Black Friday's Not for Me

So many women say that they just love to go shopping. They get so thrilled over the deals and bargains in the stores. The Friday after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because there are many sales starting the Christmas shopping season.

Women flock to the stores. They fight crowds to get into stores.

I'm not one of them. I'd rather sit at home, play video games, and eat leftovers rather than go shopping. I would rather sleep all day. I would rather watch mindless movies. It almost does not matter what it is as long as it is not shopping. The only things that will get me to go shopping is if my other choice is manual labor.

I hate shopping. I hate it with a passion. Many guys do not understand this even though they don't like to go shopping.

Women claim they love to be pampered. They love how people come up to them in the clothing stores and ask if they'd like to try on these different outfits. They love how the people cater to them. I hate it. I want to scream, "Leave me alone! I can find my own clothes, thank you!" However, I don't say that. I smile politely and thank them for the help.

Clothes shopping is a necessary evil. I even hate staying for a long time at thrift shops and second hand shops, and those are my favorite places to go clothes shopping.

What about other shopping? Some things are okay. I like grocery shopping. Yes, I like the chore that so many others hate. If I could, I just might work as a professional grocery shopper. People would come up outside the store, hand me the shopping list, and then I'd meet them at the front of the store in front of the registers. They could pay me for my services and then go buy their groceries. Plus, it would give me an extra excuse for riding shopping carts. (What? You don't do that? Admit it, you do it all the time!)

I like book stores. I love the fact that I can stop and read books. I can stay there for awhile, but without being able to stop and read, they get boring.

I like electronics stores. I can browse the newest technology and learn about it. However, that gets tiring after awhile too.

The best store is Dollar Tree. There I can get pens, pencils, note cards, paper, and many pantry staples and snacks.
