You mean balling it up and throwing it in the closet?

You would bring that witch into it. This is the method that worked for me.

The dude doing the folding sounds a bit like Nick Saban.

I am terrible at it. I've wrapped 4 presents so far. On two of them I ripped the paper on one end while attempting to get a nice tight wrap. On another I misjudged the amount I needed and didn't quite cut enough paper.

On all 3 I made necessary adjustments and cut out a piece and placed in top of the rip, or to cover the shortage.

Once I get over 50% of the way finished there is no turning back. Have to roll with the punches and solve the problems i created. I put some serious effort into it though.

I feel like, if it's going to get balled up and thrown away anyway, why make sure the wrap is perfect?

I am. I ran out of scotch tape last night wrapping my wife's stuff, so I used red masking tape. I seriously DGAF either.

Michelle is such a bitch about every gift I give her. I even write on the cards stuff like;

TO: Ms. Attitude

FROM: Awesome Guy

or

TO: The Grinch

FROM: Jesus

Only presents that I buy are for the wife, she buys everybody else's gifts. My receptionist wraps those for me. If I wrapped them, they would look like chewed bubble gum

I've given up on wrapping myself. I just use bags and tissue paper now.

Mine look like a retarded man with one hand wrapped them.

My wife has actually closed her eyes and wrapped her own present, and it looked far better than I could have done.

I wrap poorly so that my wife will do all the wrapping for me.

If the present recipient doesn't like the wrap job, just tell him/her that he can reject it and you'll return it for cash.
