Have fun at Bed Bath & Beyond

[–]rocn[S] 181 points182 points ago

Ha, there is absolutely no way that I'm going. I couldn't believe she asked me with a straight face. I'd rather spend my time separating fly shit and black pepper with boxing gloves on.

I wouldn't go even if it was just the wife and I. With the sisters? The mother-in-law too? NOPE!

[–]Sokonomi 138 points139 points ago

I'd rather spend my time separating fly shit and black pepper with boxing gloves on.

The world thanks you for that one.

[–]rocn[S] 42 points43 points ago

Thanks! It's actually not mine, but I always thought it was a gem.

When I was little boy, as most kids do, I would often say "I'm bored ..."

Well, my grandpa would always respond with "We could separate fly shit and black pepper with boxing gloves on." He was an old school Italian guy who grew up in Long Island NY, he had a lot of those swift lines.

It's possible to use that word legitimately in this sense without referencing the trends of a specific website.

a gem? A GEM?? This, sir, is the magical blood of a unicorn, it is not only the diamond but every piece of joy in life that is tied to the diamond's existence, this is the shit that thor's hammer is made of. its what every fucking piece of sand wants to become when it grows up! ITS WHAT EVERY GOOD MEMORY OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD IS MADE OF. DAMMIT IF I HEAR YOU CALL IT JUST A LE GEM AGAIN ILL FIND YOU AND KICK YOU IN THE SHIN.

Did you lose it in the black pepper? Are you a fly?

[–]fr33th1nk3r 1 point2 points ago

How did you know?

[–]Cocomaan 4 points5 points ago

Saved this topic just for that quote.

[–]jonnyboy32 4 points5 points ago

I have a very strict rule of no pants on Black Friday. It's one of the principles I've built my life upon. I'll say I'm willing to go, but there's no fucking way I'm wearing any pants, usually secures my spot on the coach for the day.

[–]rocn[S] 1 point2 points ago

Everything is better with no pants. The worst part about having company over on the weekends is having to wear pants. Blasphemy.

[–]McDLT 1 point2 points ago

Black Friday is reserved for vidya games allllll day.

[–]Tripacola 0 points1 point ago

lol, the only reason I hate going shopping with women is because they make me sit and wait at the entrance but I want to go and look at the cute clothes they have on sale. Just makes me mad I cant buy them because I'm a guy.

[–]Aaod 2 points3 points ago

I got five dollars on cross dresser within 5 years any takers?

[–]Tripacola 0 points1 point ago

nah i've crossdressed a few times since I was like 13. Makes me mad though since I can't pass so I don't do it as often as I'd like.

[–]Rowit 1 point2 points ago

Yep, best quote EVER.

[–]LawfulStupid 0 points1 point ago

Dear Rocn,

How do you separate fly shit and black pepper with boxing gloves on?

Crapfully yours, LawfulStupid

[–]Sonick06 0 points1 point ago

For some reason I imagine you having chop sticks and also boxing gloves. I don't know if the chop sticks help or make it worse.

[–]moscova89 8 points9 points ago

Bed Bath and Beyond is having a Black Friday sale?

[–]gregthewhat 17 points18 points ago

It's the same shit every year, they give you a 20% coupon at the entrance.

"We don't have sales, this coupon let's you make your own sale"

God I fucking hate working there.

[–]sisleyek 6 points7 points ago

They send those coupons in mail all the time anyways...

[–]gregthewhat 3 points4 points ago

Exactly... sigh

[–]shwiggy 1 point2 points ago

I use them even if they're expired it doesn't matter. Anyone on the mailing list should have 100 of these.

[–]Dragonslayer125 1 point2 points ago

They had it last year, my aunt went to it.

My reaction to having to work in retail on Black Friday

[–]Dracula_Bus 11 points12 points ago

Yeah, I work in a call center and they asked if I would work next Friday... Hell no. Hell fucking no!

[–]prometheus1981 3 points4 points ago

Call on Friday and tell them you have a flat tire

[–]Dracula_Bus 2 points3 points ago

It's all good. I already have it off.

