Wassup with the run on Toilet Paper?

[VacationForever]

Heck, I have always had 2 to 3 months supply. I go through 2 rolls per week and I am trying to ration starting from yesterday... I started counting squares. Each pee = 3 squares as opposed to 5 to 6 squares as in the past. Big business is as much as needed, no rationing.

At our grocery, I said, "Looks like the hoarders got here before us."
The clerk said, "We don't allow hoarding. There's a limit of 2 for many items."
My reply: "That's like closing the barn door after the horse has left."

I saw something today even worse at our local Sam's.
No TP - but that was expected.
A lot of people going home with two packages of napkins......
I'm saying an appropriate prayer for our community waste system(s).....

I'm liking my Kimberly Clark stock -- about the only bright spot in my portfolio.

I'm thinking we should buy stock in instant hot water heater companies. I can't be the only one who bemoans the two minutes it takes to get hot water out of the faucet to rinse off soapy hands.

I suspect Proctor and Gamble, and Clorox might be good stocks to purchase as well...

Finally, that Toto smart toilet we purchased might really pay off!

it's real or at least the box has a familiar feel -- I guess I better open it to be sure

WAIT !!!

Do you know how many people have handled that? It could be covered in virus.

I love my Toto toilet. I cannot believe how clean it stays. It is the best toilet I have ever had. It was recommended by my master plumber nephew. He was so right, it's a wonderful thing. I need two more of those for the upstairs bedrooms. I clean those twice a week. Yuck. The Toto is so clean and on almost no water. I think it's a miracle toilet, if there is such a thing.

I have a friend in the Seattle area. Household of 5. She did not panic and hoard toilet paper. I talked with her yesterday and she is out and there is none to be found. Her neighbor gave her a roll. I loved her attitude...She has a box of wet wipes, if that runs out, toilet direct to shower or she said her kids have lots of t-shirts they don't wear. As long as the washer/dryer keep working, they will be fine.

I bought a 12 pack just before this started and they are double rolls so we are good....all are stores are empty of tp

here's a tp calculator

This toilet paper calculator lets you know how long your bathroom stash will last

You likely have much more than you need.

Today some Costco stores announced that they would not accept returns on some items, and Toilet Paper was just once of those items.

I believe this policy will be expanded nationwide to all their stores.

Still no toilet paper in our area of Los Angeles.

B-I-D-E-T. or stand backwards in the shower. Or reuse cloth like you do for cloth baby diapers. I don't get the TP obsession.

Before the Great Toilet Paper Crisis of 2020, do you remember colored toilet paper?

.... sounds kinda racist

I think the extra protection helped my golf clubs made it intact from Phoenix thru SFO to Vancouver.

I finally gave up and ordered some random not packaged toilet paper off of Amazon. I've wasted close to an hour each day trying to find any online and when I have found some, it says delivery in May.

I'm quickly losing respect for the general population in my area. I went to the store yesterday (first time in over a week) and they hardly had anything. Seriously, no milk!?!?! I don't understand how much food people are planning on going through. Did they not eat before? Are they just going to throw out all that produce and dairy products?
