Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving here in the US, big shopping day. The stores have all kinds of huge sales with great prices. And people go nuts, waiting in long lines for hours for one item, getting into fights over what they want. It's considered a kickoff to the Christmas shopping season, and retail takes in a lot of money. It has gotten ridiculous. People steal things out of others' shopping carts, and they have trampled each other trying to be the first to get that must-have item. It's crazy.

It sounds a bit like the cartoon wacky races - I don't know if you remember that so I have posted
the link below. Actually now I have watched it, I pretty sure wacky races most have been based on the USA Black Friday!

Black Friday.
Thoughts?
To answer the OP (after 11 years) no, i don't stand in line in the freezing cold so i can get a videogame or some gadget on sale.
I did once, about 20 years ago when i was trying to buy a whole set of kitchen appliances and i found out that none of them were in any type of significant sale.
So after feeling like a fool for a few minutes, i then went home, had some hot chocolate and never did any type of black friday sales and standing in line.

I have no interest in black friday sales. I've had too many friends with laptops they bought at black friday sales, wanting me to fix them when they break. I have to tell them all the same thing: "Sorry, that thing is junk. No way I can fix it."
Oh well. They spent a good three months (average) thinking they got a good deal before it was all ruined.

My kids are all grown up now so no need to shop on Black Friday. Also, it's no longer what it used to be. It used to be the lowest prices of the year now it's just another sale. Back in the day I did a lot of Black Friday shopping. I'm not above suffering a little to pay less for something I'd buy anyway. One year I bought 3 or 4 laptops for the kids. Not a one of them ever had a problem, they eventually were retired from old age.