[–]serux 5 points6 points ago

12 hour shift and dealing with the cheapest bastards in the world?

I don't get paid enough for this shit.

[–]scuzzytoast 1 point2 points ago

Same.

But at least I got the absolute best shift this year - early swing shift. I don't have to be there at midnight to open, and I don't have to stay for hours after the store closes to clean up the carnage.

All things considered, I am fucking thrilled!

[–]Jfsanta 2 points3 points ago

Lucky you, I both open and close.

[–]corriek1975 47 points48 points ago

My reaction to the existence of Black Friday in general. Nothing like watching humanity battle it out for object to save 5 bucks. Morons....

[–]coolcool23 23 points24 points ago

Psh. More like 10 dollars. That's twice as much.

[–]BlueCarrot 8 points9 points ago

And twice the amount of fucks I give... oh wait!

[–]Bazingabowl 1 point2 points ago

Two times zero equals.... ooooohhhhhhh

[–]RoFlOvErLoAd 1 point2 points ago

2 x 0 = 00

0 = A 'Fuck'

There are two 0's

Therefore he give two 'Fucks'

[–]Be3Al2Si6O18 9 points10 points ago

That's what makes it so fun to watch. Every penny-pinching maniac from miles around comes together to put on the most tragic and comedic human event American consumerism has to offer. You bet your ass I'll be shopping on Black Friday. I'll be window shopping, gazing at the children on leashes and old folks on oxygen tanks, both equally crushed under the weight of an obese woman barely able to walk as she dives on a 20% off toy that will be thrown out a month or two later. It is the greatest waste of human potential in the world, and I will relish the spectacle as I throw my two cents of wasted time into the well of unrealized potential and unfulfilled dreams. It will be an affirmation, a spur to aspiration, that I can achieve more than what hordes of Americans have settled on throughout their lives. Black Friday is my r/GetMotivated, it is my mirror on the wall, it is my yearly reminder that I can do better, and I love it.

[–]big_deal 1 point2 points ago

You're a sick person aren't you?

[–]Atlas909 0 points1 point ago

How is people trying to get a deal on various consumer goods "the greatest waste of human potential in the world?"

[–]CoolybutnotFooly 3 points4 points ago

How ARE people

Also, if you wait 48 -72 hours outside of a building in freezing temperatures to save $100 on a T.V. that you couldn't afford in the first place means that your priorities are a little skewed.

[–]faeces 0 points1 point ago

[–]faeces 0 points1 point ago

How is (the thing people are doing) the greatest waste of human potential in the world?

[–]Atlas909 -2 points-1 points ago

You're actually wrong- I asked how IS the action of "people trying to get a deal on various consumer goods" the greatest waste. The word "people" is not the subject, the entire action "people trying to get a deal on various consumer goods" is the subject. Also you never answered my question. Still not seeing how it's the greatest waste of human potential in the world. Your arrogance is astounding to me.

[–]CoolybutnotFooly 1 point2 points ago

Actually I did. You're just not looking hard enough.

Plus, I think you misused "arrogance" seeing how my answer was not haughty in the slightest.

[–]kawaiiprincess 1 point2 points ago

As someone who's first year black friday shopping is this year, you have pretty much summed up the entire reason I want to go. Good on ya

[–]Vessix 2 points3 points ago

You're playing down how much you can actually save. Even as a male I can confirm there are ridiculous deals on Black Friday.

[–]javacodeguy 8 points9 points ago

There is almost no amount of savings (even hundreds of dollars) that is worth me camping out in the cold during Thanksgiving and then dealing with huge stampedes of people. Perhaps you value your time, especially holiday time you can spend relaxing with your family, much less than me.

[–]PabbleDabble 6 points7 points ago

Maybe I'm spoiled, but people talk about "deals" and "savings" and I'm like... I don't want that stuff... I wanna sit around and bullshit with my parents and siblings and eat delicious leftovers.

[–]Frankyminion 3 points4 points ago

I bought a $600 42 inch flat screen for $200 for a savings of $400. I spent 12 hours waiting in line. I make minimum wage. My pay is 7.70 an hour before taxes. So if i didnt include taxes i would have to of worked around 52 more hours to get that tv. I'd say it was worth it.

