My MIL has not left the 70s and still does this. You can watch the discomfort on her face when she watches my 4yr old girl destroy good wrapping paper, or even rip open an envelope instead of saving it for re-use.

I save all the padded envelopes and never get to reuse them because apparently I don't send enough random stuff. And I was born in the 80s and there's no obvious reason.

But I draw a line at normal paper :)
