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!

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.

So Much To Unpack Here

So Much To Unpack Here

It’s mildly infuriating that companies are starting Black Friday in early November (this one was November 8th).

It’s also annoying that they call this a “leak”.

I knows it’s just corporations being corporate… but this is just stupid.

2 3 "On Sale" At Shopko

I'm sure ShopKo (west-coast, northWest, chain department store...kind of like Target-lite) isn't the only chain to jack up prices and then advertise massive "sales." But this version was pretty egregious.

Goat Scammed Me For 100 Dollars In The Black Friday Event

Goat Scammed Me For 100 Dollars In The Black Friday Event

So I “won” the ability to purchase a pair of “New” dunks with a box in “Good” condition during the black friday event. I spent 101 dollars on this pair that was, once again, listed as NEW. 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?
