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!

A Living Room Set Bought Online From Temu On Black Friday

pinkiebabi Report

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.

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!

Nhsunray Report

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?”

Sever safety issue? Edit: OH “severe safety issue” 😂 I was imagining knives cutting ropes, it’s been a long day.

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.”

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.

Isn’t the point of Black Friday to illuminate those in our society that think a quarter of something is more than 1/3???? It would track they wouldn’t have the cognitive abilities to actually read the tag then deduce its meaning.

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.

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.

This is about as honest & actual a discount on Black Friday as I’ve ever seen. Sure, the big box is giving 30% off, but they also marked it up by 40% a month or so earlier, making the great deal even more expensive than the 3% discounted price. That’s 100% how Black Friday works.

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.

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 😌

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!

Psa About Amazon Black Friday "Sales"

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. Remember: even if it is a super short term sale DO YOUR RESEARCH to avoid getting ripped off.

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.

You tried to show up obscenely early for a Black Friday sale, and you relied on AI to give you information about it. No soup for you.

Prices are just being set in the system, so when the page loads it’s still the previous price of 356CHF. But for Black Friday the price is set to 430, with a generous 50 off, so you can buy it for 380chf (1chf=1.1 USD)

This iPad Is Less Than $200 Today

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 ☺️

The Amazon App Quit Showing Prices. It Now Only Displays “Percent Off” Only

The Amazon App Quit Showing Prices. It Now Only Displays “Percent Off” Only

I’m not sure when they made this switch but they’re now only displaying the percent off of the list price instead of showing that AND any form of pricing. You are required to tap on an item to see what that “percent off” means.

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.
