Yeah I was dragged into it. My mom persuaded me to go
to the after Thanksgiving sales with her at the butt crack of dawn. She
got me and my sister up around 4 AM. I basically rolled out of bed in
what I was wearing, put some shoes on and zombied my way to the car. We
went down to Centralia to my mom's second home...Walmart. We got there a
half an hour before 5 and had to wait in lines. The store had the stuff
wrapped up in black plastic so you couldn't see what the pile of stuff
was. They also had it taped off so you could not wait in the
aisles. So me and my sister waited in the electronics and watched part of
Ice Age 2 for the time being. I kind of want to watch the whole thing
now. Anywho, as it got closer to 5, they started unwrapping the
stuff. As 5 approached the frenzy began. Erika went and got the
thing mom wanted and as she was getting it, some lady jumped on her and broke
her sandal, Erika was mad. I had no idea where mom went, she got lost in
the sea of people. A couple minutes later some guy yelled..."you all
should be ashamed of yourselves" everyone looked at him...he
continued with "you all are bastards!" I just laughed at him
because he was carrying around a whole arm load of stuff. Telling people
they are bastards when he is one himself. What a moron. I've only
participated in Black Friday three times in my life and this has been the most
insane one I have ever witnessed. People shoving, grabbing, yelling,
arguing, blocking the aisles with their grocery carts, flooding the
walkways...crazy stuff. I basically went just to see how crazy people are
and believe me, it was entertaining. I wish I would have brought my
camera.
