Like seriously can someone explain the TP hoarding to me? -- nm

Initial symptoms included diarrhea. Multiple kids (or women) in a household and you're quarantined? Stock up / hoarding. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 16:03 2
- it's not a common symptom -- nm - ty97 Mar 15, 16:03 1
  - Not NOW. I just think that may have been the initial concern. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 16:06
I think their worry is that the places that make the TP won't be open to supply the stores if they're all quarantined. That's my best guess -- nm - Krusty Mar 15, 15:51
Do you want to be in lockdown for two weeks or more without it? And if everyone else is buying it up, it looks like a real risk, so you do too. -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 15:50 3
- I mean. There’s always the shower -- nm - JackDawson Mar 15, 15:58 2
  - True. -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 15:59 1
    - If there’s no running water we are dead anyway, so I don’t understand it at all -- nm - JackDawson Mar 15, 16:02
At this point it's just Copycats thinking "other people are buying this, so I need to too!" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 15:47 5
- I don't get it, but it is self perpetuating. I know we started buying more stuff when we started seeing the shelves getting empty. Not sure when - pmb Mar 15, 15:51 2
  - Is it you’re worried about not being a schmuck or worried about not having to eat? If it really gets to that people will loot and it’s all over anyway -- nm - JackDawson Mar 15, 15:57 1
    - I'm not really worried about not being able to eat. Just more that it may make things more complicated. The problem is none of us have experienced - pmb Mar 15, 16:18
- My friend started hoarding it about three weeks ago (I know several TP hoarders) and he explained But I was drunk and none of it made sense -- nm - JackDawson Mar 15, 15:48 1
  - I ordered a 24-roll pack on Amazon that arrived a few days ago, but that's only because I was running low and couldn't find any in stores! -- nm - ty97 Mar 15, 15:50
seriously no clue -- nm - ty97 Mar 15, 15:47
