Sometimes. There usually isn't anything I really need that badly. After seeing two women get into a fist-fight at WalMart 2 years ago, I tend to avoid those sales now.

I sometimes go afterward and see if there's anything decent left.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

I'd like to experience it at least once during my life. :lol: I've never done it. Even if I had nothing special to buy, I want to see what really happens in the stores while I'm still snoozing away.

I go to the store later in the day if I need something. It's not a shopping day for me. I do like shopping though. :innocent:

Never go to the early bird specials, I like to sleep in... :P Sometimes I go shopping later in the day if I really have to get something, not because of the deals.

I just cant think of anything I want or need so badly that its worth facing the crowds to save a few bucks. BUT then again while I love to go shopping I rarely buy anything at any time of the year.

I never heard of it as "Black Friday" til this year. Anyway, I've discovered ONLINE Black Friday. I hate shopping, but it's a good day to buy my MacBook for 101 dollars off. Woohoo.

eta: To buy it at apple.com, NOT at the store. NO WAY are you getting me into a store today.

I really didn't think that really existed.

Has anyone ever seen that Simpsons episode where they make up a holiday only to lure people into buying stuff?

I am impressed and amazed by how that is just true.

I wanted to get a $250 laptop from BestBuy so I drove to 23rd and 6th at 4:30am

last night, thinking I would be the only person crazy enough to be there at 4am.

When I got there, I saw about a thousand people standing in line. Insane. I then

drove uptown to 86th and Lexington, hoping that all those bargain hunters from Brooklyn

and New Jersey wouldn't go that far. Same #######.

I gave up and went home. :(

Oh no...not me. I thought I had seen the worst of humanity when it comes to commercialism. Oh was I wrong! There is NO WAY in H*LL I'll ever do that again.

As far as shopping later in the day....NOPE. Still too scared to get out. It's still mayhem! :no:

Online shopping is the only shopping I'd do on Black Friday. ;)

Not only that, they were giving out tickets for the limited-quantity items like the Toshiba for $250, so you could wait in line for nothing.
