What makes one toilet paper shortage more hysterical than another? On the whole it was little more than an annoyance here, in my experience, and most people thought it was ridiculous.
I didn't recall seeing much about it in the French or Spanish press at the time. Although now that I go back and look at the local news from the spring, I see there was panic-buying there too, so I stand corrected.

Word. Sorry if I was snarky. I just get the feeling that there's a sort of reverse-Anglo-exceptionalism sometimes (especially on here) which I don't think is helpful. Shit on the things that deserve to be shit on - there's enough of those things to keep us busy. But when it comes to recognizing our flaws in other peoples - that's actually a bit refreshing. In a twisted way.
