Why do people go shopping on Black Friday?

I never actually went shopping on Black Friday before this coming year. This year I am going to the mall, tommorow. The reason is, me and my friend planned to go this day earlier. We were only figuring out the soonest possible day. Then today it turns out, we're not the only ones, but I'm not going to change plans! I don't think it would be fair. Just because everyone else is going doesn't mean I have to ruin my plans! I think it would be just what they want. I am probably not going to buy very much anyway, I never do. We are probably just going to eat Chinese food there. I've done all my Christmas shopping on eBay, there is nothing left that I could possibly want, though I am going to bring some extra cash.

I won't and don't. The hours in line, the mess, the people, the frustration of things being sold out, all of that together isn't worth the few dollars I would save. Sure if you want a new big screen television and you are saving hundred and hundreds of dollars you may want to waste an entire night standing in line to fight to get one, but me, I would pay the extra hundred bucks and not have the hassle. This year especially when stores have been having sales like crazy and will continue to because the economy has been so bad.

Well there are really bargain things that you could get on Black Friday. But for me, I am just not up for the crowd. I mean, for a few bucks of savings, I would risk my health. No way. I happen to suffer from dizziness if I am in a crowd for too long. I tried to go shopping in a crowded market before (because of the savings I would get), the result was not good. So I'd rather stay home and look for online sales than risk going out again.
