This stupid gift wrap

What is even the point of this crap? It looks silver but is completely clear and doesn’t say that anywhere on the packaging.

I’ve done this four times. You’d think I’d learn

Only once so far for me. Still have some of that roll I think.

If I had a nickel for every time that happened I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

😂 I’ve done it once. I feel it is a right of passage for gift givers. 😂

Just wrap it like 2x with the clear stuff and then at least they have a project 😂

What I hate the most is not finding out until the very last moment that you're about to wrap something to give it away and then, boom, you have no way or time to go buy another.

Imagine just saying “screw it” and wrapping the gift in this anyways. I would laugh so hard if someone did that to me!

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me three times, there’s a little bit of shame to go around here. Admittedly, maybe I should have caught on to your character by now, but you know, you’re the one doing the fooling. This doesn’t have to be a black-and-white situation.

Fool me four times, I’m big enough to admit that the shame is leaning back towards me. After three times, I really should have been a little more skeptical. You’ve got me there.
