30 Times People Spotted Total Jerks During The Coronavirus Crisis And Shamed Them Online
Interview With ExpertSome people are reacting to the coronavirus in a mature, responsible way. While others are panic-buying, hoarding supplies, leaving nothing to buy for everyone else, and flaunting how much they don’t care about social distancing. And a select few are even hoping to scalp others by reselling basic supplies like toilet paper.
But the internet isn’t standing for this kind of behavior. People are shaming jerks online who are making the corona-crisis more difficult for us all. Scroll down for Bored Panda’s list about corona-jerks getting outed and let us know in the comments below if this made you lose a bit of faith in humanity. Be sure to read on for our interview with Sam Dogen, founder of the Financial Samurai website, about price gouging.
Most people you talk to will be able to tell you that they’ve already seen small examples of price-gouging. Like selling face masks for exorbitant prices. It looks like some individuals see the crisis as an opportunity. An opportunity to fill their pockets with quick cash in exchange for their moral integrity.

This shouldn't be funny. Paid sick leave should be normal. And to ask a sick person to continue to work is inhumane.
The guy probably didn't have corona. He threatened to come to the office 'with corona'. This is the bio terrorism version of saying "I will bring a bomb to school if you don't cancel it."
Load More Replies......like it would be normal in a civilized country? 14 days maybe, but still.
And then you get the germs around the office, and then they fire you for 'coming to work when you knew you were sick' haha
Of course it looks fake, however paid sick leave would require a doctor certifying the sickness, not just "calling in sick".
So, he was Practically THREATENING his fellow coworkers WITH THE CORONVIRUS?!!? HORRIBLE PERSON!!
Bet a lot of HR people have seen a few of these... and they're responding from home!!

This Man Drove 1,000+ Miles And Bought 17,000 Bottles Of Hand Sanitizer And Wipes, But Now He Can't Find Buyers. Boo-Hoo
I just read that this asshat and his bro decided to donate the rest of their stash to those in need. Great sentiment, just too bad it's attached to greed.
Its because Tennessee's attorney general just opened a case investigating him for price gouging.
Load More Replies...I am seriously ecstatic over him being in trouble! Hope they do the same to all the other scum buckets as well !
Load More Replies...What a couple of douche canoes. My favorite statement was when he claimed that he is providing a "public service" to address an obvious market need - need he and his brother created by buying up all the stock and taking it away from those who need it. Oh yeah, and the $3 bottles of hand sanitizer? They've sold them for $15-$20 on Amazon and eBay until their sites got shut down. And this is why we can't have nice things!
They were busted when they tried to sell it on ebay. One price was 70.00 for a bottle of sanitizer. Glad they got caught!
Why did any store anywhere allow any of this to even happen? What happened to management that would stop this stuff from even happening? If I was at the store and saw this I would have hollered out loud for all to see and hear that the pigs are in the store, stop them, NOW!!
Load More Replies...I will never understand why he agreed to be the subject of this story. This is not something I would want to be advertising about myself. Maybe he is so narcissistic to think that he was wronged by Amazon and Ebay and expected sympathy? Instead he's not being investigated by his state attorney general for breaking anti-gouging laws.
Narcissists like attention and don't consider it bad.
Load More Replies...This guy lives in my neighborhood, but after I read neighbors' opinions of him as posted on Nextdoor, he may want to consider moving.
In Spain in the state, if you do what this man did, they can confiscate everything to give it to the hospitals and the army and you will be jailed. we have been asked to deliver (and are reviewing sales) all the material necessary to deal with this crisis
Actually, it happened today. Hospitals in Madrid are running out of masks for doctors and nurses, and a company in Jaén was found hoarding 150,000 masks. They were confiscated and donated to the hospitals that need them.
Load More Replies...Bored Panda spoke with Sam Dogen, founder of the Financial Samurai website, about price gouging and scalping in the wake of the corona-crisis. We wanted to find out why we're already seeing people pay huge prices for hygiene products.
"Panic makes people do things irrationally," Dogen said. "There is no need to have a year's supply of toilet paper or hand sanitizer. Supply will come back within a couple months as we are currently experiencing a supply shock as well."
"So if you must hoard, then buy for not more than two months of supply. Most people buy one month's supply of personal hygiene products, so two months is not that much more."
Just.... Man, [screw] Her. I’ll Never Understand Why People Are Such Assh*les
This woman in Taylor Mill, Kentucky has hoarded toilet paper to sell out the back of her car for $5.00 a roll. How can people have this much greed? GET HER FACE OUT THERE...So the World can know what a true LOW LIFE looks like.
