#2 I would have to pee as soon as I got into this line and for every 30 minutes after that due to being so anxious and nervous over losing my place in line if I step out of it to pee. Plus, I'd have only two options: that grassy hill or the behind the bumper of that white VW bug...or that tan SUV...or maybe by the shoes of the lady in the red sweatshirt...

#3 I don't need jeans that bad. Let these ladies have their pick of the Lee litter...and let that man in the orange hat have that turkey fryer to himself.

#4 I'd stand in that blasted line for HOURS, get my pinky toe crushed by a big, sweaty stranger and nearly die of thirst only to have that man hand the very last coveted flippin' Big Foot to the lady next to me.

#5 No, ma'am. I am not a fan of hyperventilation and I feel it coming on...right now...heeheeheeheehee...
#6 I enjoy it when my 2-year-old and 6-year-old sons cry and cry and wail and moan and cry and cry like newborns starved of milk when they realize the toy they've wanted their entire long, long lives could not be secured because I did not participate in Black Friday.

#8 I like to sleep.
Were you out there?
Tell us, tell us...what was it like?

I agree. I don;t care what kind of goods deals are out there, I refuse to act like a freakin' scavenger fighting for the last piece of meat on the carcass!
I think it's like hunting for women. Well, not hunting FOR women, but it equates to hunting. Men (some) like to hunt things they can shoot, women like to hunt for things (deals) they can pounce on.
I'm with you, I like to sleep.
Yes about the sleep. Yes.
Now if that ain't the best anti-Black Friday war cry I don't know what is.
I like to sleep as well.
OMG...#7 is me. We don't have Black Friday in Canada, but we do have a killer rummage sale once a year. Me and my friend get there early...we wait in line in the cold weather....we talk about all the stuff we are going to buy....then we race in and don't remember what precisely it was we wanted and slow down to a leisurely stroll. However, no matter how many times it happens we still get up early the next year, for the same thing!
Thanks for reminding me why I stayed home. But I probably won't see wife until midnight.
Cool blog...
Great list, Kelley. #1 and/or #8 never fail me on Black Friday, year after year. xoRobyn
I was very tempted to go out, but The Hubster was on call last night, so I couldn't. I like using that as an excuse, because I really do like my sleep. :D
My #1 Reason Why I avoid Black Friday- Shit costs money. Great post and you convinced me to stay sleeping. zzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Nope, I wasn't out there either. My sister in-law was. She went out at 9:00 pm last night and returned home at 5:00 am this morning. It was like an all-night shopping rave. I have it on good authority that she has a mild to moderate case of the crazies.
I like #1 and #8 but I did not have either last night, a 21 month old alligator/daughter made sleeping at the sisters difficult. Hope you and your sloth lovin family had a great Tgiving!
I do not NOT go out for Black Friday. Those people who stand in line at 4 in the morning are just plain nuts.
Lol what a great way to put it. The one time I did that madness I did have to pee, was starving, and dying of thirst like I was in the desert and not a line that wrapped around the store. It's just not worth saving $10 if you are so miserable you are willing to pay $20 for someone to hold your spot so you can pee.
I detailed list is essential to winning the Black Friday battle.
Oh Mah you are too hilarious. Is that an exact replica of your body on memory foam. Damn that shat is smart.
A fat lady once sat on me during a Foley's Red Apple Sale. I refuse to get involved in over the top sales.
Just looking at those pictures is making me extremely anxious. No. I was not there. It just ain't worth it. Internet shopping and the night of the 24th. That's usually when and where I purchase things.
I like to sleep and I HATE being around people. HATE it.
I watched it on the news. It looked crazy. One woman saved $400 (so she said). How the heck much did she spend???
Really laughing too hard! I will not ever do the INSANE black friday thing... ever.
I worked a 12 hour shift this Black Friday. I am roughly 5'4" & 118 pounds and my managers thought it would be awesome to put me in charge of the 9 varieties of big screen tvs and misc things like barbie jeeps and trampolines. it was not fun. i didnt see any fights and most people listened to me when i yelled at them but that was probably because i held the magic ticket they stood in line for 5+ hours for. i felt powerful.
I went strictly out of tradition, not for a ridiculous deals even though I bought some killer tops for near to nothing. The only line I stood in was a Kohl's and that was just to pay! An hour and half I'll never get back but it was with mom and my sister and no one fought so it was worth it ;)
I steered WAY clear of any shopping centers. I was at the water park. Stinking up the joint. I've done the 5am deals once in a while - but it's just not worth it to me.
I went shopping on Black Friday, but I refused to stand in any lines that were more than a few people deep. I went out for 2 hours (as long as I can hold my bladder) and then went back to bed.
LOL! I have the same reasons, although on my list the claustrophobia from crowds is probably #1. I'm a nutcase.

Comments make me feel like I'm not talking to the wall. Don't get me wrong. I love talking to walls. Some of my best friends are walls. Still, I like hearing from you, so thanks!
