Home Made Rice Paper Rolls Testing Man's Patience

A local man who agreed to make rice paper rolls for dinner with his partner is having his patience tested to the absolute limits.

Jack Hardcliffe (28) has yet to successfully wrap one of his Vietnamese roll completely, claiming that the rice paper rolls are far too sticky.

"HOW THE F*CK ARE YOU MEANT TO WRAP THIS THINGS UP IF EVERYTIME I TRY GET THE FRONT BIT UNDER IT STICKS TO MY FINGER UNTIL IT TEARS" explained Jack who needed to take some time to calm down in the backyard.

Witnesses say the evening began positively, with Jack enthusiastically chopping vegetables and discussing how healthy the meal would be compared to ordering takeaway.

However, the mood quickly deteriorated the moment he was handed a bowl of warm water and a packet of rice paper sheets.

After tearing through his first three attempts, Jack reportedly began treating each roll like a bomb defusal, slowly folding corners while muttering obscenities under his breath.

"It looks easy when they do it at the Vietnamese place," he said while holding what appeared to be a translucent prawn and mint leaf football.

His partner Emma claims she successfully wrapped six rolls in the time it took Jack to destroy one.

"I honestly don't know what he's doing. You just fold the sides in and roll it," she explained.

By 8pm Jack had declared the rice paper itself to be poorly designed, blamed humidity, and suggested that the rice paper rolls they use at the Vietnamese place must be a different brand.

Sources confirmed he eventually gave up and ate the filling directly from the chopping board.
