When I was a kid, Black Friday seemed like a magical event that I could only dream about participating in. All I knew is that when I went to sleep with my tummy full of a delicious Thanksgiving feast, dedicated shoppers were waking up at 2 a.m. to line up outside of department stores and fight for the best deals on TVs, toasters and trendy toys. 

Nowadays, Black Friday has evolved into a worldwide online and in-store event. But apparently, there are plenty of ways that it can go wrong! Below, you’ll find some of the funniest photos of Black Friday fails that Bored Panda has gathered from all over the internet. So enjoy scrolling through these silly pics, and keep reading to find a conversation with Arfa Nazeer, Blog Strategist and creator of She Means Blogging!

    Or Cardiff, or Llanelli, or Carmarthen. Actually anywhere in Wales these days. Even some of the smaller villages have this issue. And it's not just alcohol now, substance misuse is rife even in the most out of the way places.

    Right after Thanksgiving, a day of expressing gratitude and surrounding yourself with loved ones, comes Black Friday - a day dedicated to consumerism. While most shoppers are looking for great deals on Christmas presents for those near and dear to them, the day is usually anything but peaceful. We’ve all heard stories of shoppers being brutally injured, and nowadays, it can be hard to even find deals that are worth it.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    But the evolution of the day doesn’t stop shoppers from trying to get the best bargains they can find, even if that means ordering them online instead of leaving their homes at the crack of dawn with a Thanksgiving hangover. And lucky for us, sometimes those shoppers manage to snap photos of hilarious fails that they’ve encountered in stores!

    To learn more about Black Friday and how to take advantage of the day, we got in touch with Arfa Nazeer, Blog Strategist and creator of She Means Blogging. First, we wanted to know how she typically chooses to participate in Black Friday.

    “As I run an online business at She Means Blogging, I make purchases on discounts and also find the best offers for my readers,” Arfa shared. “For example, buying any online tool, digital product or any subscription. Similarly, I find the best deals for growing bloggers, so they can make affordable choices when they are at the beginning stage. I also make a separate listing for my subscribers, so that they find the best deals in their inboxes. Who doesn’t like saving some money, right?”

    This used to be a thing 50-60 years ago in Eastern bloc countries. Stores had a very limited quantity of items like electronics, so people were sometimes camping in front of stores, as they hoped to be one of the first lucky ones to purchase before the item sold out. I'm pretty sure that western media used it as example of "appalling living conditions in the east". But look, people in 2024 do this to save a few dollars. Ridiculous.

    I used to work in IT for a large company. The marketing people always used to complain that the junk they sent out was being blocked by people's spam filters and wanted me to "fix" it so that wouldn't happen. They didn't like my solution, which was for them to stop sending out spam.

    What advice does Arfa have for shoppers who want to make the most of Black Friday this year? “The first thing I would say is to clearly know what you have in your wish list,” she shared. “Before making your purchases, it’s important to do your research to compare the items and deals. If it’s a physical item like a piece of furniture or a display thing, I would definitely suggest checking stores and seeing it yourself. Otherwise, it is a smart choice to do online purchases, as it saves a whole lot of time and gives you the best discounts from the comfort of your home.”

    Since when does UPS use an open trailer pulled by an off road cart? This must be a private delivery inside a gated community or something. Real UPS drivers use a UPS branded truck/vehicle, unless it is UPS fulfillment which is done by contract employees, aka not UPS drivers

    For what it's worth, there is no evidence in the photo that this is actually a UPS truck. We are basing it solely on the drivers brown shorts from what I can see. And it's an Amazon package. Not sure about elsewhere, but here in the US it's pretty much only Amazon now that delivers their own packages

    While Black Friday might sometimes seem like an outdated event, it was still the biggest in-store shopping day of 2023 in the United States, Queue IT reports. And online spending on Black Friday continues to increase almost every single year, jumping up from $9.12 billion in 2022 to $9.8 billion in 2023.

    Police are saying that it's a miracle that no one was seriously injured when an S-U-V crashed into a store at the Austintown Plaza on Tuesday. Several ambulances were dispatched to the Plaza at 6000 Mahoning Avenue just before 6:00 p.m. First responders arrived to see the S-U-V on its side inside the Dots clothing store. The vehicle went over the sidewalk and flipped over a brick apron below the plate glass window. "It was crazy. I was behind the desk and I just heard a loud noise, and it just went right in the window," said Dots Employee Stacy Ramsey. "I just thought I need to see if everybody is okay, and I heard a little boy crying and I just thought 'oh my gosh." Police say, a mom and her son, believed to be eight or nine years old, were in the vehicle at the time of the crash. The woman was trapped inside the S-U-V, and rescuers had to cut away the wreckage to free her. https://www.wfmj.com/story/27732623/victims-walk-away-after-s-u-v-crashes-into-austintown-store

    Not everyone gets to spend the holiday season shopping, though. Some are forced to spend their days working behind a cash register or stocking stores to prepare for the seasonal crowds. According to TechTarget, retailers hire an additional 400,000-500,000 employees each year for the holiday season. In fact, Amazon alone announced that they planned to employ 250,000 additional workers to make sure that everyone’s Christmas presents are delivered on time.

    Once I worked at a grocery store. We had a display table with cookies and donuts. Somehow the cookie price sign fell off and disappeared. The donuts were cheaper, but the price sign for the donuts clearly said “donuts” and was also directly in front of the donuts, nowhere near the cookies. The fight I had with this lady when she tried to buy cookies and argued they should be the cheaper donut price, hooo boy 😂 she could not accept me saying “that price sign says it’s for the donuts, not the cookies.” To her, the closest price sign to an item should be the price, regardless of which item it specifically refers to.

