wrapping presents

Wrapping presents are really annoying.

You fold the paper over it, then you try and hold the two sides with one hand so that you can get some sticky tape with the other hand, but then one of the sides slips out from underneath your fingers. You can't quite catch it in time, because one hand is holding the other side of the paper while your other hand is holding sticky tape. You realise that you are a bit stuck. You let go of the paper and randomly stick the tape somewhere. You have to start over.

After you have the two sides meeting each other, you need to seal the other two sides. You fold the paper over, but when you try to make it very neat, you accidently push the present out the other end. You then need to start over.

You finally get the sides meeting and one end of the present sealed. You realise that your paper isn't big enough to seal the last side. You then need to start over.

Eventually, the gift is wrapped neatly, no extra bits in weird places, no parts that have popped out of a hole some where. You realise that you didn't take off the price tag. You then need to start over.

At this stage, you are extremely frustrated and quite worn out. You slowly re-wrap the gift, being careful not the miss anything. You place a ribbon on top as the final touch. It looks good enough to put under a christmas tree in the middle of a large department store. You let out a long sigh and look at your watch. You are late.
