Since when did Boxing DAY become a WEEK? I thought that if I avoided Boxing Day but hit the mall later in the week, it would be ok. NOPE. I can’t believe that people shop so much before Christmas and then shop some more right afterwards. Yay consumerism!!! It was a nuthouse at the mall. I think shoppers are almost MORE rude than before Christmas. I know, crazy but true.
The games of hardcore Sidewalk Chicken were rampant. Hardcore means that collisions are sure to happen, because EVERYONE expects YOU to move. In fact, they are so sure you’ll move that they don’t even bother to watch where they’re going. Another variation of the game is what I’d call Bumper Carts. This is where people who need to get by just bump you out of the way. They can come at you from any angle, you have to keep your wits about you. And watch out if she’s got kids and a cart, then she’s also got motivation and a weapon to get you the hell out of her way.
The deals were worth it in the end (even after sifting through piles and piles of smalls and extra smalls before I found my size). I just needed to gobble down a few jugs of patience beforehand (and about every 15 minutes) and hope for the best (aka: a parking spot).
