People Shame 31 Jerks Who Are Making The Coronavirus Crisis More Difficult For All Of Us (New Pics)
Bulk-buying hand sanitizer or hoarding rice may not look like a big deal for some. But it adds to the shortage of supplies depriving those really in need and making the matters worse. Plus, it’s been proven to earn one a badge of dishonor: the title "corona jerk."
Now that the real threat of the virus is well under way, corona jerks are getting more desperate in making plain bad decisions. From licking a toilet seat for the "coronavirus challenge" to smearing saliva on the handrails in the train, every corona criminal will face a trial by the internet police.
So let’s go through some teeth-clenching cases together, but beware of contraindications—some of that dumb behavior will make your blood boil. After you’re done, there’s another batch of corona jerks from Bored Panda’s previous compilation here.

Stop Making A Hard Situation Worse
Today I went shopping to pick up some food and toilet paper because we are actually running out and need some. I am in my 30s, have the internet and options to adapt in this situation...
I saw this fb post and it broke my heart. Hoarding is not the solution and we need to be mindful of others. We are all in this together!

That is so very heartbreaking and sad, just think there are thousands and thousands of people in a similar situation. Please people STOP and think of others as well.

This Isn't Right
Today I went grocery shopping, and saw this elderly man, probably at least 84 years old, with an empty trolley staring at empty shelves of bread. My heart broke. I had gotten the last two hot dog bun packs and gave him one out of my trolley, I said “At least it’s still bread” and he laughed and thanked me (I felt that was the least I could have done for him) If you see an old person, please stop and ask if they need anything. Stop and give them something from your trolley that is no longer on the shelves that you could easily come back and get tomorrow. Who knows where they came from or how long it took them to get to the shops, only to get there and find empty shelves. In a time of complete and utter maddens and chaos, please don’t forget to look out for each other and look out for those who need it most. Check up on your elderly neighbour or friend or elderly stranger on the street. Don’t be consumed by greed. Love thy neighbour.
Panic buying amid the coronavirus outbreak has been spotted in numerous places around the globe.
Paul Marsden, a consumer psychologist at the University of the Arts London, believes that such behavior is linked to our currently unstable emotional state. “It’s about ‘taking back control’ in a world where you feel out of control, and it plays to our fundamental psychology needs.” Plus, if everyone around is stockpiling, you get the signal that it’s the right thing to do.
Dmitrios Tsivrikos, a lecturer in business psychology at University College London, believes that the toilet paper has become an icon of mass panic. The fact that COVID-19 is such a novel virus we know so little about adds to the fear and fuels irrational behavior.

Coronavirus Panic-Buying Reaches A New Low: Blind Shopper Says Customers Steal Toilet Paper From Her Trolley As She Walks Around Supermarkets With Her Guide Dog
Erin 4 years ago
I had to help an elderly woman in Meijer yesterday that had her toilet paper stolen out of her buggy. I went over to the guy that took it and took it out of his cart and stared him dead in the eyes the entire time. Then I walked back to her and escorted her to the front to pay. It was awful. Would he want someone doing that to his grandmother?

I Think He Got Enough
Rabbit Carrot 4 years ago (edited)
He might be restocking a shop for all you know. My local store owner got screamed at for having a van full of toilet rolls the other day, turns out he’d just been to the cash and carry to restock his own store shelves. Of course the owner of this van might be a hoarding a-hole but let’s be careful of condemning everyone with a van full of tissues just in case they have good intentions.

Don't flush those through the toilet!! Paper towels do not disintegrate like toilet paper and will clog your pipes in no time.

I truly hope no one actually buys these from those tossers who are taking advantage of people. I am truly disgusted by what is happening.

I Want To Punch Him (Today At Walmart)
Marcellus the Third 4 years ago
Nope, just take a packet out with a polite tho somewhat absent minded, "oh thanks so much" as if he's a restocker. 95% chance he's confused, mumbles "you're welcome"; in the US the other 5% he shoots you dead. Your mileage may vary...

This Woman, Hoarding All The Wet-Wipes At The Local Costco
Jim Kang 4 years ago
Let's not all jump on the condemnation train. 1. When was this picture taken? 2. Is she a store owner? 3. Is she buying for a school district/clinic/senior housing/or anywhere they need to disinfect? These are just a few thoughts off the top of my head. Yes, she might be a c u next Tuesday. But the fact of the matter is, we don't know.

Well, why did you let them? In many places stores enforce a 2-3 items per person policy.

Coronavirus Panic
What does a Foxxy say? 4 years ago (edited)
I actually wonder if this is because of the Coronavirus. When I worked at a supermarket we had a couple of people coming in a few times a week getting a s**t load of milk. One of them owned a cafe and the other owned a Wendy’s franchise and they bought their milk from the supermarket coz it worked out cheaper for them than ordering it from elsewhere. My point is this person could be buying them for their business and not actually being a selfish person.

Clearwater Beach Packed Amid 'Social Distancing' For Coronavirus
Carol Emory 4 years ago
I look at it this way..the people that are ignoring it are all the ones that will be fighting for their lives while medical personnel shake their heads because not enough ventilators are available for this kind of pandemic. Maybe this is the wake up call to get the ignorant and privileged to start realizing they can't do whatever the heck they want. And any of them that were on this beach that later cause an outbreak resulting in deaths should be charged with assault and manslaughter for ignoring officials.

I honestly don't care what happens to the people who ignore warnings, but it's the fact that they become carriers and infect innocent people is the thing that sucks so bad. This group is also in the age range where they will most likely be fine. :/

What do you think ?

Still don't understand the obsessive need for toilet paper. Only 2-4% of sick people get diarrhea and the chances of getting sick are very low, too, so the chance of anyone needing this is close to zero. And even if you do need it, you don't get sick for SIX MONTHS...

There was an article claiming there would be a shortage of TP as China had switched production to face masks. So some people panic-bought as much TP as possible. Others saw and copied as that's what people do... fear that people know something that they don't. Soon after the first article other TP manufacturers outside of China were saying that there wasn't going to be a shortage, no need to worry, but it didn't get enough coverage. Then the panic spread to other goods once quarantine was mentioned and it was a downward slope from there.

On the bright side, all those hoarders won't be making the fortune they thought they'd make. There's no shortage of toiletpaper and handsanitizer in my country, Alll the fools thinking they would make some serious money are crying now. Some guy posted a video of a huge warehouse where he is working. It is stacked to the rafters with toiletpaper.
