Why Black Friday is ridiculous…

I just want to talk about why black Friday is ridiculous!
Black Friday is ridiculous for a whole host of reasons. I’ve always thought it was fun to go shopping on Black Friday. Yeah, I’ve snagged some good deals, and for me, it’s fun to wake up early and shop with my mom or a group of friends. HOWEVER, my favorite part of Black Friday shopping (aside from cinnamon raisin biscuits from the local diner we always go to on Black Friday morning!) is the hilariousness of the way people act about getting what they came for!

Black Friday is ridiculous on SO many levels…
Like I said before, I’m out there with the masses on Black Friday, so I can’t really judge, but my biggest love for Black Friday is in the craziness of the masses! 
Black Friday is ridiculous for the lines, the fighting, the bickering, the arguing with the cashier, the price matching, the brawling over a Cabbage Patch doll, the running, the pushing. People act like nursery school children on Black Friday trying to get what they want. WAHH! 
Last year, I held my mom’s place in line at our first stop b/c the line is notoriously long and she only needed one thing (Black Friday rule breaking offense #1 I’m sure…so sue me). I saw, in my 15 minute wait before my mom found me:
- crying children (at 3am)
- crying adults (b/c they didn’t get that GPS)
- a college girl push an elderly man (who’s elbow I caught just as he almost took a nose dive)
- a manager roll her eyes at someone who asked if this is where the line ends
- and more…
Black Friday is ridiculous, and it gets more ridiculous every year!
Every year, the madness starts earlier. And here’s the thing, is it REALLY worth it to brave the masses, the idiots, and the cold, early morning to save a few bucks? If you’re that hard up for money, it’s probably b/c you’re working a J.O.B (Just Over Broke). You don’t have to be broke, just click here and get your head outta the mindset that you have to have a job to be successful. You have to be motivated to be successful-thats all.
Braving Black Friday is Ridiculous. Buying into the hype is ridiculous. Pay attention year round, and you’ll more than likely find better deals. Plan a little better. You don’t HAVE to shop on Black Friday….unless you just want to b/c it’s so stinking funny to watch
