Every year, as soon as Thanksgiving dinner ends people rush to their nearest department store and happily stand outside, in line, in the freezing cold, for hours on end. Just hoping to be the first one in the doors so they can grab the best deals before all the other crazies. I know what you're thinking, woah, that's devotion. But no, it's just plain stupidity. I mean I love stuff as much as the next guy but that seriously sounds awful. Because the first thing I wanna do after snarfing down pounds and pounds of potatoes, cranberry, and turkey is take a long nap (food coma) and not wait outside in the cold with a hundred other loonies. Now, mind you, I have never actually partaken in this insane US of A tradition. So it is possible that I'm totally missing out... but I have my doubts. Not to mention that every year there's like 3 people that get killed over this madness. Killed. Last year I remember reading about this old woman who got trampled in front of Walmart. And there's always your token "I got pepper sprayed in the eyes" story. If that isn't enough to deter you I don't know what will. Plus, I'm 99% sure that it's all a huge scam. Those stores know just about every way to make it seem like you're getting a great deal, when you most certainly are not.
