LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I saw a thread like this in Misc so why not here? Black Friday, American pseudo holiday where prices drop for a bunch of things and people go nuts.Though, not as bad as people imply in many places. And the prices are tricky because some are barely better than normal sales. however people enjoy this tradition so what do you think of the idea? Do you participate? What did you get? What about its sibling, Cyber Monday? I was working during it, and it was really busy. But luckily not as bad as expected. I didn't buy anything, except a $10 griddle on my lunch break but was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinny Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this have some dark story behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thar Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this have some dark story behind it? Not necessarily. "Black Friday" got it's name from the description of shopping traffic going "in the black", which is beyond "in the red." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't normally participate in Black Friday tbh. As I said in the misc thread, where I live, the shopping centre was practically busy when the stores opened, but it got busier around lunchtime.

Makο Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I was reading through that list that Dae provided, and I wonder how many of those were related to Black Friday at all. I bought a Gunpla. A Montero. Wasn't on sale or anything, just was out with family on that day and saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicmemesbro Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I would rather avoid the mayhem, but then again the madness could be interesting. I remember once some lady peppersprayed a bunch of people to get to an Xbox 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miror B Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 no. it is that bad. there is a site with a death count. which dae provided. A death count of 7. That starts from 2006. So in 9 years, 7 people have died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 A death count of 7. That starts from 2006. So in 9 years, 7 people have died.Let's narrow it down just a bit more (Even including honorable mentions). 2 people have died from shopping. 3 died in crashes. 6 died in either a homicide, suicide or a shooting. 11 dead, 2 related to shopping.

Flame Dragon Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't get the hype for Black Friday when Cyber Monday is just 100x more convenient with just as good deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Funnily enough, I got paid on Friday, but I'm not gonna bother spending until later on today ('tis Monday here at time of posting), because it's more convenient for me to do it online.

Dad Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 . . .but I'm black every Friday. I'll never understand why, the day after we gather with family and talk about how thankful we are to have what we have, and who we have, but the day after, we go and spend a funk ton of money to get more sheet. Not my thing, but okay America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
