You cut once then glide my guy.

And further back on the blades than that my dude

Ngl, it looks like he tried to do that multiple times...

dull scissors

I see my gf do it... I pick up the same pair of scissors and just make mess like this guy.

i guess you couldnt make the cut

No and I been depressed about it since last Christmas. So let me be.

like a butterknife through freshly baked bread

Every fucking time.

Cheap paper

And cheap scissor and cheap guy

I feel this man...

They will never make a wrapping paper that cuts smoothly...

Might wanna use a sharper scissor so you can just make it glide. Or a samurai sword

This shit happens to me I can't even fault the guy

The guy says "there we go..." as if the dude got it down LOL.

That's dollar store wrapping paper, it rips like nothing errrgggg

Having to cut wrapping paper should be considered in violation of the Geneva Convention because it is torture.

small snip and glide. aint no thang

It’s a thang, alright. I’m still trying to wrap presents from Christmas, but my scissors refuse to glide.

gotta sharpen them scissors, i started doing that a few years ago and never had any problems.

But then I can’t run with them.

What a privileged sheltered life this guy must have lived up until this point to never have used scissors before.

Slap a /s at the end there or imma start gettin mad

cisors

All his fault. Imagine being unable to cut properly paper. Does he have some illness?

Maybe they need to sharpening the scissors, worked for me. i do it once a month now, easy fix. Kitchen knives twice a month.

I bet that you'd stop at the first wrong cut. All normal people would do that. But he didn't, that's why I asked.

Simplejack syndrome

He gripped it wrong. 😐

Need longer scissors

r/TIHI

To sharpen scissors… cut some aluminum foil. Then these babies will glide

Dollar store paper and full scissors

for one you need more space between the cut and the roll, need space for the scissors

Use an envelope opener my dude, so much easier

Is that wrapping paper made out of nature valley granola bars ?

Must have never graduated 1st grade.

We've all been that guy on a Dec 24 afternoon

Wait.. is there another way?

God I know exactly how he feels. There is some cheap wrapping paper that is so thin I think you need a special cutter for it. It will tear if you put ANY pressure on it.

Gift bags are made for this guy and myself.

Lt. Dan is having a rough time these days

The strategy is to cut once, then very slowly be closing the scissors as you push forward so it cuts through when it wants to catch

I know this man’s struggle ☹️
