Toilet paper madness on balcony: "If I didn't make a mistake, that's 360 rolls"
The photo shows how innumerable packs of toilet paper are stacked on the balcony up to the ceiling. “If I haven't made a mistake, that's 360 roles,” comments one user, stunned. "It's pretty brazen to show off your anti-sociality so openly," says another. "High risk of break-ins now," says another user with a wink.
Meanwhile, some supermarkets have had to take extreme measures to prevent hamster purchases . At most cash registers, there is a hint that there are quantity restrictions for particularly sought-after goods. The owner has now even set a minimum purchase value for an Edeka in Unterhaching, Bavaria. Customers can only buy toilet paper from an amount of 25 euros.
