I don’t.

I only use tin foil.

It’s really futuristic and looks ace under the tree when the lights sparkle off it.

I’ve just got snakes on a plane in my head now.

Strange place, my mind.

I wonder if Samuel L Jackson sacked his agent after that one.

Please tell me you’ve felt the glide, where you just hold the scissors open and it flows through ?!

Maybe the title confused him, he might have thought it was a metaphor for something deeper.

Same here and a lot quicker to do

OP I do know what you mean, if I don’t get that I know I’m not going to like wrapping paper, but just hate it when it all of a sudden stops and you get a tiny tear

Oh yeah baby!... let me hear that glide

I think it's just that joy when something does something the way you intend it. The joy of perfection.

It is why you cannot buy cheap paper as the thrill comes to an abrupt end a quarter of the way down.

The glide is great until it gets near the end and it bunches up and you end up tearing a raggedy end!

Always reminds me when I used to glide the scissors when I used to cut the baize when I worked in a pool table factory. It's a great feeling.

I love the crunch noise of proper fabric scissors cutting through material

Me too Lana. I love it, the feel and the results. I’ve got a particular pair of scissors I use for this task.

There and to the left a bit

It's certainly a pleasure but as others have pointed out one liable to be ruined by the snag and crease...or worse still it snagging and having to actually "cut" the last few inches and ending up with that cut look rather than a clean one.

Definitely up there with popping bubble wrap and flicking through freshly opened post-it notes whilst inhaling through your nose though
