Black Friday 2014 is approaching, and while I don't even think about standing in line at a store any more, there are usually some good deals to be found online.
If your feet aren't bleeding and you are aren't freezing outside a mall and you haven't had something ripped out of your hands, it's not really Black Friday shopping
None of that for me... crooks hips mean I'm not on my feet long enough for them to bleed; I don't feel the cold that much; if somebody ripped something out of my hands I'd snap them off at the knees and take it back after a few well placed kicks to the groin, etc. I hate rude shoppers almost as much as I hate bankers.
This one time, when I was a single dad with 2 small kids, this woman tried to snatch a packet of disposable nappies that was on sale out of my hands... yeah, right. We jostled over it for a while and when I felt her pulling harder I just let go, she fell flat on her arse and lost her grip on the packet. I then went over, picked it up and proceeded to the checkout.
Another time a woman rammed me with her shopping trolley and demanded I hand over the last remaining tin of coffee that was on sale for half price. I refused so she tried to rammed me again, so I sidestepped and she knocked over an end display of peaches in jars, leaving her with a rather large bill for the damage. So really, it doesn't pay to be rude, arrogant or unreasonably demanding whilst out shopping... especially not with a grumpy old starkers who's been on his feet way too long in the supermarket.
One thing I wouldn't mind coming way down in price on Black Friday [yes, we get it here in Oz, too] is a HP 23" touchscreen monitor. I had a play with one in Officeworks and quite liked it, being very responsive and appealing to the eye as well. It also has built-in sound that's quite reasonable as well, given the size of the speakers. It was $350 at the time, but if I could snap one up for around $270ish or less I'd be rather tempted.
Oh well. [e digicons]:'([/e]
