Toilet Roll Panic

1. Sudden uncontrollable anxiety sufferred during use of a sit-down public lavatory when it is discovered that the toilet roll is missing or has run out.

2. A phrase coined by the chief executive of the Hong Kong Consumer Council, during The Great HK Toilet Roll Crisis of 2020 which arose from rumours of a lack of supply due to manufacturers switching production to face masks.
