nothing like reading and hearing stories of angry shoppers. The day after Thanksgiving is the best time to stay away from stores. Unless you like long lines, short tempers and walking a marathon-type distance from your parking space to the front door. The masses believe that if they wake up at 4am on that friday, that they will beat the odds and save tons of cash in getting their christmas presents at the crack of dawn. Then there are those stupid people who believe that this day is the only day they will get bargains for useless stuff to clutter the house.
No thank you says I. This year I was content to chill at home. People in a toys r' us in New York got subjected to a paperspraying incident. Only because the consumers once again get outta hand. I'll soon be a parent (no the twins haven't come yet) and I cringe thinking of having to defend my kids from "normal" people turn crazy when they enter shopping mode. And I don't want to even imagine what the Pinellas Park Wal-mart was like this year.
