Now that's some serious teasing—even girlfriends don’t mess around this much on their best days.

They found their car like this in the parking lot of the airport in Minnesota.

Whoever wrapped this needs to get disciplined at once.
This isn't what anyone wants to receive in the mail unless they're a caveman living under a rock. Patrick Star would like this.

Its stunned expression makes you wish it would just leave already.
