Anyone besides me remember when a holiday meant planning ahead? It was up to you to fill the car with gas the day before, as gas stations were closed..as were grocery stores. No one was outraged by this behavior, that's just how it was.
I think a great deal of folks in today's "instant gratification" society would be totally shocked by being forced to wait until the holiday was over, and things returned to normal, before being able to do/get what they wanted.
Including many of those people on internet forums.
