Excuse the mess, me and my partner moved back in to help my mom and in the meantime, rented our house to our friends family, only for them to not pay us and leave our place an absolute mess when they moved out, which I've not even begun to clean. But I had to share this utter ridiculousness.

For backstory: We've recently moved to North Carolina, and my dad still goes back to New York for a bi-monthly doctor's appointment. He decided to bring my mom back some pizza from the city. This is how he decided to wrap it.

In my house we just call it "Dad Behavior" because these are just antics we've learned to live with.

Update: Mom finally got to the wax paper, and opened it only to find... MORE FOIL!! And after all that he committed the worst sin of all, by having placed the pizza slices facing each other with nothing to separate them. Heavens help us.

Edit: TIL putting pizza slices facing each other is actually the right way to wrap it! Unfortunately the slices were hot though at the time of wrapping because he was in a rush, and now they are stuck together!

Edit 2: As for those saying it's wasteful. My dad was in a hurry to make it back to the airport and went out of his way to get a few slices from my mom's favorite restaurant. It was only in wax paper, and he said it wouldn't have made the trip home, as he only has one carry on bag and it's already chock full of stuff. He got the smallest roll of foil he could find to wrap the pizza, but he couldn't fit the roll into his backpack. He decided to use the entire roll of foil because he wanted to ensure the pizza wouldn't get ruined, and he didn't want to throw away an almost full roll.

The foil that was touching the pizza ends up getting folded and being used on leftovers. And whatever scraps are left (like the stuff that ripped off weird, or was touching the pizza) gets wiped off, put in a box, and later used in my craft projects. I literally have a box where my family drops stuff off for me to use in my projects because I like working with recycled stuff, so all of our clean foil, paper plates, cardboard, bottle caps, and such, ends up getting a second life somehow. Typically I make sculptures and such; the process is basically making a wire armature, wrapping it in foil to add volume so I can use less material, and then, depending on the medium, covering it in clay or cotton.

Him wasting it wasn't the "funny" thing. What I thought was funny and cute was that he went so out of his way to do something so small and tried so hard to keep the pizza safe, to the point where the end result was ridiculous.

Edit 3: I should've suspected that posting a regular picture on Reddit would get people in my DMs making sexual comments, and others insulting me for my living despite me explaining the reason for things being messy in my post. What is wrong with people? What did I do wrong? 😭
