am i the only one

Original post by TommysWife08

who would rather rip their eyeballs out and pour vinegar in the sockets then go shopping on black friday??? lol

WELL maybe thats too much but you really could not pay me enough to go shopping on black friday... i get frustrated just driving through a parking lot dealing with ppl who cant drive... i could NOT imagine the crowds, lines, rude people, people who dont know their head from their asss who will be out that day!!!!!

i'm getting all worked up over it and i'm not even going shopping that day lol

absolutely..black friday is a waste of my time..Why would I want to wait in lines, deal with rude people and hang out in big crowds who literally knock you over..I could have more fun sitting in a dark room staring at the ceiling!!!

black friday makes me angry
i cant explain it - but even talking about it makes me want to rip out my hair. . . i think it is ridiculous and a little bit disgusting

i honestly feel like to some people it is more important than thanksgiving and christmas combined and it makes me mad,

ok vent over.

I know exactly what you are saying and I agree with you..its almost like christmas is equated with gifts..its not about that and its pathetic how materialistic this society really is...

Ive never even gone shopping on Black Friday once
I cant stand holiday lines as it is. I love to shop but HATE the lines and rude people, I dread it. I cant even imagine going on black friday when the world is out



UGG i totally feel the same way!!!

i am not a very patient person when it comes to ppl who cant drive or rude people - esp in retail stores!!!!!!




I totally agree - boo to bad drivers, rude holiday help and obnoxious shoppers. It always puts a damper on my happy holiday shopping

Me too. Last year I actually got great Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving evening just online shopping and I even got free shipping.
DH and I bought our TV for the bedroom and some other things for the house at Best Buy.com

This year we don't need much and we plan on gifting gift cards and framed and enlarged wedding photos for our immediate family. Simple and easy is my Christmas theme this year.

I dont like Black Friday but its always been a tradition in my family that we got to the mall for alittle bit. Last year I actually went wedding dress shopping with my sister on black friday...that was fun.

Anyway - I curse myself every year I do it, but I do get joy out of it (somehow).

ITA!

think about it - if you have major tooth stuff done, you get fun pain killer meds to relax with & if you are just going for a cleaning, you walk away with freshly cleaned teeth!!! its a win win!

WAYYYY better than black friday shopping!!!

Right now its annoying when I eat bc on one side they extracted a tooth and have no tooth lol so feels weird, but then on the other side i also have a huge hole in my tooth. Its like i cant even really eat lol

you sound just like my DH everytime i come home from the dentist he will ask 'so did they give you vicodin?' but no i was given ibuprofen 800mg which is great and i used it when i had my tooth extracted and worked.

Dh told me to ask for vicodin and I yelled at him bc vicodin makes me sick and i cant take it and he knows this lol. And i tell him that if i get a prescription for vicodin then i wont have any other pain meds to take and i will be stuck with something i cant take, when its better that i was given ibuprofen 800mg since it doesnt make me sick and i can actually take it for when i am in pain. Do you think he understands after i said all that? no of course not

yeah when i had my wisdom teeth pulled, the ONLY thing that got rid of the pain was vicodin, but it did make me sick if i didnt drink milk with it

it makes me sick, gives me the worst stomach pains and also i start itching real bad, like it wont stop and i cant take it. DH said its bc my body is trying to reject it.

Vicodin is like gold! If you really need to take it and it bothers your stomach, try taking it with a glass of milk. I've always gotten that way with antiobiotics. I think the itching is a pretty normal side effect...I don't know why though. Sometimes when I've taken it, I'll be like 'OMG, why am I so freakin' itchy!', forgetting I took it. When you're in a lot of pain, they're a beautiful thing!

Oh, and to the original post...I don't want to be anywhere near a mall on Friday! I did it a few years in a row years ago (get there when the stores open)...wasn't worth it to me the last year I did it. I'd much rather sleep late. Are they opening up stores in the middle of the night again? It gets earlier and earlier every year.

Re: am i the only one

I usually worked on balck friday.

This year I hope to start decorating and possibly go out.

Me and the girls went out to Port Jeff last year for a fun night out and I'd love to make that a tradition!

Shopping I have been doing from the comfort of my home while in my PJs and drinking a nice cup a coffee... perfection.

Re: am i the only one

I worked retail for the past 4 years and this is the first year I won't be working. I usually gave myself an hour and a half to get to the mall when I live 20 minutes away. It's crazy. Usually I would work the night shift which was actually not bad because everyone gets out in the morning and no one's really around at night. I have to say though, shoppers are no worse than they normally are throughout the holiday season. The meanest people are the people who shop on December 23rd! I am not going anywhere near a mall this Friday or unless it's a weeknight from now until the end of the year.

I love Vicodin, it's a dream come true. I still have some from a couple of years ago and I can't bear to part with it lol!!!! That's a good tip to take it with milk if it makes you itchy, I never noticed that it made me itchy but I will remember this tip Thanks for sharing!!!
As far as Black Friday I'd rather shoot myself than risk kiling someone else who cut me off or cut me in line or was rude in a store just to save a little bit of $$...wearing orange for the rest of my life just isn't worth the money saved

Oh, I recommended taking it with milk to help her stomach. Unfortunately, I don't know of anything that helps with the itching...ha. If I'm in a lot of pain, I'll deal with the itching...ha.
