Black Friday is making people insane

This is actually the basis of merchandising. Sale items draw people in, and they buy extra things at retail. Walmart and other Black Friday participants have escalated it to dangerous extremes.

The people that do this stuff enjoy it. It's like competitive shopping or something.

I figure they're the same people who want to bicker all day, using eBay's make an offer feature. You say 33 buy it now, they offer 20 you can buy with 30 they offer 21 and so on and so on until finally you either give in or they buy it for 33, then they claim something is wrong with it with it after they get it: "I want a partial refund of $13." You say send it back and I'll give you a *whole* refund and they say I'll just keep it.

I don't even pretend to understand them, because they spend so much time fighting over price, that they could make that much money with that time and then some.

Same here. I made my husband hit up the grocery store at 11PM Wednesday night because I was too scared to go with my kids that day. We just needed two things. It was packed. 11PM! people are nuts.

This world is seriously so messed up.

This video has already been removed from YouTube. It was a very good video.

Parking space revenge.

Planned, coordinated conditioning.

They should call it insane Friday.

I don't think so. I think these people are already insane. Black Friday only highlights it for the rest of us to see.

Yeah. Here's a meme to show how good it was...

Dang... and that idiot totally missed an open parking space. All he had to do was move the shopping cart out of the way and he could park there easily. The parking space is on the right side of the video. An easily rectified situation provided the driver of the Jeep had an IQ above 2.

Also this does explain why I've seen various vehicles in similar positions "parked" in various parking lots over the last two or so years now.

The grand solar minimum makes people go insane and we're not even fully there yet. We've been slowly slipping into it over the past decade or so, just wait until we're fully in it by 2020 with a full blown ice age to boot. Things are gonna be way beyond cray cray...

It's hard to argue with the fact at least with American society everything's falling apart so fricken fast it's unbelievable. I'm not sure about the ice age/mini-ice age thing due to geoengineering/chemtrail/HAARP usage.

That blurring on either side...

Celebrate Festivus and air your grievances with family and friends. No need for shopping.

Making America Great ... throwing down punches and shots over meaningless trinkets and baubles

If and when I go to a big asshole retail store, I always park far away from the entrance, just in case I have to book it in an emergency. I don't like when I see fat fucks or young people pricks use their relative's handicap placard just to not walk a FEW more yards to the damn store.

Nope. The majority are already insane. Black Friday merely highlights this.

Ha ha. Love how in the middle of all that hard work another space became free.

A Festivus for the rest of us!

It's called being precautionative, it's what smart people do. Hell, I always park far as fuck away from other people if I'm able to, mostly because I hate getting my car ruined by idiots parking too close and then having their kids slam doors into my vehicle.

Exactly this!

Yeah. I've learned years ago to start parking a fair distance away from the stores I shop at and for virtually identical reasons, tray ding. I also generally don't mind walking more since it's good exercise.

Yeah the exercise bit is another good reason. If people were to take a few extra steps here and there on the daily it ads up to probably losing a few pounds a month. Like taking the stairs rather than waiting for two-three minutes to get into a crowded ass elevator that might anyway get stuck in a shtf scenario. Really happy to be able bodied in that way.

Yep. Disabilities are lauded as a great way to live these days, but I hate being disabled. I hate being so limited in many ways, but long as I still have my mind I refuse to give up. Healthy exercise is good and great for one's mental, emotional, and physical health.

I know years ago I used to take long walks especially whenever I got upset or worse so from my two former best friends and roommates those long walks were fantastic for clearing my head, and feeling better health wise in general.

Walking is awesome. Many people seem to be sleeping on it though. Like you mention it helps to clear ones mind as well. IME the best thing to do is choose a route with as little traffic as possible, preferably somewhere in nature and ideally high altitude.

Oldie but goldie

Black Friday, sounds like it should be the beginning of a reign of murders by a serial killer. Yes.

Finally, the insanity is over. Til next time.
