I can't fold a fitted sheet.

Please help.:help:

You're sheet out of luck.

[jennysmurf]

Sure you can. It's all about the corner tuck. I typed it all out, but it sounds complicated--it's really not. Really. Or, you could convince your wife that you just can't do it, or do it so badly that she does it anyway. Take your pick.

[opie's twisted balls]

You have sheets? Such a fancy man!

[Crispy123]

Theres no folding those things. You just kind of flip them a couple of times and stuff them in the closet on the bottom of the shelf.

I just finished option 2.
Here's how I hope it plays out when she gets home.

"You suck at folding"

"Yeah, I know. Sorry."

She'll refold, I'll grab a beer and watch some football.

You are so wise.

[sr71blackbird]

You need another person or something to hold the pockets of the opposite end of the sheet. Ideally, the other person drapes the pockets over their hands and you both back up until the sheet is taught and free of wrinkles, then, walk toward the other person and have them fold the pockets of their ends over the pockets on your hands, then spread your arms wide. Then, crisscross your hands and fold the other pockets over the opposite hand and then use your now free arm to help get the sheet folded nicely in half and then half again.

If you have no one, you can do it this way:

See? Now everyone's happy.:happy:

[Tall_James]

I just refuse to fold them. I tell my wife that I will fold every other sheet but I will NOT fold fitted sheets.

I also won't fold underwear. Stupid to do so.

[Crispy123]

You are so wise.

sounds like you got it all figured out. :smile:

I can't either. And so, life goes on.

I have people do that for me.

Your underwear is all wrinkled?

Savage.

You wear underwear? Stupid to do so.

[DolaMight]

fitted sheets are only capable of being folded when wrapping up a dead hooker.

[drusilla]

I can't either. I usually just do the corner tuck thing & fold it a bunch of times & it still winds up looking like a mess so i just stick it in the closet & hide it in the pile of sheets.

I have a similar method. I start out using the techniques that people tell me work every time. Then I ball it up and stuff it in the closet.

was just going to send you this youtube. it rules

[FUNKMAN]

pants where the waist is much larger than the thigh suck too!

[biggirl]

who folds any bedding? Shit, I wash and dry it, then it sits in the laundry basket until I need it again. Actually, I know how to fold a fitted sheet pretty good. Thanks to grandma in law. She's smart about these things. BUT the bedding still sits in the laundry basket until I need it again.

As for underwear folding...mine gets ironed and hung in the closet in the underwear section by type and then color.

[sr71blackbird]

Why launder bedclothes only to let them sit in a crumpled heap? Arent they all wrinkled when you put them on your bed? I like my sheets to look flat and smooth.
I can see if you only have one set of sheets and you wash them and then put them back on the bed.

[topless_mike]

That guy is soooooooooooooooo gay.

so are men who do laundry

Be a fucking man and put that woman in her place. You want the laundry done, house cleaned, and dinner on the table before you get home from work.

I just roll it up and throw it in the closet like a savage

Is that a euphemism for gay sex?

No.

[TheHalloweenGoddess]

I can do it but I don't bother much. Instead of grabbing the corners of a flat sheet, you grab the POINTS where the verticle seam is in each corner. Flip inward the elastic ends and you are left with a thick but rectangular sheet. Fold that up as usual. Shit I try to just wash and put back on!

[topless_mike]

Shit I try to just wash and put back on!


exactly. if you only have one set of sheets, then from bed to the warsh back to the bed.

[TheHalloweenGoddess]

Speaking of which...my bed is stripped now but I have to drag my stuff to the goddamned laundromat because this brand new piece of SHIT Whirlpool I got 6 months ago is broken...for the THIRD TIME!!

I just got a response today from Sears about getting this shit under control. the service number actually tried to tell me I could not get a new machine unless it broke 5 times in 6 months!!!

No way!! So I should be hearing back from someone soon about a replacement!
