USB Panic Button

You know how it goes - you've just surfed to your favourite holiday booking site and found the perfect 2 bedroom beachfront apartment stay for an absolute bargain price...Or, you're watching the last 3 minutes of your online bid for Red Hot Chilli Pepper tickets - and then all of a sudden from over your shoulder comes the familiar voice of your boss "What are you working on?"

You panic...You scramble for the mouse and start clicking, randomly and franticly, to hide the evidence, all the while stuttering "I..um..yes...sorry...what was that?" Nice work, by this stage you're blushing as red as a beetroot whilst spouting random gibberish in a lame effort to cover your tracks. Now the game is up and you've lost the Chilli Peppers tickets.

You now have two choices – start toeing the line (yeah right) or grab yourself a USB Panic Button – the latest and greatest gadget for goofing off.

Here's how it works (when you're not). Plug it into your USB port, and then – well actually, then nothing. It's that simple. As soon as you next hear those menacing footsteps approaching, just hit the big red button and instantly up pops a boring but believable document. Even better – you can choose your own personalised document, to suit your line of work. It definitely gives a new meaning to screen saver!

With it's big red button, yellow and black casing and Perspex cover – it looks suspiciously like "THE" button – the one that could end the world (or at least end yours, if you don't hit it fast enough!)

But if you really enjoy that element of danger – see how long you can leave it, before you chicken out.

The USB Panic Button – makes the perfect gift for the serial slacker – so get in and order it now (go on - no one's watching are they?).

Product Specification
