Let's face it, folding fitted sheets is a miserable process. When they're brand new and still in the package, they look perfect. They're totally flat, completely smooth, not a wrinkle or a bulge in sight. But once you take them out of that package and unfold them, you will never see them look that good ever again. I mean, unless you're some sort of laundry-folding savant, which, let's face it, most of us aren't. Below is a description of what folding a fitted sheet is generally like.
- Procrastinate putting away the laundry, taking clothes from the basket as needed.
- After about a week, dump the remainder of the laundry on your bed so you're forced to put it away.
- Fold and put away all the clothes.
- Do the same with the regular sheets.
- Moan and groan about the stupid fitted sheet you've been avoiding.
- If you're a Catholic, pray to the patron saint of laundry-folding.
- Is there even a patron saint of laundry? Panic.
- Grudgingly pull the jumble of misery towards you. Try to untwist it somewhat.
- Attempt to find the corners. Get annoyed because you're certain they're hiding from you on purpose.
- Worry that you'll lose the corners on the first end while you're working on finding the corners of the other end. Wind up with a mouthful of cotton because you're paranoid.
- After getting all the corners found, discover the fitted sheet is twisted in some way. Try to straighten it out while obsessing over keeping the ends together.
- Once the fitted sheet is arranged in some vague semblance of order, begin folding. Do your best to ignore the fact that parts of it look horrible.
- Put fitted sheet away and pretend it's as neat-looking as the other sheets.
- Write a ridiculous blog post about how annoying it is to fold fitted sheets.
