Woman trampled in Wal-Mart

Did you see this story??

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ampled_shopper


And Wal-Mart offered to hold a DVD player for her, how nice.

People are so incredibly stupid.

As someone who worked in retail for years, I can tell you that some people will do ANYTHING to get a bargain.

I never venture out on this weekend. I don't wanna get beat up, or beat someone up (someone WOULD inevitably piss me off too much). :p

I hope she's ok.

Yes people will cue for hours to get something cheap, me I cannot be bothered, and I hate crowds anyhow, I remember when teletubbies first came out, they cued for hours to get them, silly really, they soon become ole hat, even playstation 2 people cued, they retailed at 1200 dollars ,now you can pick them up brand new for 349, crazy huh.

I am sorry, but I can't help but laugh. It is so true, too! People are psycho! She's gonna get alot more though Walmart then a dvd player!

Tonya,
I giggled too when I first read it--I hope she is alright though.

Carole--
something interesting in what you wrote--cue--that means a line, correct?
My friend's boyfriend's mother is visiting from Turkey, and she asked a waitress at a restaurant if there was a cue still at the door. That was the first I've heard it!!

People behave like it's the last product on earth when at the sales, yet, they keep going back ...

I hope the woman will be ok.
I think Wal Mart should have been better
prepared.
I hate crowds too, I rather pay a few bucks more than
get my blood pressure up.

I think if you're going to Walmart on Black Friday morning to wait in line to get one of maybe, 50?, DVD players that are advertised for $29.00, YOU should be prepared to be trampled!

that's discusting...
i mean how can people care more about saving a couple bucks than another humanbeing?
but i don't think it was wal-marts fault.
those people are like cattle. but i guess it was fnny if she's goign to be ok.:)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! *SNORT*

WAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Moooo!!! Bleat bleat MOOO!!!! Must... GET... DVD PLAYER!!!!

Oh man I needed that laugh.

I do hope she's ok though. But that's DAMN funny.

I went to Target first. There were like 3 gazillion carts, yet all these people insisted on running to them and pushing and shoving. It is so irritating!

Absolutely. Everyone knows what the day after Thanksgiving is like, and everyone has heard these kind of stories before: people getting beat up, bones broken, hair pulled out. How could we forget cabbage Patch Kids, Tickle Me Elmo, etc? It's not like this hasn't happened before, that it's some big secret. If someone is STILL stupid enough to be the first one in line at 6:00 am at Walmart, ready to run to the $29 DVD players .... well, I hope she's ok, but really, it's her own fault.

I was disgusted when I heard about that. Just gives me one more reason to hate most of the human race. I hate pushy shovey people. Bah.....

And WE are supposed to be the superior animals? AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Edit: I really am glad that she's all right.... Poor woman.

That is so crazy! And I had to laugh that Wal Mart offered to put one on hold for her, instead of giving her one.
