hoarding

Mar 27, 2020 5:39PM PDT

just got back from Walmart and they are still out of a lot of essentials. fortunately I don't need anything right now and am good for a few weeks but if I did, I would be upset. It makes me want to hoard the next time there is a disaster to make sure I have plenty to spare. You cannot play by the rules anymore or you will suffer.

what are your feelings?

I get it that different people have different "essentials" and use different quantities of "essentials".

The one thing in toilet papers favour is...it doesn't go bad, unless it gets wet OR catches fire.

And you can use it to TP someones house.

But I agree, too many people are hoarding.

I wish I "hoarded" those gigantic Costco muffins...been out of them for 4 days now...going through withdrawal.

Or the cat throws a party with it on the roller. We have one of those type. Gets kept under in the sink cabinet.
