What type of a madman are you to fold a fitted sheet?
Ball it up like a normal person and shove it in the linen cabinet. The wrinkles add character.
and space for snacks!
My wife grew up with parents who made her iron the sheets. She's ok now with some wrinkles but a very wrinkly sheet bothers her. So I learned to fold the fitted sheets by watching a YouTube video.
Oh my your poor wife. Send her my deepest sympathies for her trauma. Ironing the sheets...shudder... the horror.
Task failed successfully!
My folding strategy for the fitted sheet: wad it up into a ball and shove it in the linen closet, because there is no mathematically proven way to properly manage the topology of a fitted sheet, and anyone that says they can is a witch.
Flat sheet - fold half, half, fourths. Fitted sheet- fold half, half, fourths. Pillow cases- fold half lengthwise Stack. Roll. Pat to flatten.
Even after 40 years, I still can't even get the bloody things on right according to my wife. So we fold them and put them on together.
Our solution was to not have folded sheets. It's easy tofind fitted sheets when they're all fitted sheets.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
