Whats with the run on TP?

[stomachmonkey]

Among other things I get TP delivery from Amazon on the regular.

Already had a nice stockpile.

We just returned from a run to Sam's. Primary we go for fruit. I needed a case of the blue shop paper towels so I went down the cleaning supplies aisle. I got the blue shop towels, but it was amazing to see huge areas with no product. There was not a drop of Clorox, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes or any of that type of product.

We got our fruit, and I even got some Sumo oranges, one of my favorites.

It was the cycle for a new batch of t-paper for us. We would not have enough to last until our next regular trip to Sam's. That was in plentiful supply, so we are stocked up for many months.

I don’t get the hand sanitizer or water shortage. Soap still works fine and there’s no reason the taps would run dry. People are confusing.

I picked up a pack of Northern TP, just like the auctioned, and I thought I played too much at $17, but I'm almost out, so there you go.

It is because people watch too much TV.




As long as the zombies are not vectors for the Kung Flu, it will be fine.

[Sooner or later]

I just bought a couple of packages of disinfectant wipes. Shelf was half full. Didn't need TP but shelves were full and several end cap displays full.

This.

They don’t call it “the idiot box” for nothing.

The hysteria is ridiculous and reinforces my already long-standing belief that most people are either idiots or sheep led around by mass media, or both.

It’s quite disheartening really.

Women.

That's the reason.

Brilliant! Stocking up for when the sh.t hits the fan!!... and the carpeting... and the walls... Cleanup in isle three!!

I have a male employee who uses a metric sh!!t ton of toilet paper. I know because he started using my office restroom. He would leave it messy with piss on the floor, pubes on the bowl, and water everywhere after he left. I totally banned him not only from my restroom, but my office completely. TP started lasting twice or three times as long, and stays clean. Only me and 2 other people use it, one being female. Otherwise I was going to put a biometric lock on the door.

If there were anti hoarding laws there would be no need to price gouging laws....

When TP is currency... things have really gone to sh.t

Since everyone has gone healthy, cigs aren't a currency anymore.

Thinking a bit more on this I think my plan C after the shirts run out is to just do what my dogs do and drag my ass across the carpet or lawn. I figure if I do it out on the lawn it'll give the neighbor a good laugh while they're quarantined.