Don't you restock your shops? In the Netherlands lowlife scum and idiots were hoarding too. Just too find that the next day all shelves were stocked again. No shortage. So now there are a lot of fools on social benefit trying to survive the rest of the month on toiletpaper and handsoap.
Our trucks and supply chains have a LOT further to go in America. What's the square mileage of the Netherlands?
Load More Replies...So they've given notice in KY that ppl trying to price gouge others for products that they've hoarded during the state of emergency, will be prosecuted. The governor of KY, Beshear, is asking that these ppl are reported to the attorney general for prosecution. I would make sure I contacted the appropriate ppl in my state. I read earlier today that a man in TN was running into trouble for alcohol gel and wipes, it looked similar to the post in the garage, but a different looking man. He was notified that they were coming for him for price gouging of those supplies after being harassed by many people on his sites he intended to sell on, so at the last minute he donated the remainder of the stash to two different areas. He and his brother had hoarded it in TN and KY so some went to each state. He still faces charges and restitution for what was already sold for inflated prices. It was in my Google news today. So turn these douchebags in.
How do they even look in the mirror? I will depend on KARMA for the selfish people!!
How low so you get to scalp toilet paper. Someone should defecate on he car.
If This Is You: [Screw] You
I don't get it either- are they going to eat it? Fashion clothing? Make medicine? Id be more worried about other things rather than tp
Load More Replies...its also the stores' fault. they should give out a maximum of 3 packs/customer or so...
Yesterday I heard in the radio that in one of the Scandinavian countries they don't limit the maximum you can buy, they just increase the price substantially: first packet 1€, second packet 5€, third packet 10€... I don't know if it's true, but I think it's brilliant. You are free to buy what you want, but if you are an idiot yo pay a fortune.
Load More Replies...This irritates me beyond words! NO ONE needs this much. Even worst case scenerio, if we are locked down for 30 days or more, no one needs this much. Then there's people like my family who didn't panic and are now out of TP and can't get any. So thanks a*s hats.
I really don't get this stupidity. Do they expect to be in lockdown for a year and survive on nothing but toilet paper?
what they don't get is other people also need supplies like old or disabled people even now im in a family of 6 and were struggling to get food and basic sanitary needs for all of us
They do get it. The problem is they couldn't care less about other people.
Load More Replies...Why aren't the liquor stores being raided like this? God knows if you've got to stay home with your kids all week(s) now that their schools are closed, and you can't get to work, you're going to want to get drunk instead I think.
No, they want to sell it at a profit. Quick money making schemers.
Load More Replies...Apparently if you contract the virus you are immediately compelled to wrap yourself in toilet paper smh
The More You Take, The Less There Is For Everyone Else
Drastic times call for drastic measures. But c***s don't care being a c**t.
Load More Replies...Hey, retailers.. how about instituting purchase limits as soon as it becomes obvious what people are doing. The more I think about it, the more I hold retailers responsible for empty shelves than I do hoarders. They could have stopped this way before it got to this point.
This is funny given that the only ones capable of limiting the number of packs each person is allowed to buy are the same ones writing the note.
I've literally not considered this until right now, it's spot on.
Load More Replies...yaaassss!!! hahahahaaa you deserve the name, if you act like one...not sorry
Instead of shaming them, why won't store limit the purchase amount since it's not working for shameless people?
At your local hardware store you can buy a small item that works like a duvet.
A DUVET covers your bed in feathery comfort. A BIDET covers your post-poo a**s with water.
Load More Replies...Dogen reiterated that it's vital that people don't give in to price gouging. "Price gouging is a pure indication of panic buying. If you do not panic buy, then you will not succumb to paying inflated prices. People who price gouge during a global pandemic should be fined and banned from reselling things online again. Instead of price gouging, they should be doing something to help their fellow brothers and sisters."
He also mentioned that price gouging is nothing new during times of distress. "Price gouging happened during the 2008–2009 financial crisis, after many devastating storms, and other tragedies."
"I understand the desire to profit to take care of your own finances, but when there is a large tragedy, it is incumbent on all of us to step up and help each other out."
Which One Are You?
