With great discounts comes fades, trampling and full-on mayhem as people fight over the last television down or a toaster oven. While the day has taken a backseat in favor of folks sitting home and completing their holiday shopping safely on the internet, there are still some who will venture out immediately after their Thanksgiving meals in hopes of landing that highly sought after gift for a great price.
In honor of the day Twitter users made sure to reflect on the turmoil that day usually brings by sharing videos and photos from shopping malls, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and wherever folks like to do their Black Friday shopping. If these don’t scare you out of risking it all to get a PlayStation 4 on sale nothing will.
Hit the gallery below to see the madness that accompanies the doorbuster sales that Black Friday brings every year.

This one is spectacular. There is so much pressure from people being pushed on the entrance of the store that they have employees trying to keep the glass panes in place. Who do you think will win this battle? pic.twitter.com/fohJ1c62zD
