Snow=Crazy People

We are supposed to get a huge snow storm (well for our area it's huge) and people are acting like lunatics.  I went to Walmart last night to get poster board for my sons project and it reminded of Black Friday.  Everything was sold out.  No milk. No bread. No soda. People fighting and the long lines.  Pure craziness.  What the hell is about the snow that people freak out??

Re: Snow=Crazy People

  • That happened around here last weekend.  I was in Trader Joe's and the bread shelves were wiped clean! 

    We're supposed to get 2-4 inches from this storm, but Williamsburg is always right on the edge of the rain/snow line.

  • Even when they were calling for 20 + inches in minneapolis it wasn't crazy like that. I guess it depends on how used to it the locals are. They still drive stupid but I don't remember a run on the groceries like that. Wow!

    I thought this would be the case here because we get a fair amount of snow in Pittsburgh, I mean not as much as MA but still enough.  I must have been wrong though because the roads were crazy last night will people going to the stores.

  • I think it goes from Philly south, everyone is nuts when it snows! They forget how to drive and act like the roads will never be clear again. Puhleeeeeze, they've been spraying the roads with salt brine for days and they're out plowing while it's snowing! I'm actually headed for groceries today before it's supposed to start (because I have an empty fridge - not cause I'm freaking), hopefully they have what I need! I have a store I can walk to, but I drive to the good one when I need a lot.
  • I am picturing milk sandwiches again from codes comment! Seriously people need to relax! I mean here the pizza guys deliver in blizzards. No one is going to starve to death if the roads are bad for a day!

  • I know, it drives me crazy!  People here lose all sense of intelligence when it even starts to just mist outside.  People can't drive, they become lunatics in parking lots, on the road, in stores.  I will never understand the mad rush to the grocery store to pick up milk, bread, and toilet paper.  WHY people, WHY?  In this day and age, living with the counties clearing roads as fast as they can, and with grocery stores every few feet, do people feel like they'll be unable to leave the house for weeks after it snows???? 

    The last big 2' of snow we got in Dec., people were out the next morning.  Of course, I thought they were idiots because I saw some woman in our neighborhood ran out for Starbucks (seriously?!? THAT's what's important?!?).  But, at least it shows that the roads were relatively clear enough to allow it.  I just wish people would calm the F down in these situations.