There are 2 types of people in the world
This has to be a joke. It's a virus not a f*****g zombie apocalypse
A non deadly virus to the majority population
Load More Replies...Yup! The fact that they're right beside each other ... perfect picture (but probably just a happy (for the photographer) coincidence)
Load More Replies...but you also need to blame the supermarket for allowing these people to take these many rolls in the first place..there should ALWAYS be a limit on these types of purchases, even if there is no pandemic..people buy like this to re-sell in smaller shops for more money..it's just wrong on so many levels..
Most of the stores where I live ARE limiting what people can buy. But it doesn't keep them from going to one store after another after another. Some people are just determined to be douche bags.
Load More Replies...At least one sensible American who doesn't think Corona beer is carrying the virus!!
Seriously...
My co-worker has been coming into office because he feels "fine" and shows no symptom. Now my senior manager still want to have all hands meeting where bunch of people (+20) crammed into conference room to discuss telecommuting plan.
Update: Now my a-hole manager wants doctor's note if you are calling in sick. If employees are self quarantining for any suspicious symptoms, last thing you want to do is go outside to get a [frikinn] doctor's note!
Exactly! My work requires a doctor's note for absences more than three days.
My husband's supervisor called a meeting today to discuss working from home! Like WTF?
Load More Replies...In Germany, docotrs can now write notes for seven days just based on a phonecall and they pass it through the door. (Most of them have no protective gear, so they don't physically see anybody.)
Phrase of the day: VIRAL HOST DENSITY -- viruses are short-lived and depend upon transfer to new hosts to perpetuate an outbreak. The easiest way is in CROWDS.
A doctor's office, ER, any health care facility is a good place to avoid during this crisis. In the first place you're passing whatever you have to everyone who comes in, in the second, there isn't a f*****g thing they can do for you, in the third place you are incredibly stupid.
Italy: in this period, you don't go to your family doctor (who, by the way, always visits you for free). You call them. If some of your close contacts resulted Coronavirus positive, and they are registered as such, your family doctor will file you a certificate. It s an electronic certificate. You tell your employer the certificate number and you're good to go, or, in this case, you're good to quarantine.
In Belgium (where the pandemic is progressing way too fast) they decided to suspend all classes in primary and secondary school - reaction from the school where I teach: you must all come down on Monday for a general assembly (so like 120 people) :O - hopefully we protested and they divided it into 5 sessions in a big hall where the safety distances where respected, but anyway... could have been a mail, smh
Cal your family Dr. He would probably be willing to write one sight unseen
Whoever You Are, [Screw] You!
Well, if they didn't stock up on food, there won't be any need for toilet paper, because there won't be any s**t to wipe.
Load More Replies...I told my kids If/when we run out just jump in the shower afterward because i will not spend 5-10 $ a roll off someone trying to make a quick buck.
More hygienic as well. Toilet paper just smears the s**t around.
Load More Replies...It won't, but they obviously didn't think that much in advance. Would have been interesting to watch them try though.
Load More Replies...This is honestly ridiculous... last I checked diarrhea isn't one of coronavirus' symptoms...
This is just absurd nobody and I mean nobody needs this much you can always go back and get more if you feel it’s that serious allow other people to get some! Like I said the 2 per customer limit rule should be implemented everywhere
It doesn't matter what the stores do. I saw a couple go into Target and each buy T.P. separately, then go out to the same car. And they probably hit up a few other stores too. Some people are just colossal douche bags.
Load More Replies...Some of these people own small businesses and buy sufficient stock for their business. They don't have delivery trucks. Sams Club & Costco are small business suppliers!
CBS4 found out about an underground scalper and gouger network in Denver that resells personal hygiene products at greatly increased prices. One of these men was selling packages of (yup, you guessed it) toilet paper for 4 to 5 dollars per 4-pack on Craigslist. Even though they cost around 1 dollar per pack in stores.
“If you want more, it will be gone by tomorrow,” the man told undercover CBS4 reporters when he met them. According to the scalper, he’s been making good money and sold around 100 rolls already. When the man realized that he was being filmed, he refused to talk to the reporters further.online.
The undercover reporters met another man who sold 4 to 5 dollar-worth bottles of hand sanitizer for 20 dollars each. He explained that most of his customers are worried about the coronavirus.
“I just wanted to cash in and make a few bucks,” he said. Fortunately, in this case, the man realized that he was acting wrong, returned the money, and reduced the cost of his products to their usual price.
In the US, over 30 states have laws that make it illegal for people to price gouge during a state of emergency or a disaster. However, other states, like Colorado, don’t have such restrictions.