[–]Shangheli 4 points5 points ago

Not sure about your math, but I worked out you lost $200 not saved $400. You're not saving, you're losing a little less.

[–]poply 1 point2 points ago

Difference was $400, he makes $7.70 an hour, so it'd take 52 hours to pay for the difference if he didn't buy it on blackfriday.

$400/$7.70 = 51.9 hours

He waited in line for 12 hours, so it was a 30 hour difference. So while he may not be entirely correct stating "i would have to of worked around 52 more hours to get that tv.", it was either spend 52 hours working a job I can only assume he hates, or spend 12 hours on the sidewalk probably with friends, watching movies, playing games, etc.

[–]sargeantb2 3 points4 points ago

He's trying to claim that op would save $200 and the time by not buying it in the first place.

[–]poply 1 point2 points ago

Oh, I guess I didn't see that.

But I guess as with all deals, you're only really saving money if it was something you were going to buy anyways.

[–]rocn[S] 3 points4 points ago

Some people would pay $200 to have 12 hours of time to do whatever they wanted. Time is money.

When your life is occupied by so many obligations that you rarely get time to yourself, you'll do whatever it takes for "me time."

[–]Vessix 1 point2 points ago

I never said I go to or even like Black Friday...

[–]Shotcalleram 0 points1 point ago

Maybe some people get a thrill out of it?

[–]crisss1205 0 points1 point ago

I go to my family's rural Upstate New York house Thanksgiving weekend where the Walmart is open 24 hours and you can still find big Big Ticket Black Friday items in stock and still on sale at 10PM on Friday.

Last year I was able to get a 55" TV and a Xbox 360 with Kinect on sale around 9PM.

[–]Skelevader 0 points1 point ago

You can get great deals without having to worry about waiting in the cold, or stampedes of people. Lowes and Home Depot have amazing deals with low lines and usually they have plenty of stock so you could show up later in the day and still get the deal. I also go to Best Buy every year to get the latest season of Smallville for $10 without waiting in the cold. Just show up when the doors open, you can walk right in without waiting in line. The line is for those that want a ticket to buy that really limited, really low price item, which I don't want.

[–]big_deal 0 points1 point ago

I guess you can save a trip to Best Buy this year.

[–]CoolybutnotFooly -1 points0 points ago

Cyber Monday. That's all that needs to be said.

[–]DeLoreanMotorCars 0 points1 point ago

I go because it's fucking fun to be out around people, in all the madness.

[–]jamin_brook 0 points1 point ago

[–]worldisorder 1 point2 points ago

Battle it out It = death Divide by 2 Round it down Battle death out Shit! I divided by zero!!

[–]jamin_brook 2 points3 points ago

yes

[–]DaGoodDaBadDaFugly 0 points1 point ago

I'm happy to pay the post-sales prices for anything I'd want to buy... the extra bucks are absolutely NOT worth having to go shopping on Black Friday. There's nothing I want so badly that I'd endure that Hell. And isn't that why the gods created Amazon and other online retailers?

[–]battleshits 0 points1 point ago

Save money going broke.

[–]EndlessPapSmear 12 points13 points ago

[–]Dracula_Bus 3 points4 points ago

[–]Rickolas 11 points12 points ago

I used to work in retail. you know that initial rush when they open the doors? Yeah - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SMWC3jovqBo#t=105s

[–]Knollz 3 points4 points ago

So you want to furiously gun down the hordes of customers? Actually, as someone working in retail myself, I feel the exact same way.

[–]Pandaclysm_ 10 points11 points ago

You were asked to shop? Must be nice to have a job that doesn't require you to serve people on that day. This is anyone in customer service.

[–]rocn[S] 7 points8 points ago

Granted, it is nice, but I would have so much more room for activities at home while I xmas shopped on Amazon in between faps.

All the women are off shopping? Fap Friday.

[–]toesonthenose 0 points1 point ago

i am thankful to have a job at an internet company on days like black friday

[–]SourCreamWater 5 points6 points ago

Ugh. Early in a previous relationship, my GF asked me to go bikini shopping with her.

