Crap Wrapped

[sherrardk]

Apparently you can order gifts and get them 'crap wrapped' (ie wrapped badly) - I found out about it because my son bought a friend an inappropriate present and didn't want my delicate eyes to see it. In this case it's probably a good idea (makes him feel good) but why would you pay to have something wrapped badly?

So that it looks like you've done it yourself I suppose.

Or, the people working in the shops really ARE that hopeless and handless and employers, having given up trying to train staff have just gone with what they have. Kewel.

It's really badly done - you couldn't give it to someone looking like that. I'm tickled by the fact that he thinks I'm so delicate though.

Dunno, All my wrapping is crap and I do it for free.

I've been doing it for years. Bring on the parcels, I'll do them for a £1 each.

Flipping heck - just asked him and he paid £3 for the wrapping (apparently it was worth it, extremely intrigued as to how inappropriate the book is).

Is it crap wrapped in plain Brown paper, sherr ;-)

Is the service provided by Perrin Products (Grot) Limited?

It's wrapped in two types of crap wrapping paper - makes my wrapping look like I work in Harrods gift service.

Now that does sound proper crap to me ( love it ).

I love the fact that the boy thinks I'm so innocent, bless him (I've told him he's virtually an adult and it's his business - he's bought some really thoughtful (cheap) presents for his friends including gin and tonic popcorn).

Yep, we've all tried it on with our mom's, sherr ( just try and keep a straight face ) ;-)

[Buenchico]

Some things just have to be wrapped carefully ;-)
