Late night shopping.
Not quite a social networking gaff. But let me tell you this: There is nothing, and I mean nothing worse than waking up with a stinking hangover to find your credit card left on your keyboard.

2 weeks later, two replica samurai swords from China? WTF!

LOL
I know the feeling. I ended up with the whole of series two of 'Whose the boss?' on vhs.

EDIT: I have never even seen it before either. And I still haven't.

RE:
I fell victim to this 2 nights ago. Apparently I'm expecting a hookah and several kind of shisha tobacco. Could do worse I suppose.

I always know when I've done this because a credit card fits so nicely behind the Function keys!

Even worse....
Is when you wake up with ALL your credit and bank cards on your keyboard and an Icon for pokerstars has appeared on your desktop that wasnt there the night before.... Im not even good at poker when Im sober.

That was £250 well spent.....

ah dont go there,
getting stonned, listening to some random winamp radio station and loving every tune that comes on.

two weeks later piles of CD's begin to arrive from all around the world.

Yes you dickhed, you were listening to some world service, hearing tunes and then buying albums thinking you've just bought the best collection of tunes EVER.

hmmm, samurai swords
One night I bought 60 on ebay. Individually. I mean, they were just amazing, REAL (I actually believe this) japanese samurai swords, ivory handles, sharksin scabbards, works of art. Beautiful, and all for the amazing buy-it now price of about ten dollars each.

Total fucking bargain.

The next day, the guy wants about ten thousand dollars to ship them.

Hey-ho 60 negative reports on my very precious and completely pristine ebay account... oh FFS...

BLOTO
I heard someone describe drunken internet shopping as this a couple of years ago;

Buying Lots Of Tat On-line

Which is probably a good description of my purchase of sturdy boots and camoflage clothing. It was supposedly to wear on a safari to Kenya. A safari sat on a white minibus with all the other tourists.
