IRRITATIONS of Shopping on BLACK FRIDAY
1. Was it just me or did you all notice that the stores were uncharacteristically more crowded than they had been in the past??? I think it is do to the economy and more people seeking the better bargain?
2. WALMART- was ridiculous! I walked in, walked to the back of the store and walked out! The lines were freakin ridiculous!! I also felt a little bit scared for my safety. Anything I truly need, I will pay the extra money next week and stand in line 5 minutes than over an hour!
3. Mr. Incredible and I got pissed at each other in one store! SOOOOOooooo, ruined the entire shopping day. I had a few things in my buggy that required us standing in line for like 15 minutes! NOT BAD AT ALL!!! He said something loud and rude it had to do with what was in my cart and being able to get it any other time. I had two things in my cart that were not on sale! He said he didn't mean it towards me personally! HELLO!! I'm the one in line feeling the things in my buggy are worth the 15 minute wait! I chose them. I felt insulted. I retorted back and then he ended up getting his feelings hurt. He said, "that was rude". You want to air it out so that the entire line can hear our issue. "Bring it!". Yeah, I was not happy.
4. PEOPLE who still WRITE checks!!! what the?? This irritates me to no end. C'mon, swipe your debit card and let's go! This slowed the lines tremendously.
5. People who talk on their cell phones while attempting to drive. Most of the time you are a mediocre driver to begin with and clearly you can not handle multitasking of thinking, driving and talking!! HANG up the phone or invest in a hands free device.
6. People who embarrass others for being rude for walking in front or bumping into them and then do the same DANG thing to you!!! I watched this lady ream a boy out for accidentally bumping into her apologizing and then hearing a lecture from her. ONLY to have HER step right in front of ME! and steal my sales clerk! I so wanted to say something. But, I bit my tongue!
7. I HATE mail in rebates! These stores offering a great deal on items and then in fine print reading MAIL IN REBATE!!!
8. NOT being able to find the size or color you need!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrr
9. People shopping with their kids!! What the heck??? Are you freaking insane???
Invest in a family member, friend, or babysitter. Why on earth would you cart your children out with you on a shopping day like that?? COME ON! because then I have to listen to your children whining and crying. Which they should do and then I have to listen to you scream at your child or make stupid bargains with them. Someone ought to slap you! I volunteer to do it, free of charge!
10. Stupid sales people! If you don't know what you are talking about. SHUT UP and go find someone who does!!! and one more for good measure.
11. WE were in this department store. I was purchasing shoes. I had 3 boxes in my arm. Sales woman steps up to me and asks to assist. "No, Thank you. I will never see my boxes again, except on another woman walking out with my shoe sizes." Yeah, I'm real trusting of others. Same sales woman asks if I can check out now. "NO, I am not ready! Just leave me the heck alone!" One last futile attempt by sales woman. She scribbles her number on a post it note and says when I check out give her number to the cashier and walks out! Hello, she did not assist me in any way. She also asked that I only purchase the shoes in the shoe department! "NOT on your life. I went to the shortest line which was in the men's department and I crumpled your number.
Yep, and I still feel good enough to take sacrament! So, I hope my irritation post didn't dampen your holiday spirits! If it did, please write something uplifting so I can feel less BAH HUM BUG! Here's a good note. I am not in debt. I paid for everything in cash and I still have money left over!
