My neighbor just came home from several stores and

[gopiscrap]

bought 1200 roles of toilet paper and 4 cases of hand sanitizer

[yardwork]

1. Very unethical.

Sounds like they might be planning to sell the things at high prices.

[misanthrope]

17. My wife saw some kids who had set up a stand selling like items

It was apparent their parents had grabbed a bunch of stuff at the store to teach their kids the fine American art of price gouging the scared.

[obamanut2012]

44. In FLorida, that will get the parents fined and arrested

[Chainfire]

56. I just checked our inventory

We have 27 and one half rolls in the house. My poverty makes me want to sing, way down low, "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child."

We do not have the hoarding issue here yet. I was at the grocery store late last week and the shelves were full. I was talking to a stock clerk about the hoarding and she had not heard of it.

[brokephibroke]

2. You know where to go now

For the upcoming trumpToiletPaperWar.

[Drahthaardogs]

3. Kind of stupid

Buying three weeks of food makes sense, but that is silly

[gopiscrap]

4. he's a republican asshole and I am pretty sure he's going

to price gouge folks with it

[MLAA]

20. That explains why he bought so much to, he is full of shit

[lpbk2713]

62. I hope he gets burned with it.

I hope he suffers a big loss.

[mwooldri]

5. You know there's a recall on that toilet paper...

Cardboard was made in Wuhan, China....

[spanone]

6. He must have some serious gastro-intestinal problems

[malaise]

45. Come on bro

ReTHUGs are full of shit

[spanone]

47. Hence the 1200 rolls.....

[Kaleva]

7. Unless he's planning on selling for a big profit, this is an example of not thinking things out.

[gopiscrap]

8. yeah he's low information dude

and an asshole, put up a big confederate flag right at the 2016 election

[dweller]

9. ebay and amazon has shut down all gouging type sellers

so he must have an underground connection.. seriously, that's gonna suck
stuck with 1200 rolls, and 4 cases of sanitizers..
suggest toxic soup if he's got a big pot and some kindling,
lend him a few matches... it's a neighborly gesture?

✌🏼

[gopiscrap]

10. not a bad idea

he'll probably turn to face book or something like that or park it outside of a costco when they're out

[roamer65]

24. I hope his 401k goes to shit today.

Asshole. Only assholes hoard like that.

[customerserviceguy]

32. If it does

he's prepared for the paperwork.

[roamer65]

36. Good job! You got my obtuse little pun.

for you.

[customerserviceguy]

41. We could be

dueling punsters, and drive everyone around us crazy!

[roamer65]

51. True.

[sinkingfeeling]

11. Wow, 1200 rolls of toilet paper would last me about 40 YEARS!

[Midnight Writer]

35. Toilet paper will go bad. There are expiration codes on the packaging, when they pull it from sale.

It gets almost mushy. Good that it degrades, but not a good item for a long term stockpile.

Might be better to buy some cheap washcloths and some barrels of water.

[Demovictory9]

38. I assume it's good for years though

[moriah]

40. We usually buy it by the case, but limit having 1 case in the house unopened at a time.

TP in my house does double duty as buttwipe and nosewipe during allergy/cold season.

A case of 48 double rolls of my favorite (Cottonelle Aloe & E) used to be $15. Now it's $35 and will ship in "a few weeks".

THIS is why we kept the extra case in the back room.

[uppityperson]

12. Unless he's giving it away or sharing it, that's a mean thing to do

[gopiscrap]

15. I agree

[Takket]

13. 1200?????? how many people in his household? 100?????

[gopiscrap]

14. 2

[Takket]

22. so 1200 roles.......

2 people are probably going to go through a roll once every two days.... so 2400 days worth of TP. That's 6.5 years worth of TP

I don't think that's rational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are you going to do, stay home for 6.5 years?????? Virus or not you still need FOOD at some point.

[gopiscrap]

25. that was the same calculation I made

I thinks he things he's going to make some easy money

[Nonhlanhla]

16. Sounds like he's full of $#!t...

[gopiscrap]

18. he is

[TexasBushwhacker]

19. Most stores are putting limits n/t

[gopiscrap]

26. all the Bartells in Tacoma have no limits and right now

lots of the stuff

[JDC]

21. Your neighbor is a dick

[Mariana]

23. How many trips did it take him to get all that TP home?

1200 rolls takes up a LOT of space.

