Listening to DH wrapping my presents and I think he’s got me a live lobster

[WhenisitmyturntobePM]

It’s the only explanation. So far I’ve heard:

What the bugger….?
Breathe, just breathe…
1….. 2….. 3….. 4
Right I’m not wrapping it. I’m just not.
Arrrrrggggghhhhh

And the best…. ‘Fuckinora!’

I’ve offered to help but it didn’t go down well.

For context, we usually get each other about 3 presents and he’s been wrapping for an hour.

I love this thread, it's just so funny😄
Thanks for the update OP, love the mug!

Your DH seems sweet, clueless about wrapping presents but sweet!

Hope you've had a lovely, peaceful day!

My Nan was a huge Corrie fan, so I reckon it must have been Jack they were quoting originally and it just devolved to include swears in our household!

These are handy and they're drawstring so reuseble.

DH is the better wrapper in this house, although this year I was delighted to discover almost all DCs presents came in square boxes!
I still remember the year we got then toddler DD a weeble, have you ever tried to wrap a weeble? It kept popping up every time I tried to turn it.

So he didn't think to wrap them separately, or use tape to stick the two together.

I have a carer, let's call him 'Mark'.

In this house there is a saying, "there is the right way to do something, there is a wrong way to do something and then there is the Mark way to do something"

just grab a square bigger than your gift, gather all 4 corners at the top and tie with a ribbon. A hobo style package.

Snake on speed was actually a pair of Doc Martins, in a perfectly square box! Have absolutely no idea how or why he struggled so much! I’m heartbroken I didn’t get a reptile on an illegal substance, especially after all the swearing.. 😆

Put it on your wishlist for next year!

Gift bags.
Problem solved.

Your oven-cleaning DH can come and swoon on my sofa any time.
Form a queue, MNers.

Only just found this thread and although OH isn't that brill at wrapping one year he surpassed himself when he wrapped a wheelbarrow

I mean it was obvious what it was and he couldn't wheel it in but he did a good job

@2bazookas - He was cleaning the oven because I had a tantrum after he chose to make roast pork in it uncovered. We live in Aus and he has a fuck off giant BBQ bigger than a Jeep that would have been perfect, but no - the entire house stank of burnt fat and the oven was caked in crematorium juice. THEN the genius decided to spray it in oven cleaner. Two weeks later I asked when he was planning on cleaning it out (I have been working two jobs, seven days a week up until Christmas) and he looked at me blankly and told me that he thought that once it was sprayed, the job was done.
