Wrapping paper is expensive. I mean really expensive. It is like $8.00 per roll. I am a much bigger fan of putting the gift in one of those fancy gift bags. Although those are expensive too. But if you keep all the bags that people give you, you can just reuse them later for free.
I just hate the idea of spending a lot of money and time wrapping up presents. The purpose is to cover up the box so you can't see what is inside it. But why can't we use newspaper? Does it have to be that fancy? Wifey's grandma loves all wrapping paper and always comments during the five minute unwrapping session, "what beautiful paper" and proceeds to carefully peel the tape and paper from the box, saving all of the paper. I just want to rip the paper so bad and scream "for the love of God unwrap the gift!" Then you have the huge mess of paper to clean up.
But above all else, I hate wrapping the gifts more than anything. I hate every aspect of it. Buying wrapping paper. Finding scissors. Finding tape. Cutting the propper size of paper for the box (I ALWAYS have too little or too much paper). I have a reputation for being a "goon" when it comes to wrapping gifts, and I embrace the label. I have no desire to learn how to wrap presents good. I think it is funny when I didn't cut enough paper and I have to end up cutting a new "patch" of wrapping paper to cover it up. I also think it is funny when I use too much paper and the ends are all rough and bunched up rather than neat, crisp, and clean folds. Fuck it.
