Saw a dude buying four mega packs of Zewa at the store today. What is it with the stupid toilet paper and zewas? It's driving me insane. I want to understand this.

I'm like one bad day away from getting a cork board and string and two bad days away from writing Charmin marketing slogans in my own feces on the wall. I think this is the big one, this will finally break me

https://theconversation.com/theres-plenty-of-toilet-paper-in-the-us-so-why-are-people-hoarding-it-133300

quote:

So then why would people hoard a product that is abundant?
Australia has also suffered from panic buying of toilet paper despite plentiful domestic supply. A risk expert in the country explained it this way: “Stocking up on toilet paper is … a relatively cheap action, and people like to think that they are ‘doing something’ when they feel at risk.”
This is an example of “zero risk bias,” in which people prefer to try to eliminate one type of possibly superficial risk entirely rather than do something that would reduce their total risk by a greater amount.
Hoarding also makes people feel secure. This is especially relevant when the world is faced with a novel disease over which all of us have little or no control. However, we can control things like having enough toilet paper in case we are quarantined.

Last week my washing machine broke. So I ordered a new one with Altgerätemitnahme. Today the Hermes guys arrived and showed me a print out that said that because of Corona they can put the new one in my flat, but won't touch or take the old one with them. Now my broken rear end washing machine is still blocking my bathroom while the new one is sitting smugly in my not overly huge kitchen, being worthless. Thanks Corona virus! :v:

As long as this doesn't cost me my job, I fully realize that I am in a very privileged position here: I thoroughly enjoy the current situation. While I do miss meeting friends, the way everything has slowed down and not having to drive to work every day has an extremely soothing effect on me. I am very happy. If this was just about me, this could go on for many months more. :toot:

Welp, at least I managed to get toilet paper. They've now got two haphazard piles of literally Italian TP (actually, I didn't get a closer look at one of them - might have been Romanian), so now I'm the proud owner of a pacco convenienza of 8 rolls of "Decorata e Profumata" toilet paper from Apulia. Here's the thing though: ?????????????? Are Italians not making GBS threads anymore? What are we doing with their toilet paper? Did Rewe get into literal highway robbery?

4€, btw, so at least some form of highway robbery

That happened at my local EDEKA too. EDEKA seems to be raiding Albania, though.
