Ken Gargett Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Drunk man accidentally buys a peacock, giant salamander and pig 14th November, 2018 by Lauren Eads A man fell foul to a spot of overzealous online shopping on China’s Singles Day – a Black Friday frenzy for single shoppers – waking from a drunken stupor to discover he had accidentally purchased a live pig, peacock and giant salamander. A giant salamander The unidentified man’s unfortunate purchases were shared on Weibo by the user Puzhexu on Monday, and gained nearly 10,000 likes and comments, as well as more than 14,000 reposts on the platform. As reported by the South China Morning Post, the post, written in Chinese, read: “In the early hours of yesterday morning, when I was drunk, I clicked on Taobao and started shopping … All along I thought I had only bought two sets of clothes,” the man wrote. “I suddenly remembered to look up the delivery date of my clothes, and realised I had also bought a pig and a peacock.” A later post from the man claims he also accidentally bought a live giant salamander on JD.com, another Chinese e-commerce platform similar to Taobao. The man attached screenshots of the “extremely adorable Thai mini pig” which cost him 278 yuan ($40), the live blue peacock that came up to 390 yuan (about $56), and the giant salamander that cost 288 yuan (about $41). Singles’ Day is a 24-hour annual shopping event, similar to Black Friday in the US, created by e-commerce giant Alibaba 10 years ago as a counter to Valentine’s Day 1 2
ac031898 Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 To be honest, that’s a pretty good deal for a peacock. Just sayin... 4
Ken Gargett Posted November 15, 2018 Author Posted November 15, 2018 what staggered me was that it was that easy to buy a giant salamander and that cheap.
MikeinKS Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 I’d love to check my email in the morning and see one from Diana saying, “You have yourself a live pig, a peacock and a giant salamander.” Thank goodness the 24:24 comes in the early evening for me, or who knows what I’d end up with!
MD Puffer Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Drunk my ass. That's a obvious case of Ambien-shopping. 1

Akela3rd Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 I thought drunk buying some HQ Lusitanias was bad, I need to up my game... I don't drink and blamed second-night insomnia on my Lusi purchase. I also researched edible insects (ants are $90 per kilo BTW)... Sent from my ActionMan walkie-talkie