[gopiscrap]

27. I don't know

wasn't paying attention he just stopped me to brag as I was leaving for a meeting

[Haggis for Breakfast]

28. Last week the COSTCO was out of tp

and it had been the third time in a week that they had run out. The manager told us that not only were they out, but that all of the COSTCOs down in Vancouver (I think there are three of them.) were out, too, even Kirkland (HQ of COSTCO) was also all out. They were also out of bottled water.

We tried to go to the Freddy's across the street, but they were out as well. Then stopped at the WalMart. They had three packages left. Bought one.

People are terrified there's going to be a quarantine. But what your neighbor did is just shameful.

[Rorey]

29. I'm amazed that it was available to purchase

And that's ridiculous.

[tavernier]

30. Our Winn Dixie and Publix both have full stock of TP.

I’m a little confused why he’d want to hoard it. And recipes for make it yourself sanitizer have been on the internet all day.

Heck, if he’d saved his money, instead of those frivolous expenditures, he could have bought himself another confederate flag and a Toby Keith album.

[gopiscrap]

31. excellent.... I think it stems from greed

[captain queeg]

33. I remember that last big eclipse

People were buying out stores entire stocks of eclipse glasses and trying to sell them at 500% profit. Local agencies managed to get new supplies and were selling them for a buck. That last day craigslist was full of adds by people trying to sell all the glasses they'd horded. You could watch the price dropping by the hour and then you know what? They were suddenly useless.

[A HERETIC I AM]

34. Do people that buy such huge amounts of toilet paper....

Also buy the corresponding amount of food?

[moonscape]

37. Where did he find a bottle of sanitizer much less

4 cases? There is zero in my area and I called a friend in a small town where I grew up where there are no confirmed cases of CV to ask if she could find any for me. She looked everywhere - nope.

[Demovictory9]

39. a large family could use that up in a year - the toilet paper

[Jersey Devil]

42. Makes sense only if he is also hoarding beans

Beans, beans, good for the heart,....

[obamanut2012]

43. Rationing laws need to go into effect across the US

NOW.

[Hortensis]

46. Some medications and critical medical equipment, probably yes.

[davsand]

48. Is your neighbor a big Taco Bell fan or something?

That's about the only way anybody would need that much toilet paper for a household of two. Even with daily doses of Taco Bell, it's still a lot toilet paper for two. I have to wonder if they are doing some kind of mummy role play or something...

[obamanut2012]

49. Unless you saw it all with your own eyes, he's lying

No one has four cases of hand sanitizer laying around for sale, and 1,200 TP rolls is a HUGE amount, as in a hundred packages, even if they are the "bags" of TP.

[gopiscrap]

50. I believe the toilet paper because he unloaded shit loads from the back of his

pick up took him forever

[LizBeth]

52. That is BS. I am down to two rolls. I better be able to find a package when I head out to the

store on my day off.

[gopiscrap]

59. I have 28 rolls, I will give a couple if

you come to Tacoma

[LizBeth]

60. LOl, drive to Tacoma to get a couple rolls, lol. So funny. And nice.

I could. It would be a lovely drive. About four hours or so. I have TP at work. Bet my boss would let me grab some here and there.

[gopiscrap]

64. I didn't know where you were but you're not that far away from

and I am serious tho, anyone around here who needs things, I am willing to share

[BlueJac]

53. Sick

[Karma13612]

54. Surprised there wasn't a limit imposed by the

Store for this type of purchasing behavior.

They do it in our area for things like butter around the traditional baking holidays. It’s a rural area that is off the main highway system so supply deliveries are limited.

[gopiscrap]

58. I think he went to several stores

and all the Bartells around here had 12 rolls of MD for 5.00 a package and no limit

[Chainfire]

55. It is just good old fashioned capitalism

With the stock market going to hell in a hand basket, speculating on toilet paper makes perfect sense. While they watch their investments going down the drain, they can see that the toilet paper is still there. It is probably quite comforting. It is better then ending up with the shitty end of the stick.... Give me liberty or give me toilet paper.

It is all a part of Making America Great again.

[lagomorph777]

57. TP the bastard's house!

[Chiyo-chichi]

61. I just wonder where he found ANY hand sanitizer.

Can't find it anywhere in my area now.

[Baitball Blogger]

63. What stores would allow him to buy cases of hand sanitizer?
