Ok, probably not the 4th one, but what the hell. Sort of inspired by Ms NY's thread, this is a question I thought to myself many years ago, and it's stuck in my head since.

You wake up one morning, and discover every human being has disappeared. Everything thing is in tact, and as it was. Apart from the fact everybody's disappeared that is.
So. What's the first thing(s) you do? In order. Lets say 3 at max.
Oh, and we'll just say you've woken up whereever you wanted to be, to skip the pointless arguments of "Ah, but how would you get to Italy if you don't know how to fly a plane?". Unless part of it was sailing a huge yacht to whereever.
Go go go.

There's a device that can bring anyone, whether it be a fictional character from your mind (the perfect woman, a butler etc), or someone you knew.
BAH.
BAH.

Hunk/servant/cook/slave/sex slave/ all in one! Fantabulous.
Once a year? How long does it last for ?

I like the post apocalyptic films that show this kinda stuff - 28 days later, the omega man, stephen kings the stand etc etc.
although food soon rots, so you'd either have to start growing your own crops/slaughtering and processing your own animals, or eat out of tins and packets for the rest of your life.
so going out shooting cattle with a 12 bore shotgun would be a regular thing too.

That'd be pretty! Haha!
Do you think all the petrol in the world would last a life-time for one person, though? Say, 60 years?
Imagine that, travelling all the way to one country, filling up cans and cans of the stuff and taking it back 'home'. Then repeat. You think that'd last. It'd all run out by the time you'd get back to where you live. Might as well be a traveller if you wanted to use your car a lot. Or just walk. So there's one downside!
But you said unlimited, so that rules!

Oh, and there's one thing I purposely missed out from the original situation.
There's a device that can bring anyone, whether it be a fictional character from your mind (the perfect woman, a butler etc)
But you can only use it, I dunno, once a year?
Yeah.

Heh.
We'll also just say there's unlimited petrol from the pumps etc.
:D
One thing I'd certainly do is spray a petrol station in petrol/diesel from it's own pumps, make a trail safely to a distance, and light it.
What a show that'd be.

Mine too. It'd be a dream.. but it would soon get boring. Maybe.
Will try to keep this as real as possible.
1. Drive in someone else's flashy convertable, on the wrong side of the road, with music blasting out, to the nearest supermarket; Sainsbury's. Doesn't matter if I crash, assuming I live, I'll just take another car. Take 100 chicken salad sandwiches, plenty of Coke and all/lots of CDs. Get petrol at Sainsbury's station. Take all the cigarettes and happily feel like a thief.
2. Break in to the nearest bank, Lloyds. Break into the safe somehow and take all the money. Everything might go back to normal one day, if so, I'd be rich. Go to the other nearest banks and repeat. Mm.
3. Somehow get to America, live in a mansion. Drive there? Haha. Gotta be possible. Learn how to sail a boat? Happy. Steal all sorts of entertainment. Hm.. how would I hire someone to install a cinema, bowling alley, ice-skating, etc into my home?! Guess I'd have to steal some books to learn!
Man, that is so depressing! I think I would manage not making babies with another person for the rest of my life just as long as I have the other essentials.

I'd wake up, Make a coffee, sit back, drink then get into a car.
Drive down to town, Steal as many CD's/Books/Games/Kit as I can, drive home and entertain myself for a few days.

but you know it'd get lonely very quickly.
of course, beer would fix that problem.
