Panic buying

When I went to Asda today there was no hand sanitizer, only about 3 bottles of handwash left and the pallets of 4 & 8 pack Asda Shades loo roll were empty.
The 24 pack shades loo roll was a full pallet though and it was on sale too so I got 2, nothing to do with stocking up just buying it while cheap.

Although given the amount of cola bottles I also had in my trolley it must have looked like I had joined those stocking up.

Is it wrong to ask for someone to infect me? Get the Sh1t over with and move on?

I have thought that myself, but it is quite a big gamble (Russian roulette).
Plus, I'm sure I read that there are reported cases of people being reinfected.
 
I admit, I've bought some extra food. Not exactly a stock pile, but enough tins to allow us not to starve if the whole family has to stay home for a fortnight.
Radio discussion today said that we are currently in the same position in terms of cases and deaths that Italy was 2-3 weeks ago. Italy has had to seal the north of the country off, Milan is shut, every school closed. Things are likely to get worse before they get better. Remember your scout training - always be prepared!

I AM king of the bog roll. I sit on a throne built from 24-packs of only the softest, most absorbant loo paper. None may challenge my reign.

You panic-bought this weekend? Oh, my child. I have been buying up stocks for weeks. I have more toilet roll than anyone in a 15-mile radius, including small shops. It will never run out.


You’ve filled your garage with it? Ah, your naivety makes me chuckle. You remind me of myself, six weeks ago. I have filled my whole house.

I no longer have a bed. I sleep on bog roll. I eat at a bog roll table. I lounge on a supremely comfortable bog roll sofa. Every room in my house is piled to the ceiling with sweet, wonderful bog roll.

Soon, society will collapse. Banknotes won’t be worth, if you’ll pardon my joke, wiping your bum on. There will be only one source of wealth, only one currency. And I have cornered the market.

They will come to me, the former great and good, laid low by their own foulage. They will give me diamonds, titles, positions of great power in return for a single roll of Andrex Skin Kind with aloe vera and chamomile. I will take all as my due.

I am the bog roll king. I am the emperor of the sh*thouse. All hail me.

Same here. I was buying some cider and the guy asked my son for ID, I said “it’s for me, he just drove me here” and he said “go on then, I’ll let you this time”. WTF??
 
A mate shared a photo from the supermarket yesterday - most things cleared, but nobody was buying Goodfellas pizzas, as they thought they were Italian. Bonkers.
Happy to buy pasta though. Weird.
