I went Black Friday shopping for the second time this year, and I was finally able to experience some of the craziness that people talk about. A friend and I decided to help a relative get as many deals as possible, so we staked out the Leapsters, which is some kind of child computer game system. When we found the the display, women were crowding all around it. Some of them were nice, but many were clearly concentrating on how to grab as many of these things as possible.
As the clock got closer to midnight, the tension rose. My friend and I attempted to move closer to the display through the crowd, and the many of the women gave us dirty looks, and one even said to get back angrily. We ended up fighting the crowd of women to grab a couple of the item that we wanted, much the unhappiness of some of the women we took them from.
The rest of Black Friday went rather smoothly, and we were able to find plenty of deals. I was also able to pick up a few Christmas presents.
This sounds like it was entertaining!
