1. I'm buying art if I buy anything
There's a huge show here and I go every year. Retail? Forget it.

2. I've always disobeyed, then.
I hate shopping - mostly because I find other shoppers so rude - so you would catch me dead in a shopper-crowed Black Friday store.

7. It's like a vegan boycotting a steakhouse.
You couldn't pay me to go shopping alongside the insane mobs...

8. Shopping on November 26th is my idea of absolute hell.
There are stores in NY opening at 3am in the MORNING. What a sick society we live in. I can't believe anybody needs anything that much (unless it's food, shelter or healthcare - none of which unfortunately are being marked down for the holidays). I don't even think I am going to leave my apartment, the whole spectacle makes me physically ill.

9. Try working on that day.
Between that, Pokemon night, and the midnight Harry Potter unveiling (complete with soccer moms getting into tugging matches over the last book on the shelf), I'll starve in the street before I ever work retail again.
