Oh, that is so wrong! :D I hate it because I didn't think of it first...

As for Black Friday, I did not partake - went to the Auto Show in SF and tooled around. OK, I take that back - I did go to Office Depot to buy printer cartridges because I was out (which is a good thing, because printer cartridges are right behind steak knives as the Worst Christmas Gift in the History of Ever)
 
Did you see this stupidity yet........
 
I would love it if someone purchased printer cartridges for me. Those things are expensive!

All over a phone, seriously, is it that important to you?
 
I had to turn it off after 0:37. Faith in humanity: Lost. So, I'll put this out to the more *ahem* mature members of the board: Was it always like this and we're just more aware of it now? See, I remember feeding frenzies over the "it" toy (Elmo, Cabbage Patch Kids, Wii, etc....) but this catastrophic failure of civility and decorum seems to be a product of the past five years...

Oh, as do I. The only thing that saves me is that these are for work, so I get to write them off as a business expense - otherwise, there's $80 out of pocket.

...oh, and dig this: Office Depot was open at 5am, according to their sign. I saw that and thought it was a joke, right? No - I had to wait in line for 10 mins to pay for my purchase. Never knew that office supplies were so popular.
 
That's cra-a-zy! My sister does that stuff after every Thanksgiving and Christmas. She gets up way early, hits all the stores she's pre-scoped, and stands in tons of lines, all day long. Ugh. Not me.
 
I bought a coat for my son online, half price at rei just for black friday. first black friday purchase in forever. he needed it and the rei coats are pretty nice. Still pricey at 50% off, but i was willing.
online is how i shop most of the time.
oh, we also went to a nice late lunch with a friend i rarely see. we bought spices and flat breads at an east african owned food store across from the restaurant. no waiting in line.

DH and I went to Staples at 11:45 and picked up a 16 GB thumb drive for something like $10. That was our only black Friday purchase.
We did notice, however, an ad for CVS, which is a drug store if you're not familiar with it. For less than $50 you could get a surround sound system, a DVD player, and a theater-style popcorn popper.
Just yikes.
