Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now that the stomachs are stuffed and the birds are bygones, it’s time to get shopping.
Black Friday is officially in full bloom—in some places and at some stores, the “holiday” actually kicked off last night at 10pm—and all around the country, deals are getting made and many are saving money.
But at what cost? As a traversing through Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr shows, the fallout from Black Friday often involves way more than 30 percent saved on a TV. Fights are breaking out, kids are getting abandoned by their mothers, and folks are doing whatever they can to save a few bucks on bath towels.
In some cases, entire families are uprooting from their homes and setting up camp in store parking lots.
We scanned the depths of the Internet to find the most horrific examples of Black Friday brashness out there.
1) No chance this kid needs a vacuum cleaner.
2) Nobody likes Skechers shoes anyway.
3) Oceanside, Calif., native Mark Dice decided to spend the first few minutes of Black Friday ridiculing shoppers for “being the reason that Thanksgiving and holidays are being destroyed.”

4) Purchased: speakers, toaster oven, child.
5) Downright imperative that we get to the Walmart by midnight to save big on these towels.
6) Nobody’s as excited about saving as the good folks of Moultrie, Ga.
