This Video Compares Black Friday Shopping From 1983 With Present Day

“Black Friday” comes earlier and earlier, it seems. Stores are opening at 6pm ON THANKSGIVING this year around. There’s people that have been camping out in front of stores. It never used to be like that. No sir. You’d drive around at a pleasant speed and maybe bump into people. You’d say, “Oh, excuse me,” or “Pardon me,” but not anymore. You tear your hair out looking for a parking spot, get into a verbal fight, then probably throw down somewhere in the electronics section somewhere. Something changed in the past 20 years and it’s probably (or most definitely) our unchecked consumerism.

A Guy Caught This Group Performing A Real Exorcism At A Local Starbucks Store

Your local Starbucks is probably a great place to meet with family, friends, or even your study group. But, there are certain things you just shouldn’t do at a public coffee shop. Getting into a loud, obnoxious fight with your significant other is frowned upon, for instance. Bringing in a pizza and chomping away on it is probably a bad idea, too (plus, you’re just taunting the baristas with food at that point). And performing an exorcism. That’s right out.

…Yet that’s exactly what one man in Austin, Texas witnessed when he visited his local Starbucks over the weekend.

The Reddit user who uploaded the video said that several bible study groups in the area meet at that Starbucks. The ritual may have been performed by one of them, but this wasn’t verified.

“This is the first time I’ve seen something like this though,” he wrote. “I watched for a while besides what’s on the video because at first I thought it was a joke, prank or film project — nope!”

The man who the exorcism is being performed on is seen on video spitting into a red cup, while the others in the group are praying for him. Real or not, this is a pretty intense video. Check out the full video of the alleged exorcism below:

H/T: Huffington Post

If you had asked me to list the names of places where I thought an exorcism might take place, I certainly would not have picked a Starbucks. (At least the coffee is good, and in ready supply in case the exorcism takes longer than expected.)

And if you’re ever feeling a little wonky at Starbucks, just remember…the power of Pumpkin Spice compels you!

Lane Bryant Shopper Let Her Dog Pee on Clothes

(JeepersMedia)

There are bad consumers, and then there are shoppers who allow their dogs to do their bathroom business inside the store. And we’re not talking a little “oops” of a light sprinkle, but New Jersey police say one Lane Bryant shopper let her little pet pee on $2,000 worth of store merchandise.Police are looking for a 35-year-old suspect who’s accused of allegedly allowing her pooch to tinkle on 14 dresses and 11 pairs of pants at a Lane Bryant store, reports the Smoking Gun.

Investigators say the woman and her dog entered the store on Monday afternoon, whereupon the canine went about urinating on the clothing, which totaled about $2,000 in soiled products.

That wasn’t cool with store personnel, who reportedly asked the woman to leave the store. She “became belligerent and refused,” the police report says, so workers called 9-1-1.

But before officers could nab the suspect, she drove off, running several red lights while police followed her. Cops called off the chase upon encountering a wet roadway, concerned that the chase could turn out dangerous for others.

The suspect was identified through her license plate and a physical description, and is now wanted on counts of eluding police and obstruction.
