Default Do you dare to go out on "Black Friday"?

I made that mistake one year and completely forgot what day it was until I hit the store. OMG, I won't make that mistake again! I couldn't believe the people that were there, you could hardly move. I think they would have to be giving things away before you get me back out on that day.

Absolutely not! Don't want anything to do with holiday shopping, can't stand the crowds the way they are now, let alone the additional greedy vultures that arise after Thanksgiving.

No sale is good enough to mix with those black Friday animals. I'll take my chances with the bears, cats and wolves first. Son in Law is a big man, 6'3", 230 lbs, interagency swat team, underwater diver, sheriff deputy and was literally knocked down by a couple of women after a special black friday deal on a laptop at wally world a few years ago. But he hung on to the lap top.

The only black friday sale I partake in is the online type. No way I'd get out and fight the crowds just to save a couple bucks.

I always have to work the Friday after Thanksgiving and that is fine with me. Wouldn't go shopping that day for any amount of savings. Also as much as I hate going there went in the local Wall World today. Wonder who the smart ass was that decided that all the stores needed to start playing Christmas Carols already. That bastard should be chained to a Douglas Fir and not let less until Christmas Morning.

Absolutely not! After the guy at Wal-Mart got trampled to death by shoppers, I have vowed never to even try it. I haven't been out in it before anyway because I can't stand that many people in contact with my person.

No way would you catch me out in that crowd. People are just plumb crazy on that day. I'll watch it on the news thank you. I don't think I would even go out if they were giving it all away.

Absolutely no way would you get me out shopping on that day! I hate to go when there are just normal 'crowds' much less a 'mob'. I just can't believe how some of them act either. It's just plain crazy.
