Toilet paper wipeout! Thousands of rolls are feared DESTROYED as delivery truck crashes and bursts into flames
Jackson Barron For Daily Mail Australia

A delivery truck carrying toilet paper has crashed and burst into flames in Queensland.

The semi-trailer caught fire on the Gateway Motorway near Murrarie in Brisbane on Wednesday night as toilet paper panic buying intensified across Australia.

The supermarkets should not have waited until their shelves were empty before introducing limits. There was never any need to hoard toilet paper as there was more than enough for everyone.
That's why I never bought any extra.
The fact is that now millions of people have no toilet paper.
This country makes me so depressed as I'm forced to share it millions of effing morons.

We were caught in that mess this morning on a way to site.

Just got back from a doing a bit of shopping (NOT panic buying!!!).

The Woolworths at Belmont Forum is almost out of paper towels and toilet rolls again. Saw a couple of idiots coming out with a load of them in their trolleys as I was going in to have a look.

Didn't bother checking the Coles there because it would probably be the same. Seriously, I would be too embarrassed to walk around the shops with any amount of toilet rolls or paper towels right now. I'd need a disguise or something. Grin

Our local small IGA in Kooyong Road is also out of paper towels and toilet rolls. I was having a laugh about all this panic with the girl on the checkout and she said they won't be getting any more until next Tuesday.

I wonder if there will be people camping outside there next Monday night? Roll Eyes
