The Hoarding of Toilet Paper

pistola
Keepin' it 💯
I don’t get it. How many shits are people planing on taking if they have to hunker down for a month or two? Unless you’ve a legit bunker or safe house with the ability to live for a year or more, I don’t see the point in overstocking. Chances are you’re going to run out of something and you can pick up more TP when you make a quick trip to the store. Also, do people not have washcloths? Worst case you wipe your ass with a wet washcloth or dishrag and do laundry more often. Also, when I went to the store today, there was no TP, no ice, no paper towels, yet I easily found a replacement air filter for my air conditioning unit. How many of you hoarders haven’t changed your dirty air filter? Well, now that I said it maybe you TP hoarders can make a makeshift one with the 300 rolls of Charmin you have stored up. This is how you know America is dumb, it’s an airborne virus - not a hurricane where travel may be impossible.

Ps - so glad that wall is being built, it’s more than for just immigration yo. If I have to explain it to you, you probably own a lot of TP right now,

Spend $30 on an install-yourself bidet and be done with it, retards. Your ass will be cleaner anyway.

Oh yeah, based on how they're buying up pallets of water bottles, the retards think the Rona gonna make all the water disappear, too.

Do those suffering with corona, use toilet paper at an unusually high rate? Runny nose? Diarrhea?

It's not just toilet paper and water either. Dry goods, like pasta, and cheap meats are also flying off the shelves in our local stores.

Pistola, if I was a single guy I would wing it too. But with kids it's a different ballgame. The irritating part of this is that, once the hoarding starts, others are compelled to follow suit or risk running out of necessary supplies.

For example, kids medicines have been almost out of stock for two weeks in our local stores. So each time I go to the store and see them in stock, I grab some for fear that they won't be their when I actually need them. Same thing with toilet paper and bleach cleaners over the past week and today none could be found within 50 miles.

But here in N. Florida, food wasn't a big issue until today. People were buying 10-20 boxes of pasta at a time, among many other dry goods. Once again it forces others to follow suit or risk not being able to get this stuff for days or weeks to come. And good luck finding a package of chicken anywhere since about noon today. I also heard that milk and eggs were getting run on.

Now I saw this coming for some time, so I was slowing building up the meat freezer over the past week and my wife has been doing the same with the pantry and fridge. We could probably go 6-8 weeks now without buying groceries if we had to. But for people who were not looking ahead or who simply couldn't afford to stock up like that, it has to be scary right now.

I actually think part of the run on goods is that kids are not going to school and parents are sticking up to feed them, etc.

I'm so happy I coincidentally got one 18 pack (and one 9 pack for the guest bathroom) of tp before this chaos even went beyond China. Given that I live alone I use it very frugally, especially since I'm out of my apartment 80% of the time.

It's the food I'm mildly concerned about. I eat out all the time, hence I rarely grocery shop.

The greed and selfishness of American shoppers is disgraceful. The survivalists weren't nuts; they had their fellow citizens pegged. The wealthier the community, the more disgraceful behavior, based on 5 hour 420 drive fest yesterday.

Media driven Hysteria and generally the American public ain't too bright. Hoarding water as if tap water cant be boiled, rich get richer.

Hahaha why are people hating the hoarders? They got ahead of this and they prepared and you’re too late. In Cali, bars are closed, 50+ gatherings are a no no, guess what’s next? Restaurants then supermarkets. Hoarders have done it right while people were mocking them. Now you’re mad at them? Hahaha

That's people being selfish and self-serving at the expense of others - it's ok to maybe by 2x or 3x what you normally buy (e.g. by 2 maybe 3 packs of TP when you normally buy 1) - but buying for a year or more is just being a selfish dickwad - then there are people who get scared and think that is one what is supposed to do.

Hoarders haven't "done it right". They're panic-buying way more than they need, and very often nonsensical things (newsflash: your water isn't going to get turned off due to coronavirus; you don't need 6 cases of bottled water), and for no reason other than blind panic and stupidity, fucking everyone else over.

To me, everyone who is smart (including me) saw exactly what was coming months ago, and did what I think is rational preparation -- supplies in case you need to self-quarantine for a month or two, especially given that it was obvious that once the retards woke up, they'd panic-buy everything in site. That's who "did it right". Other than that, we have various flavors of retards: 1. retarded panic-buyers of pallets of water for no reason, and a year's worth of toilet paper, 2. retards who denied this whole thing was ever going to happen even though it was excruciatingly obvious it was, 3. retards who just decided to be contrary on the internet because that's always the cool position to take.

If you have weapons you can just look at hoarders as people nice enough to buy you things and transport them for you.
rickdugan

^ Unless of course the hoarders have weapons too. Good luck trying to break into a home in N. FL to take someone else's food. Here we have the Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground, which means that we can put a burglar in a body bag with little fear of repercussions.

Why are you apes so obsessed with wiping your asses anyway? You’re damn dirty apes just live with dirty asses ferchrissake!

I mean really... my brother from an ape mother (the dugan) is a classy ape so he’ll find a way to keep his ass clean even if there is a prolonged toilet paper shortage. Like maybe stepping into the shower for a spritz.

But the rest of you apes are disgusting. Walking around smelling like shit isn’t going to change things.

I think the appropriate punishment for these TP hoarders is to wipe the asses of the customers at Macdonalds for 3 months.

Things are getting crazy.

I’m in the NYC area, and it’s crazy how folks are hoarding the tp. I think people feel this is something they can’t control, and they are searching for things that make them feel a little more in control? So if they buy enough tp and bottled water to get through a few months, maybe that gives them peace of mind?
Subraman

Cash: yep, needing to feel like they're more in control is my guess, too. These are people who have been sleepwalking through this whole thing, who suddenly wake up, panic, throw rationality out the window, and need to take some sort of action even if it's nonsensical. That's the only thing that can explain the completely unnecessary panic-buying of all those water bottles. It's a security blanket for the dopey
Cashman1234

Subra I think that’s a big part of it. Also, in this area (NYC), folks have the money to buy this shit and not worry about the cost. I think that contributes to it too.

I spoke with a buddy, and his wife went to Costco and spent over $1,500 so they now have a 4 month supply of TP and PT (paper towels). It seems over the top, but who knows, maybe there was a CrazyJoe sighting in a McDonalds on the LIE!

$1500 bought them only 4 months of TP? Do they shit like 12 times a day or something????
