It fits in the superior Dutch culture to answer such calls from the authorities with a middle finger and with an extra car ride to the Albert Heijn.

Hamster not, for God's sake, asked the Prime Minister Friday afternoon. It fits in the superior Dutch culture to answer such calls from the authorities with a middle finger and with an extra car ride to the Albert Heijn. Because in this country of 17 million virologists, 17 million epidemiologists and 17 million logistics experts, everyone always knows everything better than the people who learned it. Hoarding can also easily be done in a rich country, where far too many people have far too much money, which they do not miss when they have put it in dried legumes and pots of pasta sauce for a long time.

The fascinating thing about this mass hysteria is that the people who, in the best Dutch tradition, throw themselves on packs of pasta with their full weight while poking aside with elbows and “I was first, she's tweeds and then you're just screaming, all say the same for the microphones of the radio reporters of the NIS:'I'm not hoarding, I have teenagers, I happened to go away for a weekend, we just eat a lot at home, I expect visiting, I buy every week 24 cans of sausages and 31 packs of pasta and 18 bottles of cola and 11 packs of bakery and 13 jars of brown beans and 31 packs of shelf life milk and 16 bags dried things I don't know exactly what it is but it looks like long lasting, there's nothing weird about it, how hoarding. '
Lying about what you're doing, because you're embarrassed, because you know that hysterical amounts of toilet paper are antisocial and self-centered and disruptive and bastard and stupid, is the first step towards healing.

Although I do not know if that wisdom also applies to the people who allegedly take empty bottles to hospitals to secretly fill them out from the dispensers with hand alcohol that are there for visitors and patients.Or for those who say they didn't plan on hoarding, but still feel “forced” to join a supermarket run, because they see others load three shopping carts.

Or for the people who complain loudly about the hoarding neighbor, while they themselves hoist 17 cans of tomato sauce up the stairs, 'but in my case it's anders'.Hoarding is pointless, it unnecessarily burdens the system, and it is extremely antisocial towards people who are just working all day - to take care of corona patients, for example, or teach children, or put lectures online, or operate the train - and those at the end of the day. of the day want to buy some ingredients for dinner. Or a toilet roll.

And shame on you, in all your fibres.

Hoarding? Sheila Sitalsing is very hard: 'Shame on you, in all your fibers'
