There's a weird disconnect in some people thinking isn't there?

You hear or see people saying or writing "I'm not panic buying or hoarding, I just did some massive shops to make sure we had enough to last five years and now I'm just doing normal shops with a few extras to add to our supplies and I'm appalled and disgusted at all these people ransacking the shops when they don't need to." And somehow they don't realise that panic buying and stockpiling is exactly what they've done and they're no different or better than anyone else buying more than they need.

And all the people going to their second homes, I bet most of them have twisted it round in their mind and saying "Well actually our house in the country that we only spend a few weeks a year in is our real home and we're just as much locals as the people here full time and they all love us and I am disgusted at all these second home owners coming here and spreading coronavirus and using our scant resources."

People always seem to find a way to justify their own behaviour while condemning other people for doing exactly the same.

Do you think people should examine their actions more and see that sometimes they are part of this problem?

Probably we are all guilty of this at some point but now it seems particularly important to consider our actions and the impact on others.

I think GrumoyHoonMain is right about people needing to use what they have before buying more, actually Lifesavesocialdistance

Whether they have more because of prepping or panic buying they do not need to keep buying now when other people are struggling to find what they need.

This is surely what the preppers were prepping for.

I'm amazed at people on here complaining about people on beaches, in the parks, on footpaths etc and who fail to see that they're part of the problem.

I agree OP, one of my oldest friends, has been sharing lots of posts on Facebook about staying at home. However, she was in the pub the night before, having 'one last night out', apparently it was a chance to 'meet new people'. I didn't realise she was such a fuckwit
