I have learned new holiday shopping lingo this week!
As you know, yesterday was ‘Cyber Monday,’ when all the online shopping portals featured fabulous one-day sales and deals.
Did you take advantage? Shop much and save big? No?!?
If you didn’t take advantage of yesterday’s Cyber Monday savings, you may experience ‘Tuesday Regrets’. (I heard this on a TV ad, so you know it must be true.)
Which leads one to surmise….
If your ‘Tuesday Regrets’ are not quickly treated — with a dose of online (or over-the-counter) retail therapy — you might find yourself sinking into the ‘Wednesday Despairs’, followed by a rapid downward spiral into the ‘Thursday Self-Loathings’. (Sufferers are encouraged to avoid “Grey’s Anatomy”, which can exacerbate existing symptoms.)
If conditions persist, ‘Black Friday’ may return, but not the day shoppers fondly recall. While they may experience a renewed urge to purchase, they will find no day-after-Thanksgiving specials, which can lead to disorientation, disappointment and severe depression.
‘Suicidal Thoughts Saturday’ can then last up to 24 hours, but typically is cut short.
Happy shopping!
