People are so stupid. Black Friday is a great example of how stupid people really are. You hear the most ridiculous stories about people camping out, pushing and shoving, bringing their kids out in the middle of the night and for what? 20% off a TV that they don't really need? Why? Why, do people feel that they should camp out for days in front of a store to get $50 off a camera? Not only are they not working on those days but they are also neglecting the people they are buying the gifts for in the first place. Is it worth missing Thanksgiving with your family to camp in front of a store? You can sit in your nice cozy house in your pajamas and get the same deals online or maybe at the stores the weeks before Thanksgiving or after Christmas. Oh that's right, that would require some preplanning and we all know that Americans don't know how to do that.
I'm not saying I don't like a good deal. I am all about that. I'm just saying that time with family is worth more than any gift. Think of all the people who have to cut their Thanksgiving day short because they have to be at work at midnight. My brother works retail and they require all employees to work Black Friday. He lives too far away to drive to my parents house so he doesn't get to spend Thanksgiving with his family.
To all those shopping at 2AM Friday morning fun standing in lines in the cold next to all the other mothers who also didn't get enough sleep. You never hear about single people or guys doing something so silly. Look at the lady on the Target commercials, she is a middle aged weird mom. No wonder people get divorced I wouldn't want to be married to a hardcore Black Friday shopper either.
That is all.
