If you’re thinking of opting for Amazon’s gift-wrapping offer when you order a product from them, think again:

I ordered a top of the line toaster for my parents’ anniversary from Amazon last week, and on the order page I noticed an option to have it gift wrapped for six dollars more, so I figured, what the heck. A professionally wrapped present would be sure to impress them even more, as well as add some elegance to my boundless capacity for cheerful giving.

The package arrived yesterday and I quickly opened it up, only to find this:

Are you kidding me? What the hell is this crap???

It looked like they just tossed my toaster in a raggedy bag and then hurriedly tied it up with a 50 cent ribbon, the thread already wearing out at the edges. I paid six bucks for this?? I swear to God Amazon, that toaster had better be a work of technical perfection, or I’m sending Al Qaeda to your doorstep.

Unbelievable.
