An Australian woman took stockpiling to new heights - by accident.

The Janetzkis typically order 48 rolls every three months, but they bungled the order after switching to a new service.

She mistakenly ordered 48 boxes of the company’s toilet paper, which comes in 48-roll boxes. That amounted to over $2,000 of the stuff. This was in February, she told the Australian Broadcasting Company, a few weeks before the country was impacted by coronavirus concerns. She and her husband Chris, naturally, stacked all these boxes up in their garage to make a TP throne,

Australia is facing a toilet paper shortage — similar to the one some Americans are now facing — due to panic buying induced by coronavirus fears.Chris, on the other hand, doesn’t get the non-accidental kind of toilet paper hoarding:"I couldn't believe that people have been mass-buying toilet paper like that," he told ABC.

Accidentally? Please. Some people have all the money in the world obviously, I'd hope they'd give some boxes away to charity organizations

Crazy stupid people ..

Accidents happen when ordering. Sure. But how do you not realize something is wrong with the $2000 price tag at check out?

But but butt... 😬

I get hand sanitizer, anti-bacterial soap & even surgical masks but I don't get hording toilet paper. Maybe I missed the story about toilet paper stopping COVID-19.
