gcurdinc112 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Exactly 4 weeks until Thanksgiving! This will only be my second black friday this year. But I know enough about it to know that there are certain things that happen on bf that are generally unacceptable, strange or over-the-top on a regualr day of shopping, but because it's black friday people overlook some of these things. Everything is just different about that day, the way people act, shopping methods, excitement, the feeling of the people, even driving patterns change. Share the differences you notice on bf. So let me start off. Black Friday isn't black Friday without waiting more than 15 minutes to get a parking space at the mall, then only to have someone swoop in out of nowhere and take the parking spot. Your turn:D
Brad Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Black Friday isn't Black Friday without people (who are the nicest people 364 days out of the year) fighting complete strangers for the last crappy $19.99 DVD player :)

hawkadoo1 Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Black Friday, wouldn't be black friday without the day before getting everything ready. I get my ads and credit cards, my layers and layers of clothes (It's cold in the great state of Connecticut) The night before. I have Thanksgiving at my house but I get The BF high to give my the energy to shop.I was born and raised in Brooklyn NY, so I think everyone is okay on the lines. Lisa
