Black Friday

In the words of my psychology teacher, "People are lining up at 3am in the morning to buy stuff when they don't even have a job!"

How true that is. It's been really unbelievable these past couple of years with these ads for Black Friday. Two decades ago, if you mentioned to someone Black Friday, they would have been like, "What?"
Nowadays, people are just crazy for sales, especially with this economy.
Black Friday, for the few remaining who don't know, is the day after Thanksgiving which boasts the biggest sales of the year. While this is true, my tennis coach also remembers telling his wife, "We can't afford to save anymore!" after she comes home telling him how much she saved on all of the things she bought.
I can't totally rule myself out of this craze though because I'm ordering a laptop, however it does stand on a little bit on the border to say that someone would camp outside a store just to buy things that most of the time, they don't even need. And don't even get me started about the people who died from being trampled to death from the Black Friday mobs.

Needs vs. Wants people. Needs vs. Wants...
