Happy #CyberMonday! Or as I like to call it – the more civilized Black Friday.
Philly.com said it best: “Nothing captures the human experience quite like drop kicking a stranger for the final iPad Air at 6am on the day after Thanksgiving.”
I shamefully participated in the circus this year (my empty tube of Dior’s Diorshow Black Out Mascara forced an emergency trip to Sephora). The scene at King of Prussia mall was somewhat comparable to the stampede scene from the Lion King, and I’ve vowed never to put myself in that situation again.
Sure, the discounts are great, but here are your 4 reasons to skip Black Friday next year:
- #WalmartFights – Yes this hashtag went viral and it’s totally worth a click. I don’t know about you, but no shiner is worth discounted kitchenware.
- Adult Diapers – Three women were arrested for soiling themselves multiple times and stinking up the line outside of Target. Rock bottom?
- Technology – These days Vine, Instagram and Snapchat can give you the same experience as actually being in line at Best Buy (if that’s what does it for you…)
- Cyber Monday – Hello! It’s WAY better to break the bank from the comfort of your own home, no?
Did you brave the crowds on Black Friday? If so, any crazy stories?