Which makes it easy for jerks to hoard supplies and then resell them for people who are in panic-mode. The good news is, the majority of folks are fighting back, even if, for now, it mostly means shaming these jerks
Australia Right Now. Corona Virus Panic Has Already Hit
Anything is possible. I know the pizza joint my friend John works for is doing that. His boss, the owner, is doing an even exchange. Various supplies that people need like tp, hand sanitizer, soap, cleaning supplies... etc in exchange for food items. Then he and his employees are bagging it all up along with some of their pizza, chicken wings and some pasta dishes and taking it to people in need.
Load More Replies...But 8 rolls would normally cost $7 or so, right? Seems reasonable to me.
Another Profiteer Clearing Out Thermometers At Costco. Spent His Time In The Line Up Bragging How Much Money He Would Make Marking Up The Sale Of These
I would have walked right into that cart on purpose just to knock them all off! Then I would have grabbed as much as I could and then start passing them out to those who were looking for them but couldn't have them because of this dickweenie!
yeah watch them fall and walk away, flip him off and feel good.
Load More Replies...I can't believe that the stores are allowing this to happen. Why are they not setting limits on purchase?
He probably will. Amazon, Kijiji, Ebay, etc., all shut down these people so they can't sell necessities on their sites.
Load More Replies...I'm really disappointed in Costco for allowing this douche baggery
Exactly. Shouldn't be allowed. It's time for retailers to step up!
Load More Replies...Usually, those markets have a policy against clearing stock like that. Sometimes their prices are lower than wholesale, so they only allow a limited amount of items per customer. There are a lot of stories in Germany, where cashiers had customers bring all their toilet paper back to the shelves.
Hast du Links dazu? Oder ist das eher Buschfunk?
Load More Replies...And that's where management would have had time to step in and put a stop to it.I'm sure there was a security guard or two on the premises who could have provided backup. Management was part of the problem there...
I hope he is stuck with every last one of them and when he tries to return them to Costco they tell him to shove them up his a*s.
My Kid Has A Non-Coronavirus Related Fever. But Panic Shopping Has Made It Hard To Find Medicine
I faced the same thing. I can’t find anything anywhere. Hoping to try Amazon
I was surprised. At my grocery store, no meat, pasta, sanitizer or paper products. But there was plenty of cold medicine. I thought to myself, I guess people think they aren't going to get sick...it's the other guy.
Load More Replies...All the OTC s**t is like ibuprofen, tylenol and whatnot - What the hell is that going to do for you if you have covid-19? How is that going to fix you? WHY are people hoarding this? Are they trying to escape lung disease via liver and kidney failure?
The Target by me has signs that read, "Limit 6"... No surprise, those shelves of panic items were bare. Give us a freaking break! How about limit ONE per paying customer.
This is the same with a lot of meds. Hard to get meds for an ACTUAL medical condition. (Autism and ADHD if you're wondering.) I'm sorry if you think these are not real disabilities but they can cause serious problems and I could actually pass on if I stop taking my meds suddenly, and the longer I don't, he higher the chance. Thanks for reading my mini rant.
i said this about a thousand f*****g times and i will say it again. LEAVE IT TO THOSE IN NEED, NOT THE STUPID F*****G PANIC BUYERS!!!!!!

Dried beans. Dried [frikinn] beans.
Everytime we have external stresses, people in the Seattle area choose a weird food item to stock up on. For Snowpocalypse in February 2019, it was bread and milk. Now, it's dried beans. Most of the people who purchased these have probably never even cooked with dried beans!
They will need all that TP they hoarded when they start cooking all those beans. Just sayin'.
Beans can stay fresh for years, so they will have food with long shelf life. It is also delicious and rather easy to cook if you have pressure cooker, in a pot it takes several hours.
Just soak overnight. They will be ready to cook in the morning. No biggie.
Load More Replies...That's for all the people who got insta-pots for Christmas and they are going to try using them for the first time!! Whoo-hoo, burnt to a crisp or hard as rocks, variety is on the menu!!
Yesterday my grocery store was completely sold out of onions. I needed just one to cook a pot roast! SMH
This is cuz of the tinfoil hat crowd that believes that if you sleep with a sliced onion at your bedside, it will cure the common cold. I regret to say that I am not making this up
Load More Replies...Actually dried beans are the perfect food if you need to store food for a long time. Beans are very nutritious. You can keep dried beans until you need them, then soak them and boil them and you can probably live better on them for awhile then almost any other food.
