Panic BuyingIt's the last shopping day before the whole country shuts down for christmas. You've been looking all over for something, anything, to buy your favourite person. Something that says you care, that makes them see you in a new light.
Well, something that won't make them punch you would do. My brother-in-law once bought his wife a bin for her birthday - it was a very nice bin, but boy was he in the crud for days.
What have you bought in sheer panic and desperation? Go on, you know you do it every year.

wowit seems half the people posting on this QOTW read it as "what shit presents have you bought your friends / family?". That QOTW would be here: www.b3ta.com/questions/presents/
Ah well.
Only thing i've ever panic bought is a whole assload of rice when i got to uni. Good thing too, it's all i have left for the forseeable future.
Oh and I am determined to start a panic buy of some random arbitrary item with my mate. We think greetings cards will do. So we plan to save up literally (hundreds of) pounds and buy every card in every shop in this damn town. Even the ones they keep back in the stock room, we'll demand they sell us those too.
As we do this we shall run around screaming that everywhere is out of cards and we'd better buy as many as possible.
We also think doing this right in the middle of summer when absolutely no holidays are approaching will just complete the effect.
