Does anybody else think that this is crazy? I don't know about you, but the thought of going to a shopping mall and fighting with 75,000 people for 20% off at the GAP just makes my stomach turn. I was watching something on CNN this morning and they were showing footage of people literally FIGHTING over clothes and items at a store. I don't mean arguing; they were literally beating the hell out of each other.
I learned my lesson last year. I had three guests in from Japan and they REALLY wanted to see what all the hoopla was about. So, we went shopping.It reminded me of being trapped in a subway car at rush hour in Tokyo.It was the last time I'll EVER go out on Black Friday. Let's just leave it at that (as for my friends, they're used to giant, absurd crowds ((albeit, better mannered crowds)) so they had a great time.)
Anybody else braving the crowds? Anybody else enjoy the fight, viewing it as some sort of latent berzerking-type ritual seeded deep in the Anglo-saxon psyche?
I'm staying home.
