I got a call from my mother and my wife got a call from her's both yesterday evening tell us to "go out and get TP and paper towels now because of the strike"

All these old ladies watch the same shite and all go in a panic at the same time

Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, and bottled water.

Because people read and believe everything they see on Facebook. All it takes is a brainless majority believing and acting one way to make others have to as well.

Telling people to panic buy is a bitch move at best.

The reason some stores are running short are because you have idiots, like her, that are freaking people the frick out.

How do you know she wasn't just telling people that if you need TP you better hurry because the panic buy has already started? Unless you left something out, she did not say anything about the supply chain being falsely disrupted, so I don't see any idiocy in her comments.

That's literally how you keep the "panic buying" going. By keeping the panic going.

You don't understand how that's an issue?

Isn't toilet paper made in the USA, or am I missing something?

BTW, my Costco is out of toilet paper and paper towels.


Correct. All or at least some of the Kirkland brand is made in Louisiana.

We have a TOTO that has the heated seat component (awesome in the winter).

Also recommend, if you have a special lady friend living with you to get one that has a front spray option as well.

Those bidets are causing prolapsed assholes for a good number of people who use them. Tread lightly.

Yep. I went to Sam’s yesterday for my bi-weekly trip and it was like Katrina was coming. Complete chaos. I left and went to the grocery store, which was completely normal.
