I think he had some twisted enjoyment of it when pressed. The sicko!

I saw someone online suggesting that the TV he saw in Curry's advertised as "£299, down from £499" was actually £300 about a month ago - ie; no reduction at all in reality.

I had a quick look at the laser printers last night. One of the HP multi function lasers on a black Friday offer was still more expensive than the standard price it was selling for on Amazon.

Yeeeah, and...?

You don't think they're actually going to discount stuff, do you?

It's just an opportunity to publicise price drops on old stock that have/were going to happen anyway, taking money from the current round of stupid people and making space for the stock to rip off the next round of stupids.

nope, not really, that's why I didn't bother with any of it

there was fighting in our local Tesco just after midnight on Friday morning

I can't think of anything Tesco sells that I would fight for

Yeah, I'm glad I did my shopping on Thursday, but likewise - there's not much I'd take even if they were giving it away.

Didn't realise it was a morning drink...?

When it comes to something like Black Friday I 'stay home' and stay safe. Those people are nuts, and sometimes violent!

Had a friend a few years ago who ended up with a broken jaw in Walmart. I told her to stay home. Now she does.

Wow, how did she get a broken jaw?

Was she punched? Or pushed over?

HA, shit! Not sure why I found this so funny.

I had to stay home this year.  Did I do a Black Friday thread one year with pictures and stuff?  I think I did and now I have to go look for it!

*Found it!  I went looking for the G+ posts as well but they must be buried or boring.

If you don't like donut, then leave it alone. Nobody force you to eat it.

Somebody in the crowd tripped her and she hit the floor, face first. Didn't even have a chance to catch herself, and her and her husband didn't even get to see who did it. Damn shame she's a real sweety.

I'm telling you, some people's kids just don't know how to act in public. No matter how old they are it seems.  (fail)