In Minnesota (Minneapolis area), it is saltine crackers and soup (and toilet bowl cleaner for some reason). Funny, because soup and crackers was what I was looking for :-) Actually that's what I"m always looking for. But I buy the dried soup (cheap and delicious) and the whole grain saltines and there were plenty of those left. That combo is my favorite.
helpful tip: nobody's buying the pancake mix. pancakes are easy to make and are filling.
my dad is a prepper and he stores rice and dried beans for later purposes
I Don't Fear The Virus, I Fear A Run On Supplies
The people who are panic buying because of a fear of food shortage are causing exactly that. It is nonsense and without reason. People profitting from this situation are also all going to burn in some sort of hell.
I know this has nothing to do with this but my sister got a text and it was from a giant group chat where random people are trying to send memes to each other to keep their minds off the Corona Virus.
This Person Is Buying Three Pallets Of Disinfectant Wipes. Don’t Be This Person. [Screw] This Person
How do any of them let it happen? Especially when the big national retailers have inventory management systems that charge regular price when you've gone over a sale price purchase limit.... and it happens right at the register before you even pay. IMO, retailers are more responsible for these "shortages" than hoarders. Retailers could see it happening as soon as it started. I'm also not happy with Bored Panda right now as two similar replies I've made in this thread, about retailers, appear to have been deleted. Come on... where's the social outrage over large corporations part in this mess?

Don't be fooled by the picture though. The lines could also be caused by the fact that Costco is only letting in five people at a time. This is what happened at the Costco near me. The line was half a kilometer long because they only let a specific amount of people in and didn't let anyone else in until they finished shopping.
Isn´t it amazing? All these idiots fear that they could run out of asswipe because of the virus, and the truth is that they will probably end up getting it because they spend hours hanging out in human masses.
Afraid of the virus but they are standing shoulder to shoulder with each other. Humans at it's finest, not
Dumb f***s crowding together... because they are scared of the virus... CROWDING TOGETHER... TOUCHING ALL THE SAME S**T
What sucks about this is that the people who work at Costco only get to shop after they get off. which for some people is very late so they cannot get much of the things they need.

People Are Panic-Buying Eggs Now? You Assh*les Know You Can’t Grow Chickens With Those Right?
Eggs keep for ages at room temperatures, though. Or they do if you're not in the USA where they wash the protective coat off, which shortens their storage life and means they need refridgerating.
You can make them last longer by just applying a thin coat of vegetable oil or the equivalent. And put them in room temperature

I read that the guy who looks like Trump's illegitimate younger brother wants them spread it around to try and develop herd immunity.
Pretty much- just 'wash your hands and prepare for people to die'. Awesome leadership. Moron.

British people were restricted against panic buying, most did not even try, it was only the stupid few that spoil it for the rest at least we had controls.
Today's Line As Soon As Costco Opened. People Fighting For Water, Toilet Paper, Rice, And Other Essentials
I just renewed my dang membership to that place. I can hardly stand the crowds on a normal day. Definitely not going now.
Me and you both. I worked enough shift work in my life to really appreciate going to the store at odd hours when there’s nobody there. Now I’m 9 to 5 again, and hating the crowds.
Load More Replies...Luckily my state made it so you can only get one pack of toilet paper, hand sanitizer, Kleenex, spam, and rice per household.
I was wondering why this wasn't happening. Good for your state.
Load More Replies...Maybe coronavirus is what we need right now actually to wipe all the f*****g arseholes off the planet. There'll definitely be enough supplies for the rest of us then
Wow everywhere should implement the 2 per customer limit rule like some stores have so everyone can get what they need cause this is truly sad
Like Black Friday but without the deals... what is the world coming to???
You’re Part Of The Problem!
Blessing in disguise that I came home this weekend and I live next to the largest grocery store in Illinois. That said, even they are running out of stuff. Still grateful that for at least a few weeks we will be stocked up.
To be fair that's not a whole lot; they might have a big family...or the shits?!
Whuuuut?! How much do you plan to s**t? That will last for two months!
Load More Replies...I would just grab one out of their cart while their back is turned.
You don't know, that could be for the WHOLE family. (All relatives)
My mom is elderly and on disability and dont like going out unless needed for dr appt.or something like that. she goes shopping on the 3rd of every month and gets everything she will need for the month. She has been doing this for years. Never had a problem. But now she cant do her normal shopping cuz stores dont allow it cuz of freaking hoarders. Sucks
that really isn't a lot. After the rush of hoarders I was trying to find one pack for my family needs, when I found a store with toilet paper I called my elderly mother, aunt and elderly, 4 of the ones I call needed TP and I picked it up for them. People around me might have thought I was part of the problem, but I was trying to be helpful. My cart looked similar to this.