FUCK YES I WILL LOOK AT YOUR EPIC BODY IN VARIOUS BIKINIS ALL DAY.

But then it literally was ALL day. Allllllll day.

"Babe, your tits look fantastic in that. They look the same in all triangle tops." "You asked my opinion 4836708947 times and I still don't like the strapless tops." "If it's too small, then why did you pick out the french cut?"

I think 4 hrs and 10 stores is the limit. Screw you Pacific Beach for having so many damn bikini shops.

[–]rocn[S] 2 points3 points ago

Wait a minute here. You mean to tell me it was nothing like this?

My dreams ... crushed.

[–]zoeypantalones 0 points1 point ago

4 hours and 10 stores? Jesus Christ man. Even half of that would kill me, and I'm a girl.

I don't celebrate Black Friday...we celebrate Brew Friday.... we brew beer and drink beer all day.

[–]robotjackie 2 points3 points ago

I talked my boyfriend into going Black Friday shopping.

...at best buy.

...for a great deal on an xbox bundle.

...that i intend to play with him.

[–]OutofStep 2 points3 points ago

When my wife tells me she's getting up at some ridiculous hour to go to the mall on black Friday, in my head I imagine her saying this.

[–]Peachfuzz207 1 point2 points ago

It's about time somebody used this gif. Haven't seen it in a while.

[–]Aaron1977 2 points3 points ago

At least she's trying to involve you.

[–]GimmeTheHotSauce 6 points7 points ago

I'm not going to lie. I will be shopping on Black Friday.

But it will be at Golf Galaxy because I need a new gap wedge. I might even splurge on a few other things as well.

[–]due_the_drew 1 point2 points ago

whoa, whoa, whoa, lets keep it reasonable now.

[–]Emperorr 0 points1 point ago

As a man, I have absolutely never cared about Black Friday.

Everything changed when I joined MaleFashionAdvice a month ago...

[–]Citizen_Gamer 5 points6 points ago

I usually skip Black Friday too, because I hate dealing with crowds. But Xcom and Dishonored are $25 at Walmart! I might have to brave it.

[–]Tartarus1312 0 points1 point ago

Steam should have a Thanksgiving/holiday sale as well, and I'm sure at some point in the 3-4 days, those games will be on sale on Steam, maybe even cheaper than at Walmart.

I'm looking forward to the Steam sale.

[–]finallycreatedaname 0 points1 point ago

My wife said one of her favorite traditions is to go shopping with her mom on Black Friday and would I mind if she kept that tradition going after we got married.

[–]veryood 0 points1 point ago

You WOULD mind if she continued a tradition she enjoys with her mother after you got married? ...I hope that was just a typo.

[–]finallycreatedaname 1 point2 points ago

Not a typo she was asking if I would mind.

[–]am37 3 points4 points ago

In the office, Michael (Steve Carell) finds out his worst enemy, Toby Flenderson from HR, has returned to work at his branch. The episode is "Frame Toby" from season 5, I believe.

[–]mondlicht 0 points1 point ago

Thanks mate!

[–]blazinganj 2 points3 points ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTr-Nui1tDg

It is from the american version of the televison show called "The Office" which profiles a fictional paper company. Michael is the branch manager of this paper company. Toby is the Human Resources representative. Michael hates Toby with a passion. Toby left for Costa Rica months prior to this scene. This is Michael's reaction when Toby returns.

[–]mondlicht 0 points1 point ago

Awesome, thanks! I was actually promising myself to get my hands on The Office, and now I i'll definitely do just that. Thanks again, mate

[–]blazinganj 0 points1 point ago

No problem, man!

[–]awake673 1 point2 points ago

You should probably go. Sometimes things can get pretty violent in Black Friday because people are crazy about the deals there.

[–]usedtowork 0 points1 point ago

I get suckered into this every year, basically I go along and stand in line while they shop

to be fair it's not even bad since my wife got her iPad, I load it up with magazines and books before we go and catch up on my reading

[–]derpMD 1 point2 points ago

Heh...they try to convince me every year.

"But you can save so much!" they tell me.

