Ratfactor's Illustrated Guide to Folding Fitted Sheets

I fold my fitted sheets in half and then few more times, in my hands while standing. It doesn't look good, but the sheets are always stored out of sight, so I don't care.

But the article is great, especially the ghost joke.

An excellent explainer article!

I just roll em up

Just wad it up and throw it in the closet.

Jam all the sheets in one pillow case for the set. Folding is…not my thing.

This is perfect!

Every time my wife and I fold our fitted sheets after a wash, after we've fumbled our way with folding it, I say "one day I'll lookup how to do this properly."

Imagine my elation upon seeing this on HN. The article captures the exact level of snark too.

I don't fold my clothes because they'll eventually be worn out.

I’m not into the repeated cycle of folding clothes or sheets. Just leave them in hampers.

My mom scolded me when I was young, telling me that I needed to know how to fold fitted sheets because women care about that sort of thing. This made me dread washing sheets.

Turns out that no woman I've dated has cared about whether fitted sheets are folded properly, nor have any of them known how to fold them. You know what they do care about? Cleanliness of sheets.

Bookmarked anyway. Maybe I'll ingrain the method before reaching my deathbed.

Bachelor hack: you don't need to know how to fold fitted sheets if you only have one set of sheets.
