It’s 3 days, not 3 months! Some people are clueless and thick

[fld]

Live opposite a couple with their teenage son. Yesterday as washing up, looked up randomly as you do. Saw the three of them carrying 4 packs of 24 rolls EACH! So 288 loo rolls. So are they going to use 1 and a third rolls each per hour in the 72 hour period? Or around 4.5 sheets per min.

God there are some very thick people about

Please read the news occasionally

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle? Ever heard of it?

i am not sure loo rolls are on the emergency list
the loos may well not work/flush.

Maybe they're just bulk shoppers anyway. My family goes through a 24 pack in a week, do I often buy multiples.

"God there are some very thick people about"

surely, only if the rolls were 3ply and quilted!! 🙃

Toilet rolls don’t go out of date!

Well, just before the covid lockdowns I ordered a a bulk load of loo roll as I had been watching a lot of stuff online and thought it may be wise to do so, everyone laughed at me but they weren't laughing when the toilet roll shelves where empty at the supermarkets and they had to get buy on limited amounts.

As an IBS sufferer I really can't be doing with low stocks of bog roll.

Why don't you do you and let your neighbours do what they want to. And how lovely to call them thick.

Farm Foods do a deal exactly like this.. I often (well.. every 6mths) buy that many loo rolls. It's a brilliant deal and it's actually good quality loo roll..
EDIT: I then reread it and saw that they ALL had the deal.. crickey.. that's a lot of loo roll..

just before i had my third dc i bought a huge pack of loo rolls, my neighbours laughed

Why assume they are thick? As people have said, they may simply have come across a good deal - I know Asda do deals occasionally on big packs of toilet paper. And why assume they are only buying for three days? I know the advice is about stockpiling for three days, but what is wrong with going beyond that?

Not sure about 3 year supply.

1 loo roll per person per week - so 288 would do a family of 5 about a year

I'd live in fear if I only had 3 days worth of loo roll in the house

Just one toilet disaster away from doom

They've probably just read 'The Mandibles' - that will send anyone scurrying for the loo roll.

She’s a Rainbows leader, not a teacher.

I just had 36 loo rolls delivered - and would've had a lot lot more if Waitrose allowed more than 4 packets! Their own brand loo roll is the only reason I get anything from there and would happily buy a 100 or so at time to save me the bother.

Who should surely reinforce good practice?
or does she Rainbows handbook say you can do what you want as your aren’t a teacher?

What’s “sensible” about buying 300 toilet rolls?

I have loads of food already enough for three days. Worse case it’s chocs crisps and biscuits for a day. It won’t kill us. People are strange?!

This was a bit unpleasant. I’d say that one thing that we all should do is limit how much time we spend reading the news. The rolling 24 hour news cycle doesn’t do many people very much good.

Sure they did.

I had a toilet roll subscription just before Covid hit and had 150 rolls in the house… only as we weren’t using as much as the subscription was sending and it was building up… but guess who felt very smug as she watched people scrabble up the hil to the supermarket near her house at first light of dawn….
if you have the room, what’s the issue?

We always bulk buy loo roll because we have the room to store it and it’s a great price when you buy in bulk. Let’s face it doesn’t tho out of date and will get used!
When everyone else was clearing the shelves during Covid we were already had plenty and have some to family.

Yes, I thought that. I've always stocked up on deals when I can.

How awful to live next to neighbours who notice what you buy.

Is that the reason I can't get my 'who gives a crap' loo roll in tesco at the moment

At least you know where to go if you run out….
