That was me a few years ago, KSU, over a effing Zhu zhu pet. I had a panic attack while in toys r us, said fuck it and left after waiting in line for 5 hours, they were out of zhu zhu pets anyway.

I'm never going for one special deal. In fact, it isn't about saving money to me. It's the energetic, cheerful, excited feeling throughout the stores. I've not had a negative experience and I've certainly never stood in line for 5 hours. I wouldn't do it if that was the case. It's also about getting all my Christmas shopping done in 4 or 5 hours when I have a day off instead of trying to get to all those different stores over the course of weeks when I have work, homework, kids' school activities, meetings, etc. One day, 4-5 hours and I'm finished. Last year, the Kohl's line looked ridiculous but it went so fast because every register was open. I've waited longer in there when I accidentally went in on Wednesday night (senior citizen night).
Ditto with Bath & Body works. Their lines were so organized that it went really really fast. I spent most of my time at the mall last year sitting and watching a radio show and ended up winning two gift cards from them. Cool deal for me

Two things I hate most -- shopping, and crowds.
My family has done our Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday for several years now -- due to a sibling who always had to work on Thanksgiving. Even so, I've never seen a BF deal I couldn't pass up.
Give me a few websites and I'm a happy camper.

Is it bad that whenever I see this thread I think of the song 'Friday'?

Not as bad as thinking about Lil Kim when you see it.

There is absolutely nothing that I want badly enough to join in that insanity.
I spend the day at home, putting away my Thanksgiving tableware and linens and fall knicknacks I always set out, and getting out my Christmas stuff. It's just too insane to do any shopping, and who wants to sit outside Best Buy for a week to buy a $200 Sharp 42" LCD? When the store probably has ten on hand and you would be killed trying to grab one?
Not me.

Personally, I would much rather work or shop at 9 or 10 on Thanksgiving evening than be dragged out of bed at 4 or 5 AM the next morning.

Ditto.

One day, "Rebecca Black Friday" is going to be a Wheel of Fortune answer and this commercial will be to blame. 
I saw that commercial tonight. I covered my ears.

My thing with Black Friday is that 99% of the time (unless it's a laptop or something) the thing you want will be 50% off the day after Christmas anyway.
Ex: That sweater you just threatened to cut someone over in Target for $12.99 will be $5 on 12/26.

21 years ago, I went down to my local Walmart at 6am on Black Friday. I walked right in and picked up the item I wanted and checked out without any line. Very few people were there. Prior to that year stores open at 9AM. Now it has become a monster and I foresee Liability Insurance companies putting an end to the practice.
