While Black Friday shopping, you will see all kinds of people and events taking place. Here's a list of some of the things I have encountered over the years.

1. The new kid

You can always tell when it's someone's first time Black Friday shopping because they are way too excited and have too much energy.

2. The Crisis

There are tears in someone's eyes because they accidentally grabbed the wrong size, but didn't notice until they already left the store. Are they willing to wait in line again? Or hope the store will have their size next week when they come back to return it?

3. The Witness

The family member or friend that you bring with you to make sure you don't make unreasonable purchases.

4. The Support System

The family member or friend that you bring with you against their will.

5. The Boys

The only store that they came for is Nike hoping they can get a deal on new shoes, but instead they're there the whole night with sisters and girlfriends.

6. The Kids

People often make the mistake of bringing their kids Black Friday shopping. Not even 30 minutes into the night kids will start complaining and make their parents wait in line for pretzels. Next time, ask yourself if the deal on their new winter coat or favorite christmas gift is worth the effort?

7. The Food Court

The line might be full of families, but at the same time, you're thankful for the food court because you are running low on energy and need a late night snack.

8. The Cashier

You've stood in line for 30 min. to make your purchase while contemplating whether or not it was worth it. After waiting in line to get into the store, finally finding the perfect item and standing in another line to pay, you know that you must really want to buy it. But before you change your mind you hand the cashier your money.

9. The overly friendly worker

Then you meet the overly friendly worker. Don't they understand that it's 1 o'clock in the morning and you've got places to be and things to buy?

10. The Teenagers

I have stood in line countless times behind teenage girls who are more excited to say that they went Black Friday shopping than the money their parents are about to save. Their conversations always consist of the newest drama or what they're going to buy the guy they've been dating for two months for Christmas. I wish I could say I was never that girl, but that'd be a lie.

11. When you're done shopping and you realize you have $.05 to your name.

For me, this year wasn't a huge spending year. I made purchases that I'm very proud of and didn't spend an extreme amount of money doing so. At the same time, I didn't buy as much this Black Friday as I usually do because some of the stores seemed already picked over by 12:00 a.m. Some people on the other hand, will wake up the next day disappointed in their bank accounts.

12. The Parking Lot

There hasn't been a Black Friday shopping experience where I didn't blow my horn in the parking lot. If my blinker is on I plan on taking the spot whether it's in the front row or farthest from the store. People who try to whip in parking spots that are not rightfully theirs are the ones who cause accidents.

13. The Critic

The person who keeps telling you to just wait for Cyber Monday for deals. My purpose is to save money, not spend it on shipping and handling fees.

At the end of the day if you're still smiling than you've accomplished your goal.
