We don't do Black Friday sales. Instead, we are doing birthday stuff because it's K's birthday (35th!).
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

Because books.
Oh, happy birthday to K!
I know people who will get up in the middle of the night to get to stores at 4 a.m. on Black Friday. I think it's crazy. I've been to a mall once or twice, but the traffic alone is too much to deal with.

Huh. I don't own a 9x13 pan. I have an 8 x 11 and a 10 x 15. I think better to go down a size than up.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Plus the "OMG, we must sell this stuff, slash the price beyond the bone!" sales are often good.
This. Although in recent years, the deep discounting has started the 7-10 days before Christmas.
I would rather brave the mall on the 26th for the sales than on Black Friday.

going to work on Black Friday is a pain, because it's a nasty atypical traffic pattern that messes with the commute of blameless people.

I don't plan to leave my home on Black Friday unless the Indian restaurant is open for their lunch buffet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My body is freaking out. It's doing all sorts of randomly strange stuff. One arm looks like I've been cutting, but badly. I woke up one morning, and there were random streaks of blisters just below my wrist. Now they're darkening and reddening. I have no idea where they came from, if I'm having an allergic reaction to anything. And it's way too big an area to bandaid over to prevent chafing. What the hell is wrong with me?

I was kicking around Best Buy today waiting for K-Bug to get off work and there were already 2 people lined up for the Black Friday sales. I just....no. Not happening.
KCD and his wife are going to try to go get CJ a new laptop on sale. I wish them the best of luck and don't want to hear how it went until after noon on Friday.

The pie is in the oven. I am finally off my feet.
There is no price-saving worth it to me to spend hours in line the day after Thanksgiving. Bah.
