So I decide to work today and off I go to Walnut Creek,(hey there Steerpike
anyway oh my god the bloody awful drivers out there, it was unreal, they should never be let lose on the freeway, the ones that only take the car out for special occasions clueless.....some w.nker nearly re-ended me in Dublin just before my exit, they were changing lanes no signal, going 50mph in the left lane :curse:stay at home next year or get someone who knows how to drive take you..

I have vented

Ha! I knew it! I just sent you a note saying I hoped you took the long w/e off. Shoulda known....
Did you get any bargains? I woke up too late to be of any use, not that I'd go out in those crowds. And I DID get rear ended this week, stopped at a grrrrr red light! Idgits. It *was* right by the swanky mall that it happened too..

Traffic was mayhem. I brought a $40 Laser mouse for $15 at Fry's. Got it home, it's crxp. I'll take it back when there's no traffic

a lot of people buying stuff that I can't see the retailers making ANY money on.

And whilst I'm here moaning. WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE NAMED *DAYS* FOR EVERYTHING. Black Friday - what a joke. Now of course, i can't wait till Monday, cause it's CYBER MONDAY (where people shop on line at work). Given most people are afraid of their jobs, I can't se them shopping at work and don't most people have home computers.

Grrr. makes me sick.. Happy Black-Cyber weekend

You nut you, poppy. BF is not the time to do any driving. Now you know why I stayed home all day and didn't venture out of the apartment. Tomorrow is time enough to do what I need to do this weekend. At least if you were rear-ended, you would have collected for car damages and "personal" injury.

Why is it called black friday - never heard of it before?

Poppy girl

Maybe I should go back out again later can't get a buyer for my car, might be a solution

At least he didn't have to worry about the traffic on the way home from work

Because a good shopping day today means the retailer will now have their accounts in the black instead of in the red.

I'm a tractor trailer driver for a big retail company, i wont say who, just that us on the insde call it Wally World
If you think it's bad shopping then you should try makeing a delivery to the stores on Black Friday To say it's a bloody nightmare is being nice, cars parked in the loading docks, you have to have a manager there to TRY and keep it clear so you can back in and switch trailers
On my schedule now i have Fridays off but the other drivers that have to work try everything to get the day off there's allso a lot of flu going around today nudge nudge
Anyway thanks to all of you that did charge bravely into the frey no matter where you shop
