The UK, like many parts of the world, is currently on lockdown - the country's third one to be precise.

Lockdown after lockdown, you'd think people would have gotten out of their panic-buying habits, which many countries contended with as part of their own respective lockdowns.

But one man is being accused of taking part in the panic-buying phenomenon after posting a very lengthy grocery receipt to his TikTok account.

He captioned the video: "Most men in the UK will understand."

The man adds: "When the wife says she needs a 'lockdown shop'."

In the video, the camera pans down the list of shopping items to the Star Wars famous theme song.

This man was blasted as "selfish" after posting receipt of "lockdown shop":

A number of people have since taken to the comments to slam the man's supposedly selfish actions.

One concerned person suggested: "That'll be all the wee pensioners going without now that the panic buying has commenced."

Another commenter said: "Lucky for those who can afford excessive shopping.. Nice of them to be thoughtful and empty the shelves for those who can't."

A third said: "Selfish comes to mind glad we are thinking of others during the pandemic."

However, not everyone was outraged by what was simply a family's weekly shopping receipt - with a bit of humor mixed in.

One person said: "Omg its [sic] pretty obvious most commenters don't shop for a family if they think this is stockpiling. That lot wouldn't make a dent in Tesco."

Another commented: "Yeah plus it's better to do a big shop than several smaller shops which involve more trips to Tesco and more potential contact with the virus."

A third wrote: "Comments didn't pass the vibe check literally someone's weekly shopping."

The TikToker who made the video has since taken to the comments to defend the lengthy shopping items, writing: "Show me the panic buying? That's a family shop to last 4/5 days idiot! We're a big family stuck in the house... need plenty of snacks."
