One of my Filipino friends posted this on Facebook as a response to all the TP hoarding craziness:

My roommate whined when I ordered 3 packs of double size TP (12 rolls for each pack) from Amazon last year when they were on sale. He is not saying a word now because he may need them sooner than later if this virus thing is getting worse.

I also have plenty of can foods (different variety and flavor) in the kitchen cabinets plus water bottles and bags of rice so I am good for a long while. Will have to check my Brita pitcher and the filters later this week, they have been in storage.


Not a prepper by any mean but they sure are laughing at us regular folks now.

I'm pretty sure people are panic buying just because other people are panic buying.

Yeah thats the real issue. Panic over panic, and its dangerous.

One of the fuel crisis of the 70's was caused not by lack of oil, but perceived lack of oil, and thats why people were lined up at gas stations. It eventually created a genuine gas crisis.

The way people are acting, I’m surprised we’ve not already advanced to cannibalism yet, like Danny McBride in “This is the End”.

I might start stealing toilet paper rolls from the bathrooms at work. They're single-ply, but people will buy anything these days. :cool:

Wife was our casually shopping with her mom, 0 TP at Giant, Sam's, and Target. (they went to Sam's first and then stopped by the others on the way home just to see what was going on) No bread at Sam's. No bread or pasta at Giant. Wtf people?

I bought TP from Amazon on sale in November and still have a ton left. Do many Americans shit all day?