Sorry. I would actually pay money not to stand in long lines with a bunch of irritable, hung over bargain hunters.

[–]bodiez 0 points1 point ago

This gif took 10 secs to load on my Internet connection so it was Michael Scott staring blankly for ten seconds then the NO NO NO. Even more hilarious.

[–]spundnix32 0 points1 point ago

Maybe you should replace Black Friday with Buy Nothing Day or Brew Friday.

[–]tater-tot-freak 0 points1 point ago

I cannot imagine wanting my husband to come on a shopping trip with me and a bunch of women. Black Friday or not. That's just weird.

[–]ashtray_nuke 2 points3 points ago

you and your husband must have such a close relationship.

[–]tater-tot-freak 0 points1 point ago

Actually, we have a great relationship. Why would you assume otherwise? Because I'd rather spend some quality time with my girlfriends without subjecting him to a day of shopping? How is it any different than when my husband goes on golf trips with the guys? I think it would be weird if he asked me along.

[–]ashtray_nuke 0 points1 point ago

Ok Why would it be wierd? My girlfriend comes with me and my friends on fishing trips and has a great time (i cant golf im not white) and i go shopping with her and her friends and i have a great time too.

[–]tater-tot-freak 1 point2 points ago

That's fine, everyone has a different dynamic. But, again, why would my original comment lead you to assume we don't have a close relationship?

[–]ashtray_nuke 0 points1 point ago

Because you think its weird to spend time with your boyfriend doing things you like to do. And you think it'd be weird to spend time doing things he likes to do so both of you have to rely on friend groups for companionship in those activities.

[–]NICKisaHOBBIT 0 points1 point ago

Maybe because she wants to spend time with her friends while her boyfriend does what he wants.

Not every couple needs to do every activity together, frankly I hate when an ex wanted to spend every day together. It's called me time.

[–]ashtray_nuke 0 points1 point ago

I couldn't handle being in a relationship with someone if I didn't enjoy spending time with them. And she didn't say "im afraid id be smothering him" she said it'd be weird if he enjoyed my friends, he has his friends. I had an ex who wanted nothing to do with my friend group and who would never want me to meet hers. That's an uncomfortable situation to me

[–]Runedaegun 0 points1 point ago

i see these comments about not wanting to work customer service on black friday and i must argue. i worked graveyard at a very busy gas station for 6 years and black friday was by far THE EASIEST shift i had that was holiday related since everyone has already gassed up and gotten whatever they needed for thanksgiving or were out of town so it was DEAD. however it does follow the hardest shift my store had....3rd shift the 2 nights leading to thanksgiving. i could go to a club and see less drunken idiots!

[–]SeethingRage 1 point2 points ago

It would be dangerous to society for me to go out on Black Friday. Within 30 minutes I am sure I will have murdered someone.

[–]JMCrown 0 points1 point ago

I really don't like Christmas at all for many reasons but this is one of the main ones. Alright, you need to have a consumerist mentality towards Christmas? Fine. So then does it help you to get 75% off some item if you go before 6:00 am? Fine. But I hate when people take it to this level wanting to get out there as early as possible just because. "Oh, it'll be fun!" Every year, I care less and less about Christmas. Gift cards and ready-made gift baskets...easiest thing to do just to get the damn holiday over with.

I've never understood men and shopping aversions. I love taking my girlfriend shopping. Picking out clothes for her to wear for me, spoiling her a bit, getting some decent stuff for my self occasionally. Definitely pays off in the bedroom too.

[–]cinch123 0 points1 point ago

If there is any day of the year that I will gladly, with no argument whatsoever, agree to stay confined to my home on my day off and play with the kids for an entire day while my wife goes and spends a ridiculous amount of money, it's Black Friday.

[–]diggerB 0 points1 point ago

I don't know if it works as I never go out on shopping trips (aside from groceries) with my wife, but I would suspect that your presence may help her curb her spending a tad...

[–]Endyo 0 points1 point ago

I'm going to try and get a cheap TV from walmart, but I don't know if I will succeed. That's on Thursday though. I did Black Friday early morning bullshit ONE TIME and I would describe it as one of the worst experiences of my life.

