II regularly participate in the insanity but I was completely broke this year and now I have to work triple shifts to pay back my boss.he's usually pretty cool so he lent me a little bit of money. like around $70,000.00 no big deal.
given a choice, I'd avoid the crowds just due to the traffic. This year I participated though, despite previously refusing to. Was worth it though, got to watch a grandmother punch one of my roommates in the chest because he grabbed the DVD box set that she wanted just a second before she did. I had thought that sort of shit only happened on TV shows.
Honestly, there aren't a lot of things that I want that would make me go out on Black Friday, but it's still something I might consider taking part in, only because it would be kind of cool to be part of a mob that tramples someone to death.
