I shopped at Toys R Us on Black Friday once- an experience I will never forget. It was an absolute mad house- barely room to move. I accidentally bumped into someone and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry." She looked at me, smiled and said, "You're still apologizing. You obviously just got here."

I used to work at a 🎯 service desk, and once had someone try to return a huge Lego set and when she handed it to me it just sounded like loose Legos. It was policy to open it (if it was an opened item) just to make sure everything was in there, and they had put CAT FOOD inside to make it sound like the Legos were in it. 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️ People are wild.

Life IS such a blur! My first born just graduated from high school last week and I feel like I slept through her life. I didn’t. I was/ still am so involved in every aspect of both my kids lives, but it goes so quickly that it just feels like I missed it. 😢 I’ve cried. I’ve rejoiced. I’ve cried some more. She is leaving home in August for university and I know I’ll cry A LOT then. But everyone keeps telling me, “they always come home.” I’m really counting on that. I’m so glad we had our kids 5 years apart because we still have our “baby” at home. Sure he’s 13 years old and 6 feet tall, but he’s still the baby! 😅😂

Make sure you add exact amount of water it asks for into the diffuser.. one time I couldn't get mine to diffuse and was losing my mind until I read the description( have no clue how I had those still around lol) and well it said there to put water exactly to the fill line or it won’t diffuse, so that solved for me, hopefully you can fix your cute diffuser as well!!

Out of all the KZfaqers I watch, I think I like you the best particularly in this video. Because when you're cleaning you do not tell people what you're doing because we can obviously see what you're doing. I hate when I watch a youtuber, and when they're cleaning they explain to us what we're doing when we can obviously see what they're doing.

My sister and I used to be pros at Black Friday shopping. Remember the Cabbage Patch Dolls mania from the early 80’s? I went to Sears and stood in a crowd at the auto repair center (the warehouse was back there) as an employee from behind the counter tossed these dolls out to the crowd. I’m surprised I wasn’t trampled. Luckily I was tall, and could catch them. And if you got one you didn’t want, you just tossed it back to someone else. I bought 6 of those dolls that year. (Not all at once). But every niece and nephew got one for Christmas. And yes, Toys R Us would give you big black trash bags to fill and I’d drag it behind me. We had to go up and down each isle in order, no going to whatever isle you wanted. If there was something you wanted in that isle, you got it as you walked by. And you kept going until you walked every isle and then got to the check out. I wouldn’t do it now, but boy did I look forward to that day every year!

My favorite return story is when after I just got married, we got a new duvet comforter and my husband threw it up on the couch not realizing there was a candle behind the couch and it caught on fire. 🔥 It was brand new! He took it back to the store and exchanged it. I still can't believe they took it 😅. It was at bed bath and beyond.

My top “return” story is, I bought a blanket that I ended up wanting to return bc I found a better print. It sat in my car for 1.5 years. The very sad thing is, I worked at the store I needed to return it to. Needless to say I ended up gifting it 6 months later for a Christmas present.

Black Friday when the BIG sales were only on Friday: the stores were advertise ridiculous sales and say “only 5 available , only 6 available, only 10 available and even 1 or 2 available”, that’s why we stood in line at 5am! Sometimes we still didn’t get the deal!

Cleaning one room at a time is the best way to go. Multiple tasks are always easier if you deal with them individually. Working at Toys R Us must have been a trip!

I was a returns inspector at Blair (they use to be a flyer in your Sunday Coupon section for mail-ins years ago) up in PA during my summer breaks. They had an open returns policy and the things I got to inspect! Wowza. I had boots that clearly went thru a muddy field, shirt with actual fabric cut out of the back, and so so much more. Blair still took it all back.

Yeah, I agree that it's less exciting that 'everything' is like instantly accessible now, instead of having to wait for it. I felt like it made you want the item even more if you had to wait for it to come. Also, I had to work Black Friday too when I worked at The Limited (a clothing store...I don't think they're around anymore either). I was a little older, I think I was 20, but I worked from midnight until 7 am.
