I’m always surprised people never ask before using something at someone else’s house.

“Hey mom can I use the wrapping paper in the garage?”

“Oh that’s not wrapping paper. That’s wallpaper. The wrapping paper is in the closet.”

“Oh okay thanks!”

It's wrapping paper in the home I grew up in, I didn't think it warranted a discussion to use it.

I mean every time I am home and need to ask for wrapping paper I ask my mom even tho I grew up in the house.

It’s no longer my house and things change or I am unaware something was being saved for something special.

If it is not 100% yours always ask. Regardless of it being a coworker, friend, sibling, stranger, or parent.

It’s respectful.

Wrapping paper for xmas usually have xmassy colours and/or motifs, wall paper usually doesn't, and did you never retrieve at your home growing up before?

If you look at the tweet it does look like a pretty tame but still Christmas-like paper.

My comment wasn’t aggressive, I’m just saying you can look at the tweet and see the paper.
