Anecdotal data point confirming local panic-driven hoarding: I did the Costco run yesterday.
Parking lot full like Xmas shopping season. So much TP and bottled water in carts. Checkout lines stretching to the back of the store. Employees looking frazzled and fed up.
Welcome to the latest episode of “Oh FFS WTH Now”
The trick I learned from the pandemic is to order from industrial sellers. People who provide toilet paper to offices/factories.
I’m glad my wife is away traveling.
Only because of this though,
well, and because of the nice time she will be having.
We’re having a an outdoor party Saturday at a campground.
I swear if we can’t get a couple cases of water for our guests because people in Michigan are panic buying I’m gonna have words with Marge.
I told the wife we should go into the local Meijer and buy a cart full of something weird like clothespins and rubber bands and ask the line of people if they’re worried about the clothespin and rubber band shortage.
When they say that’s stupid, yeah, well your panic buying stuff that’s not imported you morans.
The trick I learned is not to panic, and everything was just fine with my rear end.
I have come to the conclusion that squirting water makes up 2 of the 3 in the “modern bathroom appliances you should have trinity”.
Bidet
Waterpik
Electric Toothbrush.
What if I already have a Brian Moran?
Hoarding bottled water is just stupid if you’re not expecting a hurricane. It’s bottled locally (with exception of a couple notably terrible for the planet brands).
Didn’t he go back to the minor leagues after playing for the Angels in the 2022 season? Are you the owner of the Gwinnett Stripers, by chance?
Just don’t be cheap and get the combo unit.
That needs a puke emoji on multiple levels…
Welcome back, comrade
That would save a lot of time…
I think he’s at Boeing now. It might explain a lot.
One of the options, for those of us without smart integrated drying in our bidet sprayers, is reusable toilet paper. Quite convenient and not gross like you might expect. Then again, I’ve been changing and washing cloth cat diapers for the past 8 years, so I may have a skewed perception of what’s normal.
GP’s the biggest, but they only account for about a quarter of the US market. Americans use a lot of single use paper products.
It’s one of those things it’s better to have and not need than to need and not have.
You mean a Brian Moran?
