This is not a flex. This is a statement on how much of a selfish asshole you are.
I was reading this as an admission that they made a mistake. They didnt realize how much soap they actually used or needed, and they bought into the media frenzy. Now they know better
Oh, I read that as them getting into soapmaking as a hobby during Covid haha
Let’s hope it isn’t actually a sign of how infrequently they wash their hands.
It’s either or and it’s no good nope
These are the dipshits that caused the “supply problems”
I remember the people buying the Lysol and hand sanitizer in bulk, thinking they were going to make millions reselling it. Covid came under control and they were back at Costco/Walmart trying to get refunds. Heh
The stupid thing about buying up all the soap is that you also need other people to be washing their hands too.
I keep a surplus supply of just about everything my family regularly uses, sometimes up to five-years.
The thing is, I don’t buy it all at once. I build it up over time so I don’t clean out a store and make things hard for other people.
It’s not just for emergencies, either. I have had things I rely on mysteriously go out of stock or become very hard to get for a few months then things go back to normal. During that time I was just eating into my supply instead of stressing that I couldn’t find any.
I been benefiting form my parents panic buying a stash of toilet paper.
The guy in front of me at the checkout had his cart full of toilet paper. Jokingly, I asked him if COVID is coming back. He laughed and told me it’s for his companies’ office.
Somebody has to draw the short straw.
No, he said he was the boss of the company. And a bonus: he actually bought the good toilet paper, not that cheap half-ply stuff with the abrasive qualities of a 60 grid sanding belt.
I bought a house in 2019 and my partner and I had a running gag where we’d buy a family size roll of TP at bjs every time we went.
It was really more I kept doing it and they kept getting more and more annoyed about it, and I kept laughing because I’m generally a terrible partner lmao.
Long story short when Covid came around we were set already.
I wish I had the storage space for that.
I was so confused the first time I tried to buy paper towels at Costco and couldn’t find them. I asked a worker and he said “Oh honey. You need to be here when we open on Wednesdays to get those!”
I still have hand sanitizer I use that I bought on clearance at the end of the pandemic when they realized they made wayyyy too much.
Next up: toilet paper
During covid I wrote up plans to make my own toilet paper micro-factory with old washing machines, dryers, and wood pulp. It never came to that, but I had a pretty solid setup planned
Americans will do anything but use a bidet.
