The 7 Stages Of Black Friday Shopping As Told By Chandler Bing

Youtube

Ah, yes. Black Friday. The time of the year where thousands of people stand in line for hours just to save some cash. While this holiday can be rough, it can be worth it. If you are one of those thousands who go shopping on Black Friday, then here is a typical night of shopping, told by Chandler Bing.

1. Thinking of all the good deals

The only logical reason to go to the mall at midnight. Saving money is the best feeling ever tbh.

2. When you get to the stores

You're so excited and very overwhelmed, but it's go time.

3. Underestimating the crowds

This is about when you start to second guess why you even left your bed in the first place.

4. "Why didn't I just wait for Cyber Monday?"

This is a very common thought that goes through everyone's mind. But hey, at least you're not the only lunatic out shopping this late. It's okay, we're all in this together.

5. When something you wanted was sold out

Worst. Feeling. Ever.

6. Finally leaving the madness

Get me out of here NOW! Goodbye and goodnight!

7. Knowing you successfully purchased all of your Christmas gifts

Something truly worth celebrating. While it might have been a crazy night, at least you don't have to worry about buying any more gifts! Now the rest of your holiday can be a little less stressful.

Black Friday is the craziest night of the year for department stores. While it can be hectic, it's so worth it. I wonder why there was never a FRIENDS episode about it... hmm, The One Where They Go Black Friday Shopping?

I'm the Short Friend. I've been the Short Friend since about the seventh grade. I'm the one who stands in the front of the photos, gets made fun of for their height, and still shops in the kids department.

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.