    Otherwise, this is a good example of how product prices in online stores must be presented in the EU. They must have the price development for the last month and if there is not, the company can be accused of misleading marketing and they must make the necessary changes.

    And it'll crack after just a few uses. I find it kind of funny that there are two kinds of pyrex. Lowercase pyrex is produced in the US and complete c**p, uppercase PYREX is made in France and still really good and made of borosilicate glass. I even think the US version went out of business this year.

    1 year ago (edited) Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Not exactly. The Pyrex manufactured in France is made with borosilicate (what they were all made from when it originated in the USA) and Pyrex manufactured, currently, in US is made fron soda-lime. While borosilicate has a higher temperature gradient soda-lime has been proven to be much more resistant to cracks and breaks from drops or impact damage. So technically, the soda-lime is the superior product. The only problem is some of the cheaper Pyrex products are made with thinner glass. But a soda-lime glass of the same thickness as borosilicate is actually much stronger

    Someone Broke Into The Mail Room, Shattered The Glass Door And Stole Everyone’s Packages

    Someone Broke Into The Mail Room, Shattered The Glass Door And Stole Everyone’s Packages

    I came out of the gym early one morning and went to the mailroom to check my box and suddenly i was stepping on glass and i saw this.

    The front car gate to the complex has been broken for WEEKS and anyone could (and did!) walk in. The stupid part of this building design is that to enter the (partially) outdoor hallways to apartments there’s no need for a fob or a key and to enter the hallway with gym and mailroom access you just need to go through the fire door, which is not locked.

    Luckily, I had no packages so only mildly infuriating for me because now all non-USPS packages are routed to the front desk which is only open 8-6 on weekdays. I pity everyone else though because Black Friday was recently and that room was full to the brim.

    We’ve a retail end to our resort and use a very popular software suite to manage it. There’s an option to increase prices across the board based on sales data for each & every item, solely to be able to discount the prices for promo or a “huge sale” which garners original or higher earnings per piece/item. Every retail company does this. It’s the grocery store membership scheme. It works so incredibly well. One example: we sell branded beach towel for $79. In fall/winter (tropical warm local high season) it raises the price to $129. We do two (sometimes 3) marketed sales mid-Oct thru Feb and reduce the price to $99 for a “very limited time” with “sells out quickly” signage. We move ~300% more during this season & double it during the sales. It’s “bargain” psychology.

    If you shop on Amazon, the trick is to put them on your wishlist, not just in your cart and set notifications on. Do this weeks/months ahead of time so you'll notice the price changes. 9 out of 10, products are cheaper during non sale events. This way you don't fall for their "sale" prices.

    In Aotearoa if it's a guarantee they can replace it or give you your money back and on a warranty they have to fix it or replace it if they can't. So guarantee can be annoying if you buy something on sale and get your money back when the sale is over.

    I worked in animal welfare for 20 years. Ya wanna know our busiest times? Right after major gift giving & shopping "holidays". We'd get hundreds of animals being dumped in our shelter. "Discounting" animals like this gets them sold to people who either aren't capable or can't afford their care. Pets aren't impulse purchases and stuff like this is horrific.

I recieved and OBVIOUSLY used pair and they finally responded by giving me 10 dollars in goat credit and DENYING my return because it was listed as “Final Sale.” Is there not a rule in place for when they send me a wrong product?

    Filled Own Survey

    Filled Own Survey

    Spent the evening the other day trying to get a price match from Microsoft for Walmart's Black Friday pricing for a Xbox Series X. There was some miscommunication with the first rep when I initiated the original sale. I presented my evidence. Every price match I ever delt with wanted in stock pricing. They would not accept it. Not a huge deal, even it if it's a pain to do a return. But they were paying. But in the discussion, the Microsoft rep just stopped responding. This was supposed to be a CS manager! I was chatting over dinner so I would chat back when they responded, but then nothing. All of a sudden, as I was eating, the survey showed up, and filled itself out. I responded with the comments just to record on record what just happened. Pretty lame! First, got ghosted by the CS manager, then they gave themselves a glowing review! Made the return and went to Walmarts!

    This is a screen shot of Amazon's lightning sale for geekee headphones. Notice the advertised previous price of $139.99 to make you think you are getting a great deal. Who could resist an 87% discount?

    This is a screen shot from geekee' s own website. The normal price (non discounted) is $29.99. Yet another example of Amazon (and many other businesses) lying about original prices to get you to buy stuff you may not need.

The only time I’ve ever really participated in Black Friday was when I wanted to buy an expensive tool thing for my stepdad for Christmas, and I did research for a week before Black Friday. I managed to save $100 by buying it from Canadian Tire (my fave store), but a lot of places had terrible/non-existent “deals” on it.

    My neighbour often does this to me. I get home from work very late after he’s in bed, so a couple weeks ago I wiggle-wormed my car as close to his truck as I possibly could, since he was parked just over the line into my parking spot. There was MAYBE 2” of room between our vehicles. He would have had to make a 3 point turn just to pull out and around me. Since that day, he has so far now stayed respectfully in between his own lines 😌

    He probably, as I have, looked and said "dumbass", then looked at my OWN parking job...NOW who's the dumbass?

    The cover photo shows an iPad Pro, and I’m thinking that’s awesome I should check this out. Open the article, and find that it’s a regular iPad. Not quite awesome.

    I want to buy an old used iPad off craigslist or something for my cats, so I can load it up with cat games and let them play with it ☺️

    Is the Redditor that shared this trying to say women don't use power tools or do gardening?

    Whoa, all tires for cost price? (says so on the front page today). Nice! But wait... That doesn't seem so different from the prices I saw earlier this week.

    As it happens I still had a browser open from last Wednesday. !! They raised their prices 2,4% and are selling it as black Friday deal.
