6. From that statement, I'd say you have officially lost it. Take a deep
breath. Hurricane Charley after-effects, maybe?

10. Seriously, roll up all the sheets and stuff them in a pillowcase from the
same set. Stick it on the shelf. All organized, no muss no fuss.

Please no kissing of W it will just encourage him.

12. One time as a teenager I was in the laundromat trying to fold a fitted...
...sheet.


This elderly black woman came over and showed me how it was it done and I never had any problem since.

I think I am not allowed to tell anyone though.

14. Oh come on--tell us the secret---my Mother refuses to share it with me
and I'm now almost 40! At least I always know which ones are the bottom sheets in my linen closet-those would be the ones that aren't folded nice and neat like everything else:shrug:

29. How odd. I had the exact same experience.
Laundromat. Older Black woman saw me wrestling with the sheet and came
over and took pity on me.

34. Maybe it was the same lady...the Goddess of Fitted Sheets?
She goes around laundromats and helps struggling people with folding fitted sheets!

15. There is a trick to it....here's my method
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 06:23 PM by SaidFred
Spread the sheet out like it would be on the bed.
Take the top left corner (left if you are lying in bed) and put it wrong side out on your left hand. Now take the top right corner, bring it over and put it right side out over the corner already on your left hand. Bring up the bottom right corner and put it wrong side out over the other two corners, then bring the bottom left corner right side on top of the other three. You should be able to just fix up the sides of the folds a bit, take it off of your hand and leave the corners folded over the way they were on your hand. When you get used to this method you can do it whild they are still crumpled in a pile :)

Your laundry tip for the day!

21. After all this you will, I bet, roll the damn thing
up and throw it in the linen closet or wherever you keep your sheets. We go through that routine every time, and we end up stuffing that sheet in the closet. Works just as well messy as it does neat. For God's sake, don't kiss Dubya! Oh, yuck, yuck.

17. You truly need help! Quickly!
Jesus! That's how bastards like Bush get elected...all the people who hate folding fitted sheets vote for him...:eyes: Now look, Sweetie, take one pocket in one hand and the other corresponding pocket in the other hand and put them together, then flap the sheet, then...oh, shit...just stuff them in a pillowcase and shut the hell up! :-)

18. A couple of years ago
Martha Stewart did an episode on folding linens. She showed the viewers how to make a beautiful folded fitted sheet. Her method really works. Ever since, my linen closet has looked all tidy!

25. Mitered corners are the secret threat to success!
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 06:34 PM by InkAddict
Lay out sheet w/mitered material to the inside of the sheet all the way around. Hold at mitered edges on each side and fold in half. Hold the other way, etc...until you get the size you want to shove in the closet. Ask SO to help hold the sheets when they're around. Two heads make short work.

Please, bite your tongue about kissing W. Whatever it is, it might be catching.

31. I just crumple it into a ball and then stomp on it a couple times
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 06:54 PM by Philosophy
to make it nice and flat, and then hide it under some other nicer-folden sheets in the closet.
