6 Types Of People You WILL Run Into Holiday Shopping

...Tis the season to go shopping and avoid everything important about this holiday. I know you probably fall under this, as most people do. So I know you were probably out on Black Friday and Thanksgiving shopping and I can only imagine what kind of experience that was. Here are the 6 different kind of people you saw while shopping, or will be seeing this holiday season.

1. The Soccer Mom

This isn't just your normal mom, this is the mom that runs around at 3am hurdling over small children and pushing people out of her way to grab that sweater at American Eagle that is only $5 off. (It'll get cheaper before Christmas, but it's the sale that counts.) Chances are she also slowly snuck past you and snagged the last pair of free slippers from you too.

2. Soccer Mom's Husband

This guy stands out in the crowd. He is probably sitting down on any type of flat surface that isn't a chair in the store. He also probably has thousands of dollars of merchandise in his hands, while his wife is calling to him from the other side of the store about which color sweater their daughter Megan would like. Chances are he has no idea.

3. The Woman With Valid Coupons

I know at least one time in your life you have watched some kind of extreme coupling show and you just wonder how the hell they do it. Well, while you are out shopping, you are going to see a real life version of this. (Hopefully you don't get caught behind this person). Some how or another Sharon can get in line with $600 worth of merchandise and only pays $46.97 for all of it.

4. The Woman With Invalid Coupons

The. Worst. Kind. Of. Christmas. Shopper. Tara, I know you had that coupon from last Black Friday, so yes, that means you cannot use it. No...you also can't reuse the coupon from the woman in front of you. Oh now you don't want the boots now? Excellent.

5. Retail Worker's Worst Nightmare

This is the worst of the worst. You get up to the register and it isn't until after you are ready to pay that you decide that you don't ACTUALLY want the stilettos, polo for your husband, school pants for your son, and Nikes for your daughter... "Oh you don't take check? Well, then I won't take any of these items then." More or less the worst kind of person to deal with during any time of the year.

6. Cutest Old People Ever

You just look at them and first off you wonder why they are even out at this hour, but then you realize you don't care because they are adorable and probably will make your day SO much better.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
