sigrist_2000 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 i just stand there listening to what people are going to try and get. and if its something i am looking for i will try to follow them or go a different way. Sometimes i have conversations with people..or i should say people have conversations with me...and sometimes if we happen to meet again in the store we help each other out...i remember the tickle me elmo thing..they were on the top shelf, so i help get them down and gave them out...
Mommie2one Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I have never gone out on BF so this year will be a first. I will probably talk to other shoppers. I won't bring anything I don't think though
KBsDarling Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I knit or crochet. Sometimes read. Gab with the folks around if they look friendly LOL

KBsDarling Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 If i didnt take something to do I would end up asleep on the ground and get trampled when they opened the doors LOL

copados1993 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I love to listen to everyone else in line complain how cold they are, how tired they are and how they will beat everyone else to what they want!!!
VonnegutFan Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I usually bring a friend or two. We converse with others in-line, not unlike we do here. I usually go to BB, Target, etc so we discuss electronics.
BFQueenofNY Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 we discuss where Walmart will be putting their hot ticket items - ie: last year the $4.24 appliances were down the card and seasonal aisle rather than an endcap where you would look first
best4less Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Usually just talk to the other people in line.
ebony0421 Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I talk to hubby and the other folk in the line. I sometimes read or play Tetris. You'd be surprise how many people are just like us with a mapped out game plan. I am so ready.
SuperMommy Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Usually just talk to the other women I'm with.
Druid_GR Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Well, last year I started off thinking to myself "I can take that guy in front of me and move up a spot, then the next guy looks kinda easy also, but that old lady with the walker looks like she is packing mace or something and kinda cranky". Well, maybe I didnt think that, but I could have Actually I sat there 30 - 40 minutes going "Please dont have to pee, please dont have to pee" over and over. O, and talked to the few people around who werent in a runners starting position.

gitmogecko Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I always wait until the stores open to go in, but if I was waiting...I would be the one also doing the "pee" dance!!! LOL
Mike Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 In the past I had a gameboy (color, then advance) I think I would just sit there in the cold and converse with people. I wouldn't bring my lappy for fear of it becoming a hassle and holding on to it while waiting to purchase.
namelessloser Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 talk to people, play my gameboy, and sleep all in the time that I am there
biomajor Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I talk to people--I also talk to the people in the register line when I'm checking out--Heck I talk to people now and it's not BF-I always talk LOL
Mike Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I don't know if I could fall asleep. Just b/c im in a strange place, probably will have had a couple sodas and some coffee.
VonnegutFan Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I don't know if I could fall asleep. Just b/c im in a strange place, probably will have had a couple sodas and some coffee.Yes, a hot cup of coffee is a must. Preferably from Dunkin' Donuts :).
Mike Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Im not a fan of regular coffee. I prefer a sweeter white chocolate moca from starbucks.
Steakgoddess Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 CHat with the other people in line. Talk about what I want to buy

erh12275 Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I guess I am one of those people that "have conversations w/ you"...lol. I talk to everyone around me. Figure I might need their help later on...lol.
alimfp Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I talk to people if they look friendly. If not, I try to find a place to sit (this is why I wear jeans on this day.. they can withstand my sitting on the ground if needed). I usually just listen to others' conversations. :)
erh12275 Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I shiverI used to do that too..but only way it will happen this year is if I drop some of my ice outta my soda on me...lol.
shopping mom Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I usually talk to people. I love how excited people are over the gifts they are able to get and the money saved. It never hurts to make friends with the people in front of you either. Last year I wanted a Carebear from Wal-Mart. My new aquaintance grabbed me one when she got hers because it got a little crazy!1
