjoy YouTube videos of people acting like mindless animals in shops. 

 

I mean, some of them are just... why do some people turn into some kind of savages on that day in shops? Are they getting paid for it? Do they do it to shine on YouTube? For fun? Or are they just stupid? 

[Draxon 214]

Plan for Black Friday this year: avoid shopping at all costs and do some wall painting in my parents' house with my siblings.  Nowadays, I do the majority of my Christmas shopping online, but even if I went out to a store, going out on Black Friday is at the best frustrating and at the worst dangerous.