I personally can't wait to see the video of people fighting and trampling each other at the waffle iron pallet at walmart to get their 4 no name waffle irons for $2 each.

Oh wait, that was last year.

Classic times.

I often go shopping on Black Friday. But my idea of shopping is different than, say, my girlfriend's. I know what I want, and I browse the circulars to see if it's on sale, and where. So I go, get what I want, and leave. I have no problem waiting in lines, but I'm not interested in fighting for breathing room while trying to browse, like some people do.

I'm a guy and I go Black Friday shopping every year. It's more a tradition for me and my good friends from high school. I finally get to see my friend whose in the Marines or the one in college in a different city. There's a nice group of us and we all catch up with each other. Also the crowds even aren't that bad nor the people in them everyone kinda keeps to themselves, at least in my city. The deals are pretty sweet and I don't even feel like I'm wasting my time waiting in line. I mean shit have you ever been to a theme park those lines are much worse... Anyways I find Black Friday pretty damn fun.

You missed an opportunity to loop it.

I saw on the news last night that there are some people already camping out in front of a Best Buy for next Friday. What the hell is this world coming to anyway.

[–]starbuxed 0 points1 point ago

becaause you are going to be camped out at best buy right?

[–]godlesspinko 1 point2 points ago

Honestly, I'm of the opinion that if you want to go shopping on Black Friday, you're probably not a very smart person.

[–]NoMomo 0 points1 point ago

Lol men don't like shopping.

[–]elitedrumr 0 points1 point ago

I actually don't mind shopping with my wife on black Friday. :-)

[–]WhoPooedInMaShoe 0 points1 point ago

I'd rather chew off my own foot than go shopping on black Friday.

Source: worked retail for 3 years. I have common sense.

Every time Alienblue crashes I imagine that the picture/gif or video it was trying to load was so fucking awesome that it couldn't possibly deal with it.

[–]Willqwertyz 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking the same thing when my girlfriend asked if i wanted to go see twilight

[–]hotpinkkel 0 points1 point ago

This is what my boyfriend looked like when I mentioned watching Twilight tonight.

[–]dulazhere 0 points1 point ago

I want to give 2 upvotes because Michael is hilarious and I said the same thing to my gf!

[–]TheDroopy 0 points1 point ago

The last two Black Fridays, my friend and I spent about two hours driving through parking lots and making fun of people waiting in line in the cold. We're not good people.

[–]Mashiba 0 points1 point ago

Why would you say no?!?!? I find it fun as hell watching people tear each other apart over discount silver wear.

[–]Beardfire 0 points1 point ago

Fuck that noise, I go solo. They'd just slow me down.

[–]myrandastarr 0 points1 point ago

This was great.

[–]ansate 0 points1 point ago

You should go. Bring a camera, if you're lucky two fat ladies will start tearing each other to shreds over the last Furby or something.

[–]jjarch86 -1 points0 points ago

I would upvote this 100 times if I could.

[–]Rountree85 -2 points-1 points ago

No one cares.

[–]LaterGatorPlayer -5 points-4 points ago

I do. Approximately one upvote worth.

Yeah.

[–]ChokuRei 1 point2 points ago

I care!

[–]HovercraftFullaEels 1 point2 points ago

But you'll get to wait in line for 6 hours to save 20 dollars!! 20!! That's like, two tens!

[–]blazinganj 1 point2 points ago

I absolutely fucking love this GIF, it cracks me up every time and it comes in so handy so often!

[–]Cocomaan 1 point2 points ago

Fortunately my wife hates black friday.

[–]Tabz18 0 points1 point ago

This is exactly how I react when my boyfriend wants to go shopping! Ugh...I hate clothes shopping for hours. I usually just go chill in EB games. Shopping trips are ENDLESS!

[–]TheRetribution 1 point2 points ago

Nice try, EB games.

[–]inajeep 0 points1 point ago

Super brave and original, OP.

[–]trollbert___________ -3 points-2 points ago

women are materialistic that's why they're the lesser species.

[–]davrone -5 points-4 points ago

The American 'Office' is still not funny.
