Times Black Friday Shoppers Were Crazier Than The Deals
We all look forward to Thanksgiving for food, family, and potentially getting half off that flatscreen TV at your local Walmart on Black Friday. But do you really get that TV? Maybe. But you'd probably have to walk across an apocalyptic scene filled with Rollback stickers and screams of midnight shoppers in the home improvement aisle to get there.
Here are some images that really just cement the fact that Black Friday is on a whole nother level of craziness. And this craziness leaves us all scratching our heads and firmly deciding to stay indoors on the holiday weekend.
The Hospital Patient Who Prioritized Black Friday
Nothing gets your heart pumping and that blood flowing like the promise of a good deal—this hospital patient is proof of that.
Whatever is bugging them can wait because they have an LED flatscreen from the sale catalog stuck on their mind that they've got to go investigate.
Someone Stole The Concrete Target Ball On Black Friday
Even though the sales are good, they're not this good. You still have to actually buy stuff when you go to the stores.
Also, they have to be real merchandise and not giant concrete balls that sit outside the store.
This Fetus Wanted To Shop In Walmart On Black Friday Too
This is a photo of a woman who is giving birth in the middle of a Black Friday shopping trip. Not to cast any blame, but I feel like this situation could've been avoided.
A good rule of thumb is to not go on the trip if you think you're in labor.
Outside Walmart Or A Campground?
If you're camping out for days to get a discount on an item or two, you really need to rethink your priorities.
If you're "roughing" it by urinating in a Sprite bottle and not showering for two days in the Target parking lot, then you need to regroup and find some perspective.
The Excited Shopper Who Left Something Behind In The Restroom
Imagine being so into your shopping that you forget your underwear in the bathroom.
This person heard that Adam Sandler movies on DVD were BOGO in the electronics section and that quite literally knocked their pants off.
Nike, Before And After Black Friday
What once used to be a normal and well-organized Nike now looks like a Nike during a tornado.
I feel really bad for the employees who have to pick up after the humans who did this.
Just In Case You Thought Cyber Monday Would Be Better
You'd think maybe this person would realize the mistake before the packages got to their door. Normally when you notice a $1000 charge on your credit card, you typically say something to your bank.
But hey, Black Friday and Cyber Monday make us all crazy, so that's probably why.
Black Friday Smells Like Team Spirit
It's great that these two ladies are using Black Friday as some quality bonding time.
Just make sure you two don't lose each other in the crazy crowds, otherwise... they'll never see each other again.
Police Parking In Front... Just In Case
This definitely wasn't put here for Black Friday shopping, no way, not at all.
This is just a coincidence because sometimes police need to arrest someone in Walmart, and it sometimes happens to be on the Thanksgiving Friday.
This Store Was Literally Torn Apart
There's not one single box in this picture that looks like it was left unopened and in selling condition. Except maybe... is that an untouched box on the left?
No, my mistake, that's the last shred of someones dignity and decency they left behind.
Fighting A Child For A TV? Sounds Reasonable
Kids are the secret weapons of Black Friday shoppers. They can use their heights to skirt around people in the checkout line, their nimble limbs to climb shelves to get incredible deals, and their small human hands to flip through DVDs at record pace.
This woman just saw this kid for what he is—a threat.
The Serious Shopper
This truck driver heard about those carts they let you use in the store and they just knew those weren't going to cut it.
Not for the sales they plan to absolutely dominate at least. Truck yeah, baby.
You Have To Line Up For The Bathrooms Too
So this is another incredible reason not to go. As if the store isn't already crowded enough, you're not going to be able to use the restroom.
We've seen what these desperate shoppers will do for a good deal, so I don't even want to imagine what they'd do if they really had to go.
The Family That Put Full Trays Of Garbage On The Ground Instead Of Throwing It Out In The Food Court
When it's Black Friday and you're at the mall with your family, don't do what these people did and just be rude and put your garbage on the floor.
Pick it up and toss it into the nearest Nike shoe aisle like the rest of us civilized folk.
The Shopper Tornado That Hit This Shoestore
Imagine staying late on Black Friday because every single one of your customers decided to just pick stuff up and throw it over their shoulder when they were done with it.
I'd quit, wouldn't you?
If You're In There Long Enough You're Bound To Get Hungry
Don't actually do this, but it's definitely an attractive option if you know you're going to be trapped in a store on Black Friday for a long time.
Just a little nibble while you're waiting in line.
Looks Like A Zombie Mob But It's Just The Customer Service Desk
Here's another reason not to go—you're literally putting employees through the worst night of their lives. Imagine having all of these people screaming at you and demanding your attention at once.
It would be like a literal zombie apocalypse but Rick isn't there to save you.
If You're There Long Enough, Your Bags Become Your Bed
This kid is hosting a masterclass in relaxation and patience. While mom is back in Macy's to do more carnage, this kid is peacefully lounging through it all.
