I personally didn't, after working all week and having a 4 day weekend now I just wanted to sleep in. For the past few years I have gone out on Black Friday and everytime it was nuts. One year my friends and I went to Comp USA and nearly got trampled on, I bought nothing as I was in disgust with everyone there (wanted to go back next year and hand out "Thanks for being an idiot" flyer's as people left the store,lol). Last year I went to Circuit City and the line must of been comprised of 300-500 people, maybe more. I spent an hour and half in line for 7 cheap DVD's.....I've never watched them. I also remember going to Best Buy and seeing the people just wrap aroundthe store, all I wanted was BF2142 for $25, right then I realized "I'm not wasting anymore of my time". Overall I've bought a lot of stuff this year and just completed a home theater project, I had to say to myself "Just how much can people buy and what will they do to save $5....run over people"?.

What about you, did you go out for Black Friday or stay in?

Also does anyone have any Black Friday stories involving crazy shoppers that they would like to share?

Sorry but I went shopping. Left home at 9:30am and still got everything I wanted. That 5am stuff is if you're looking to get laptops, computers, GPS, and tvs for good deals.

i didn't, but my mom and my aunt's went at like 6:45 to go shopping. but where we live, you need to travel like an hour and a half to get to Target, Walmart, or stores like that. otherwise i bet i would have gone shopping today.

I usually shop online because the stores where I live never have what I'm looking for.

I didn't. Mostly because I think it's dumb that people would get up before the crack of dawn just to get something for $10 cheaper than it was the day before. :|

Do to my intense dislike of crowds, no I won't be doing any shopping whatsoever today... I've never been to a store/mall on Black Friday.

Well since all the stores opened at 5am, and it's 1pm right now, I'm kind of in doubt that they're gonna have anything left (on top of that the huge-ass line), so I guess I'm f***ed and I'll have to wait until next year.

I didn't want to wait in line for so long, but I did purchase some dvds, a 2GB SD card, and an external HDD through Black Friday online deals so I'm satisfied
