Why I Avoid Black Friday Like the Plague -- and Why You Should, Too
Every year, I look forward to not only Thanksgiving, but the Friday after. For me, it's a great opportunity to spend a little extra time with family, enjoy delicious leftovers, and recover from the previous day's cooking marathon.
But if there's one thing I always make a point not to do the day after Thanksgiving, it's go shopping. That's because I loathe Black Friday, and here's why.
I don't do well in crowded spaces in general, so it stands to reason that I wouldn't fare well on Black Friday, when lines to get into a store can extended well into its parking lot and elbow room is limited once indoors. But also, the crowded nature of stores that day would likely make it harder for me to focus on my purchases and make smart decisions.
