@Success Close...it is because the way things are going scares the shit out of them. If they were scared "shitless"..they wouldn't need paper.

Where i live there must be a few with garages full of it, because there's been none on shelves for days while the manufactures are saying they're making it 24/7.
@SW-User This was reported on the news a week before I moved to the city. Nobody in my town cared that much about but I am glad I bought a pack of 24. That'll last me a couple of months.
Typical example of a self-fulfilling prophecy. "Toilet paper supply will soon break down!" => Everyone panic-buys tons of toilet paper => Toilet paper supply breaks down. "See? I told you toilet paper supply is breaking down!" => More people buy all available toilet paper. 😐️
I was told that people are hoarding toilet paper because they can use it as a mask to protect themselves. You can use the mask twice, then you have to make another. But, toilet paper as a mask??🤔
I've not done that! I don't get their stupidity either! I was actually getting embarrassed for them in the supermarket the other day! The greediness in panic buyer faces! I walked out, pathetic!
Urban Legend has it that it's because every time someone sneezes a thousand idiot onlookers shit themselves. I'd love to get the idiot's take on it though.
@ThePerfectUsername i thought the legend went because every time someone coughed in line, 1000 morons shit themselves in terror...could be wrong though. And before anyone gives me grief I'm not mocking the possible threat( keyword there possible) but am going to mock all the people be overly crazy about it.

No but saw them at Costco...people waiting in a very long line yesterday. Rediculous!

Not sure why people are overreacting so much this isn’t Armageddon
Have officially given up on this now. Just saw a broadcast from Australia. It mentions, among other things, about a woman who was arrested for drawing a knife on another woman in a store over a pack of toilet paper. What the ever loving fuck people.

If everybody decides to buy one extra pack than they normally do... there will be a shortage.
@SW-User I keep seeing this headline. It's not that he has nowhere to sell them, he has. Nowhere that will allow him to price gouge. I'm sure among will let him sell his stock for reasonable prices.

@SooperSarah Agreed. But we probably wouldn't need to ration things if people were rational and didn't try to fleece grandma.
@SW-User if you think about it, I bet people are willing to pay a small premium to get these things without having to go out in public to find and purchase them.