Actually, most Black Friday shoppers could probably take a few notes from him.
The Determined Shopper Who Said No To Home Delivery
Just because you can fit that giant TV you nabbed at 70% off on your stylish Euro moped, doesn't mean you technically should.
That's going to be a long, uncomfortable ride home with her, the TV, and her pride as a moped owner.
The Walmart Sign That Was Really Trying To Be Positive This Black Friday
This sign has major customer service voice. It's smiling through the pain as it tries to patiently explain why this is really not an okay thing to do when it'd really rather be crying.
This sign deserves employee of the month, truly.
This Black Friday Nightmare Item
This child's car seat will keep your kid safe through pure terror alone. They'll have a 100% safety rate because they'll be too scared to get into a car if this thing's in it.
No wonder this store is really trying to sell it through Black Friday deals.
This Sale Was BOGOS (Buy One Get One Snake)
This fabulous sheet set comes with a bonus snake with every Black Friday purchase! How fantastic!
The snake is the perfect thing for your home and will definitely be a talking piece for you and your guests.
Even Cards Against Humanity Had A... Sale?
So, for this Black Friday sale, Cards Against Humanity told people they'd be mailing out dirt. Actual dirt.
So when these people received their packages, that's exactly what they got instead of the card game. It's funny how these things work like that.
Just Spread That Holiday Cheer
Not only are you a good person because you're not making some poor employee's life miserable, but you're also a good person because you're not trampling others to get to a two-for-one deal on four-speed blenders.
You're the change we want to see in the world.
The Denim Black Friday Wizard
This man is who you see when you beat all the other customers to the checkout aisle.
He's the final boss you encounter who really tests your spirit with his magical denim robe.
Is This A Parking Spot? Well, Now It Is
Black Friday shoppers live by one law and that is chaos. If they can fit somewhere with their bodies, cars, and carts, then they'll make that happen no matter how dumb it is.
Hopefully, no cart rams into this car out of spite.
The Adult Just Making Themselves Comfortable
This picture is the epitome of what happens when your mom takes you Black Friday shopping at midnight to help out and it's really the last thing you want to do.
Even fully grown adults need a little r&r and that steel cart is the perfect place to do it.
It's Not An A La Carte Sale
Black Friday doesn't mean that you can start acting like an animal. Just because you need a slice of bread and not the whole thing for your famous bread pudding doesn't mean you should just grab a slice and hope it's part of the sale.
It's probably the worst thing since sliced bread.
4 Days Until Black Friday? Better Grab The Tent
Here are some dedicated campers who love fresh air, sunshine, and the noises from the highway that reach the Best Buy parking lot campsites.
Someone throw a marshmallow on that yellow daily deals sign for me, that puppy will be perfectly toasted in only a few days.
The Adult Lounge That Also Had A Black Friday Sale
This is a clever marketing move as well as one that gets in on the seasonal hype.
Although, this is probably the only Black Friday sale that people expect every day all year round.
First In Line
Looks like someone wanted to get a head start on the Black Friday lines.
Poor little thing isn't aware that the deals never seem to make it to the restaurants.
Not A "Big" Deal
This Tv is so big it needs its own ride in a truck. It must have been quite the "big" deal on it for them to attempt to squeeze it in their fancy Mercedes.
I hope he was carefully driving it home because one sharp turn and he's going home empty-handed and a couple of hundred dollars short.
Kids These Days
If you're looking for any more proof that kids spend more and more of their time glued to some kind of screen, look no further.
This video game rack was pretty much wiped clean. Except for the one game... clearly no one likes that one.
The Dark Truth Behind The Deals
At first glance, you think you're saving a whole $20 on these nice white sneakers.
Until you look a little closer and you realize it was cheaper to start with and they didn't even do a good job of hiding it.
Not Fake News
This is the picture a Spanish news channel chose when reporting on Black Friday sale insanity.
This is the kind of image that makes you surprised a reality tv show on Black Friday shopping hasn't gone viral yet.
The Line Up Is Half The Experience
If you see a line this long, would you even bother standing in it? This is why online shopping is the way to go.
You can be laying in bed on your laptop and make a purchase within minutes while these people lose a day of their lives just waiting in line.
At Least They Apologized
It's almost impossible not to make a mess amongst the pulling, the pushing, and the grabbing that make up the sport of Black Friday shopping.
At least this person took the time to apologize for it.
"Today A Miracle Occurred At IKEA"
We've all heard of shopping therapy, but who would've thought it could be so powerful that it literally could make a person walk again?
Maybe that's because Black Friday shopping is the mother of all shopping sprees.
Security Vs (IN)Security
This takes the shopping showdown concept to a whole new level. We all know security goes out the window during the chaotic Black Friday deals.
Who do we think will win this showdown? Security or insecurity?
