noMy first thanksgiving in the u.s. in 19 years and this black Friday hoopla is nuts. Are things that much cheaper that people really need to line up outside stores in 10 degree weather at 6 a.m.?
No. Not even close!My first thanksgiving in the u.s. in 19 years and this black Friday hoopla is nuts. Are things that much cheaper that people really need to line up outside stores in 10 degree weather at 6 a.m.?
Deals are good but You can get them online. I know some people who like to make a day out of it as a social event. My cousin likes to go just to watch the carnage.My first thanksgiving in the u.s. in 19 years and this black Friday hoopla is nuts.

I usually try to stay home on Black Friday but today, breaking with that tradition, I came to the NJ DMV to change my PA license to a NJ license. I was hoping the Black Friday hoopla would make it less busy - I couldn’t have been more wrong.
I’ve only dealt with NJ, CT, and PA DMVs. The PA system is so much easier. Efficient. You can get in and out pretty quickly.
CT and NJ are slow and cumbersome. At least the employees I’ve encountered today have been pleasant.
Wish me luck!
Omg, that’s insane. I won’t lie that I’m close to needing a new car and I think I might buy sooner than I planned because I don’t want to deal with getting it registered on my own! I’m here for the next 5 years so I have to switch it.I used to live in California and went to the DMV to get California plates/license. First time I went, there were hundreds of people lined out the door so I just assumed it was a bad time to go - but no, each time I went it was the same. Eventually I said forget it and just kept my CT license and plates for the 4 years I was out there.
I don’t understand how some people think this is fun... I guess it takes all types to make the world go around.Deals are good but You can get them online. I know some people who like to make a day out of it as a social event. My cousin likes to go just to watch the carnage.
No it is not worth it and what is insane are people are trampled in these things, people bring guns and people have been shot before, fights break out...all around a disgusting event. Sadly it has made it's way to parts of Mexico, they have kind of a black week. Mostly with these events things are over priced a few weeks before the event and "marked down a lot" for the event to give the illusion of deep saving but...no. or a lot of older models are discounted.My first thanksgiving in the u.s. in 19 years and this black Friday hoopla is nuts.

My wife was great - she wanted to get the hair straightener and get out. As quickly as possible. We were there 10 minutes. Took her 2 min. to find the right straightener and 8 minutes in line. While in line we watched two women get into a shouting match over who was first in line and watched another woman spray perfume into her own eyes.
I swear to god - it's like watching natural selection in front of your eyes.

And that was at Sephora. Try being at Walmart.
