Fuck you, and the Thursday you rode in on

 

Got dragged out of bed at 430am, to go to Circuit City to get the kids an XBox 360, with a refurbished HDD, for $199

We get their, notice the line going from the front door, all the way around the back, the line move, we wade through the sea of pathetic black Friday shoppers, only to find out they sold out every unit in about 1 and a half minutes.

Anger stage 1.......We decide to try Sears, they had a $199 arcade bundle with a free controller, we get in there, it's looking promising, until we get to electronics, and the line is about 30 long, and 10 people deep.  People just waiting in line for the chance to see if they have what they want.

Anger stage 2......I lose it, between the people, the fact that its 5am, and my general disdain for humanity, I start throwing out expletives like chitlens, Durty gets frustrated with me, we leave.

lovely car trip across town

Then I suggest going to Gamestop, and see what they got.  A much more pleasant experience, no one was in the store, the help was......HELPFUL, so we ended up getting the arcade bundle w/6 arcade games, a cooler, and 2 games for $240.  Which in my personal opinion, I would rather pay an extra $40 for actual help, and not having to put up with an over crowded store.  Saving $40 in lew of my fucking sanity doesn't work for me.

So we got that out of the way, now I get to look forward to shopping for Durty with her mom.

Later Fuckers

enjoy your black fucking Friday

I never take part in black friday. It's a mad trap that leads insanity. When people are willing to camp out in front of a store two days prior (yes people were camping out wednesday and spent thanksging in a line) or Thanksgiving night the Best Buy parking lot is full (I saw that on the way home from my dads last night), what does that say about the shallow greedy commercial nature we have in this country. If the only thing you have to be thankful for on Thanksgiving is a sale the next day you are sad and decrepit.

Nice story! :) Shopping for Durty, though? I thought you already had her, why do you have to buy her again? And taking her mom with you is a little... i dunno... weird? :P Boo-YAH!
