bagatelle

Depends a bit on how the others would vanish and would there be bodies lying around everywhere.

If everyone else disappeared just like that, at first I'd find the solitude very welcome. As long as there would be internet still working, I'd browse, watch tv, films, read... Eventually I'd go crazy probably, because noone would ever reply to me again. I'd start talking to myself.

I could starve or freeze to death later, never believing though, I was the last person alive...

I would spend my time rebuilding Stone Henge, the Great Pyramids, Mayan Temples and the other great mysteries of the world. While laugh aloud at the imagined looks on the faces of those who discover them. Them break down and cry after realizing evolution takes millions of years by which time all my creations would be gone.

step one, insure my survival by gathering food, medical supplies, weapons for use against predatory animals, and transportation- then I would do all the assorted generally socially unacceptable things we all want to do, for example I especially liked the snooping on people idea.... then once that was out of my system, I would look for all the secret gov. labs to hopefully find either a means to travel out of the solar system rapidly enough to find other life ( so I would hope we already had and they were just not telling anyone) or some means to clone and restart the human race.... both unlikely and farfetched, but what else am I gonna do......

My passion in life is family, and business - without people I would have neither. I suppose I'd have to meditate quite a lot to figure out what to do with myself. Honestly without a purpose in life, and nobody to share life with - is there meaning?

If everyone else was dead or gone or both why would you care about snooping on them?

Curiosity is a powerful thing, and the ability to satisfy that curiosity without consequence...well, it seems like a legitimate answer to me. Hell, I'd probably indulge in a bit of snooping myself.

Now, it seems to me that I would do the following:
1) Establish myself in a largish facility, preferably with a garage bay (like a Walmart).
2) Grab a large panel truck from a dealer.
3) Loot an automotive store for tires for it, as well as oil and other fluids.
4) Get to the library and grab a bunch of texts on auto repair, survival, farming, canning/preserving, hunting, medicine, and gun repair/ammo.
5) Go to the local guns and ammo stores and loot like a sonofabitch.
6) Go to as many pharmacies as I can. Loot medical supplies like a sonofabitch.
7) Go to the local groceries, convenience stores, etc., and loot all of the canned foodstuffs, pop, beer, bottled water. Grab other food items that can last for a reasonable time as well.
8) Loot the local ag-stores for seed, tools, rototillers, etc.
9) Map out the local fruit orchards, berry farms, etc., for harvesting when they come due.
9) Map out the local farms, and monitor them to see what - if any - food crops they might still be producing. Also, use those farms as hunting/trapping locations.
10) Find some land near to my compound, clear it, and plant food crops.
11) Once established, take the truck to a larger city and use the Yellow Pages to find businesses that sold solar and/or wind generation equipment. Loot those businesses so I can have enough replacement tech on hand to generate throughout the remainder of my life.
12) Look for similar businesses that sell batteries that can store that generated power. Loot like a sonofabitch.
13) Install my wind/solar generation equipment. Install batteries.
14) Once I have accumulated the "necessities", acquire alternate modes of travel: a hybrid maybe, a decent motorcycle (not a street bike), some good mountain bikes.

All of that might take a year or so. Once I am settled, I might actually travel a bit, in the hopes of finding others. At some point, however, I expect that I would become lonely, frustrated, angry - and that might lead me to thoughts of suicide. I know how much of a coward I am though, so I would probably tough it out until I got sick and died, got injured and died, or just plain old died.
