Insidious Worm Makes Unauthorized Purchases When Computer User Is Drunk (new window)

I once bought a power washer from the Home Shopping Network at 3:30 in the morning....I lived in an apartment at the time.

The RIC-T? Nice.

Maybe we could substitute 'Resources' for 'Trends' and call it the RIC-R.

Me and Mrs. Nuisance were into our second bottle of wine one night, and heard an ad on TV about one of our favorite musicians, Nellie McCay, coming to town. But she was on a split bill, and we didn't care about the other act, and so we were all "Let's get online, and see where she's playing solo!"

So, after a bit of searching, and finding her on a bunch of split bills, we found a solo show and immediately bought tickets. ("She's playing in a bar! Small venue and tickets are eight bucks? We can't afford not to go!") and promptly went to bed.

We woke up the next morning, a little fuzzy about the details, so we checked our receipt. Yep, we'd bought tickets, to a solo show in a small bar.

In Toronto.

We live just outside DC.

We both had to take time off work, find a place to stay in Canada, figure out transportation, and petsitting... Turned into a five-day trip, a fantastic time and a great show, but those were the most expensive eight dollar concert tickets I've ever bought.

Pickle lip balm.....heh.

That's true of brick and mortar shopping too.


/what? you've never gone shopping after a few cosmos?

Wifey was a little tipsy and decided I needed to order her some stuff from Victoria's Secret the night before last. Who am I to say no? It was a fun night.

/the gift that keeps on giving

Alcohol isn't the only stupid maker.

Visit Silverton, Colorado some time. It's up about 9,300 feet, which is higher than the cabin pressure for the new Boeing jets. The tourist shops do a brisk business selling trinkets to oxygen deprived people. And no, they don't sell canned air.

Damn them for putting a Hooter's in my local mall. After a few 23oz beers I always end up in Hot Topic looking for Mega Man merchandise.

Actually trending shows that the hours (US Time zones) for prime shopping are between 7am and 8pm or so, and that is not a normal time for people to get drunk. If you want to talk globally, we need to account for region of the world and country, as well as cultural info.

/Yea, I do know what the hell I am talking about when it comes to online shopping.
//Works in ecomm, I see the actual data. Not this crap.

When you gota twaddle yer turnips, there is no other way...

What the Romero Institute of Consumer Trends might look like:

I for one am very fortunate that teh interwebs weren't invented when I was in my peak drinking cycle. I would still be digging out from under that credit card debt.

On the other hand, I would own a metric assload of cool shiat.

I get drunk and download songs on iTunes. Usually forget about them until they come up in the shuffle.

There are at least three FARK memes in the headline. Of course it's insta-green.

I'll leave you to noodle out a possible application for pickle lip balm. Half of it is a substitute for cat-butt lipstick.

dstanley: I'm not sure I could ever be drunk enough to order from the Fark shop.

there's a fark shop?

My kids got some awesome Christmas gifts this year when I was drinking on black Friday. Damn retailers for putting such good deals online.

Why is there no Romero tag?

Thousands of dollars were lost from doing this over the years.

The thing is, I always really like what I get. I just bought a radeon 6870 so I can play Skyrim better.

I really need to stay away from Amazon and Ebay. At least until I pay off my credit cards. I have enough to keep me occupied for the several months that is going to take.

What is this I don't even..

Yes, online retailers will put up some decent deals starting Thanksgiving and going through the next week. If you want to see the really good deals, give it a few days. As soon as the new year starts, the clock starts ticking on the books.

/As I stated above, yes I do know what the hell I am talking about.

It means I think everything looks great after I get a bit in me. $400 for a doily made from horse hair? That's a great idea!!!!!
