Had to share...enjoy 😂😂

At 1st I was afraid, I was petrified,
There was no loo roll down at Aldi and I nearly cried.

Oh I spent so many nights just thinking how you did me wrong,
I used to wipe,
And now I’m forced to just drip dry !

No anti-bac !
No bloody soap,
and if you think you’re buying pasta well you’ve got no bloody hope !
I would have bought that box of eggs, I would have rationed out my bread,
If I’d have known for just one second everyone would lose their head !

Go on now go, walk out the door !
All you bloody stockpilers,
You are not welcome any more !

Weren’t you the ones who just bought all the sodding beans ?
You selfish gits !
I hope you spill them down your jeans !

Oh no not I, I won’t panic buy!
Oh as long as I have alcohol, I know I’ll stay alive,
Though I can’t buy my usual cheese,
This will not bring me to my knees
And I’ll survive, I will survive, hey, hey !

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,
There was just apples and 1 carrot in my shopping cart,
And I spent hours walking round just feeling sorry for myself,
The empty store, with boxes strewn across the floor

And you’ll see me, somebody who,
Cannot buy anything she came for, and it’s all down to fecking you
And frickin Reg from down the road is such a selfish blimmin git
Because he stockpiled all the loo roll so nobody else can have a s@*t !

Go on now go, walk out the door !
All you bloody stockpilers,
You are not welcome any more!

Weren’t you ones who just bought all the sodding cakes
Can’t you make a crumble,
Do you people not know how to bake ?

Oh no not I, I won’t panic buy !
Oh as long as I have alcohol, I know I’ll stay alive,
Though I can’t buy my usual cheese
This will not bring me to my knees
And I’ll survive, I will survive !!

Can we have another verse - couldn't find cat food, hair dye, chocolate or deodorant in Tesco yesterday.

OK to all you panic buyers: if you start panic buying chocolate and leave none for the rest of us, good luck when pms hits because this country will be subjected to a purge. AngryGrin Just don't do it, for your own sakes OK? Grin

Love it OP please make it go viral!!

I hope if we do go into another lockdown that shops are fully prepared this time and there isn’t any shortage. There is still maximum order for each item for online orders so that should apply in store too. Stockpilers really need to sod off, there hasn’t been any sweetcorn or chocolate near me for weeks Angry

Thanks @tutorwho. Stupidly refused the receipt!

Longdistance · 26/09/2020 11:03

Superb!
You’ve gotta be done kind of stupid to be so selfish to panic buy like that.

Gfplux · 26/09/2020 11:19

Keep well stocked up if you can afford it

userxx · 26/09/2020 11:26

@Kaiserin 🙄 who called the fun police.

PrettyinPink80 · 26/09/2020 11:30

Maybe we should all just get bidets installed then we won't ever need to worry about bog roll again! Don't panic buy, it'll all be OK again one day. Stay Safe all 😘

Vivana · 26/09/2020 11:52

I didn't even write this it's in Facebook so thought I would share it here as I've stated twice already in my previous posts. It's meant to be light hearted and someone like me and fellow supermarket workers can tell you the crap we have endured since march with panic buyers and covid. I thought this would cheer a few people up as I know it did to me and a good few of my colleagues.

keeprocking · 26/09/2020 15:26

Others 'stockpile', I 'prepare'

keeprocking · 26/09/2020 15:27

(Yes, I'm a boring old fart.

Something we can all agree on!

ellentree · 26/09/2020 16:15

I went to Tesco today and every aisle was well stocked! I am a prepper so didn't need to panic buy anything but I did buy 4 tins of baked beans as they were on offer on the end of an aisle so was being encouraged to buy them!

CakeGirl2020 · 26/09/2020 16:30

Well I loved the alcohol line 😃

Thanks for sharing OP, it’s given me a smile today.

My local Tesco was indeed sold out of toilet roll yesterday & they were completely stripped of Tom purée too. We are in panic buying round # 2

Devlesko · 26/09/2020 16:32

Excellent. I'm really impressed.

Devlesko · 26/09/2020 16:33

Although, leave us preppers out of this, we just have sense to forward plan.

elephantoverthehill · 26/09/2020 16:45

Brilliant Grin. I appear to have panic bought at Tesco this morning. I was down to my last loo roll so they were on the list. I could only buy a pack of 24. My bathroom isn't big enough to store them all!

BeaverTail · 26/09/2020 22:59

I voted YABU simply because I didnt find it particularly funny when it was doing the rounds on social media and was previously posted on mumsnet 6 months back.

But maybe I'm just a grouch.

Bikinib0tt0m · 26/09/2020 23:01

😂😂😂😂😂

IceniWarrior · 26/09/2020 23:08

Everything stocked around here.

I believe for those who have the space and money, having a stockpile built up over time is the socially responsible thing to do. You can then let others who can't access what they need when things get tough. Acting like a martyr and not preparing when you can is socially irresponsible and adds to the burden.
