It's because they are anticipating the shortage and buying it up, actually creating the shortage. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
Same thing that happened with 22 long rifle ammo a few years back: shortages from an ever-increasing surge of demand is exacerbated by the hoarders; which is further exacerbated by other people hearing of the hoarding, which results in those people making a mad dash to get their own.

And today? Today those same jackasses have more 22 lr ammo than they know what to do with. If it comes down to the nut-cuttin', then finding something to wipe my arse with will not be a problem.

Yesterday I saw a woman at the grocery store forearming entire rows of canned vegetables into her buggy. It took some jewing, but she relinquished and gave me an 8 ounce can of diced tomatoes. Couple days before that, I watched a lady buy 2 hand baskets full of hand sanitizer- every ounce that the store had for sale is now in her sole possession.

What good is it going to do these people if everyone else around them is sick because they couldn't acquire routine sanitizing products while they search the countryside for sustenance items like butter and canned corn?

This was in Mississippi; I can't imagine what it's like in places with multiple confirmed cases.

I knew shortages were about to get bad when I, a reclusive introvert with no social media presence whatsoever, was being included in massive group text messages from people who live and die by the Facebook narrative (i.e., women) and that were pleading for all recipients to get in the car and go stock up on doomsday items, and God forbid, DO NOT DELAY.

If it weren't the year two-thousand and twenty, then it'd be prudent advice and a warning well-served, but since it is 2020, the messages only serve to further cluster an already clusterf*cked situation.

We are so f*cked.

When "the big one" hits, we are SO f*cked.

I don’t think they’re going to shut off our water supply so tap water is good enough for me.

And I always have my fall-back bidet ready — my trusty garden hose.

Why buy all that bottled water when you can buy Beer ? No toilet paper? No problem,wipe your butt with a wet shop towel and wash the towel with soap and water.

Sam's had no toilet paper yesterday.

The good news about the law of natural selection?. The weak and the stupid go first.


All these idiots who are doing the panic buying will die first.

Popeyes may have to temporarily stop serving the spicy if there is a toilet paper shortage.

It’s fricking madness.

Situations like this make it really easy to see how quickly the world would go to shite if we were looking at a more serious pandemic.

I just got some groceries on the way home from work and you can just feel the tension in the air.

Went to the grocery store today here in Columbus. First person I see walking out had her arms full of large packs of tp. She had nothing else. Only TP. Shelves we're almost bare but still a few rolls left. I felt foolish grabbing some because we were down to our last roll.

Use wet wipes or grab some wash cloths and wipe your arse with those. Then wash and reuse.

People acting like without TP they'd be raw dogging it with dry leaves.

The Costco near me and there was a line of about 200 to get in, couldn't figure out what was going on. Went to the Customer Service counter to redeem my rebate coupon and I would say two out of three carts had at least one and sometimes two bulk packages of Bounty paper towels. Many also had wet wipes and Kleenex. CS lady told me they were sold out of all brands of toilet paper (including Kirkland) and Kirkland paper towels and tissue so people were opting for Bounty- limit of two bulk packages per customer. It was crazy.

Wanted to add- this store is in North Scottsdale and most of the Costco people buying I saw were elderly, I'm assuming snowbirds wintering in the area.
