Love it or hate it, Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Stores boast steals and deals that have people camping out in tents, waking up at the crack of dawn, or even getting into a fist fight over the last plasma screen TV. If you were one of the partially insane people who took on the massive crowds this year, these 50 thoughts definitely went through your mind.
-
I’m SO excited. So ready to score some great deals!
-
Am I a terrible person for shopping while all these people have to work on Thanksgiving?
-
Nah it’s fine, I’m totally helping to boost the economy or something like that.
-
I wonder if this year I’ll have to fight someone over a pair of heels like in all the movies.
-
There are people in tents. I repeat there are people in tents.
-
How long have they been here?
-
I don’t think I’d camp out in a tent for anything.
-
Ooh unless maybe for One Direction tickets. Yeah I’d definitely skip Thanksgiving and bum it in a tent for One Direction tickets. But a plasma TV? No way.
-
I will not hesitate pushing through a crowd of 13 year old girls to get the last $8 sweater dress at Forever 21.
-
Forever 21 looks like a complete disorganized mess, but to be honest it kind of looks like that every other day.
-
I should probably stock up on sweatpants because I no longer fit into anything else after all the mashed potatoes I ate today.
-
Oooooh Victoria’s Secret.
-
$70 for a bra is considered a sale?!
-
Maybe if I skip lunch for the next week I can get the new sparkly push up.
-
All these huge blown up pictures of flawless size 0 models is really making me regret the huge plate I ate today. And the second. And the third….
-
This girl is picking out lingerie as her grandma stands next to her. I have second hand embarrassment.
-
Where’s the nearest Dunkin?
-
How many turbo shots can I have in my expresso before my heart stops?
-
I can’t believe this is what my life has become.
-
Is it bad that I’ve already spent $20 on those big soft mall pretzels?
-
My feet are going to fall off.
-
I think this is what it feels like to die.
-
At least I’m probably burning off the three pieces of pumpkin pie I had, right?
-
Hopefully next year I’ll have a boyfriend to carry bags for me so I can buy more stuff.
-
Oh, and also so my relatives can stop asking me why I’m still single.
-
Why isn’t there a Black Friday deal on boyfriends for the holidays?
-
I should probably do some Christmas shopping while I’m here.
-
Will my mom be mad if I buy her a candle for the sixth year in a row?
-
Nah, moms love candles.
-
I have to pee but I can’t lose my spot in line.
-
Maybe I shouldn’t have had 4 glasses of champagne.
-
Why is this woman in front of me telling the cashier her life story. I’m sorry your son didn’t like your mashed potatoes but I’m just trying to buy this cute holiday sweater for my dog.
-
Why is it that whenever I have money I can find nothing I want, but when I don’t have money to spend I want everything?!
-
Oh an easy bake oven is on sale!
-
Can I use an easy bake oven in my dorm room?
-
It definitely doesn’t say I can’t in the Res Life handbook.
-
I understand why they call it Black Friday. Black represents death. This is death.
-
There are too many people. Why are there so many people?
-
We need a plague.
-
I need a nap.
-
And another piece of pie.
-
Ive never fully understood the saying “Shop until you drop” until this moment.
-
The sun is rising and I spent $100 more than I wanted to, I think its time to leave.
-
Oh my god why are there so many cars that look like mine.
-
I can’t find my car.
-
SOMEONE STOLE MY CAR.
-
Ugh I’ll have to call my boyfriend to come get me.
-
Wait, don’t have one of those.
-
Oh never mind there it is.
-
I’m never doing this again.Well, I mean, not until next year
If you were one of the sane people who slept instead this year, you’re in luck! Theres still tons of awesome online sales on Cyber Monday. (And you don’t even have to leave your bed.)
