With Halloween approaching, I was reminded of something that has been really bugging me. It seems like people have turned every major holiday from an opportunity to relax to an excuse to have a sale. Every two weeks or so, it seems like there is another sale for some holiday or another. We just had a Columbus day sale, and soon we will have the Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales. Instead of trying to relax and have some time off from school and jobs, everyone is trying to get to as many stores as possible so they can take advantage of the great savings that they can use to get every single item that is so "vital" to everyday life. I have heard stories on the news of people who have gotten killed because they fell and they got trampled by thousands of people who were trying to get to a Black Friday sale at two in the morning at some store or another, like this one. I know that it is sometimes nice to get something on sale for 20 or 30% off, but is it really worth to get up at midnight and accidentally trample people to death?

Ahh, sleep. Yes, definitely the priority. I have never gone out shopping on Black Friday and never will!

I saw something on the news about how a lady was buying some sort of present for her nephew or something on Black Friday and it was the last of whatever item in stock, and her and another lady went to grab it at the same time and she pepper-sprayed the other lady in the face....... AGGRESSIVE SHOPPING WIN

I am absolutely okay killing a couple people for 5 bucks off a flatscreen.