That's not that much. When all of the kids were living at home, we bought that amount on a regular basis.
3 x 24 packs, and 3 x 18 packs = 126 rolls. A roll should last 1 person close to a week. A few weeks implies 3. So 126 rolls means she has about 42 people in her household. Sure, that makes sense. (laughing at the guy who even said 2 months. For a family of 4, this is more like 8 months).
This is just a little more than how much I buy every time I go to BJ's. I also shop for my parents so it's 4 to 6 packs at one go; Depending on what size and brands are on sale. It keeps me from going, again and again, every month. I'd say this is normal. In fact, I am still using what I bought in December and expecting it to last next month or so. I have yet to go in-store for panic buy lol.

This Is A New Level Of [Screw] You
Looks like a youtube video, and this is supposed to be the clickbait to make you watch lol

Video doesn't exist on his channel - so he was probably shamed into removing it.
British Police And Army Deployed To Protect Toilet Tissue Amid Coronavirus Panic
Photoshop (a bad one at that) and they’re not even in a supermarket, they’re in B&Q (a DIY shop) by the look of it which only sell small amounts of toilet roll.
Of course it is photoshopped - and whoever did it should have known better than to use a picture of a British para!
There's an easy way to solve this issue...criminal prosecution to the hoarders and price gougers. They do it all the time when there are natural disasters like hurricanes. That's what the declaration of the state of emergencies are...an attempt to freeze prices and open prosecutions for hoarding and to release funds to help with such crisis. This is no different. Prosecute the little B**tards.
Make them go pick up trash at the side of the road. In orange vests that say "Hoarder" on the back.
Load More Replies...Just a simple rule of max 2 items of any article per person would have made hoarding almost impossible.The government could have issued a directive to all shops to instate that rule as soon as the idiots started hoarding. But Trump was too busy trying to buy a German firm that is very close to finding a cure for Corona.
In Poland in many shops there is this kind of max 3 items per person limit and it really works!

Take from the poor, sell to the rich. Pretty sad.
Load More Replies...Just watch - they'll be standing in line to return all of those once this is over. I hope the stores don't let them return anything. Stupid greedy people. Remember Y2K? I knew someone that hundreds of rice bags. She tried to return them and the store didn't let her. It was funny.
The store I work in and many others have already instilled a no returns policy, they're urging/suggesting that any no longer wanted items, be donated, serves them right for being so damn greedy.
Load More Replies...The problem does not lie with customers panic buying, it lies with the shops and outlets not restricting the number of each product customer may buy. If shops did this, their shelves would not be empty, so perhaps they had already worked this out.
No. the problem lies with the a******s. The shops reacted too slow, that's true, but it's still the a******s' fault in the first place.
Load More Replies...I bought 3 containers of disinfectant wipes, 2 small bottles of hand sanitizer, 1 refill sized bottle of hand soap, 2 cans of lysol and just enough people and pet food for about a month. Every time I put something in my cart I would check the shelves to make sure there was plenty for others (I shopped early). It's important to take care of yourself and be prepared, but it's also important that we think of others, especially the elderly. I have a family member in his 70's who lives with me, which is why I needed to shop early and hole up to keep him safe.
I wish more people could appropriately forward plan, as you have! Hardly anyone seems to realise there's a middle ground between hoarding and partying in crowds
Load More Replies...Psychotherapist friend offered some perspective: it's not panic buying so much as trying to control an uncontrollable situation. These maniacs somehow think that if they have 300 rolls of toilet paper, everything will be fine.
I would've gone after the canned, dried, and frozen foods. That way at least the bulk of my grocery shopping is done for the next month..
Load More Replies...This just shows how incredibly ignorant these empty headed, fear mongering, greedy, ridiculous, idiotic, illogical, sheeple are. When all of this blows over they will be left with products and debts trhey can't begin to handle.
Honestly, I cant wait for that to happen/ i hope there will be tons of posts of greedy f**ks who lost money because they tried to get "rich" like that
Load More Replies...It made me so sad and angry to see this in my home town and all over London but yesterday I decided not to get angry about it because there's no point getting angry about something I have no control over.
