Are you tired of the, "roll it into a clump" method? This 17 second video will help.
Hi, I'm Carl Craft and I have a problem. Smoking? Nope, kicked that in 1999. Sniffing glue? Nope, never took hold. Gambling? Not really my thing.
Drinking? Well, jury is still out on that one.
No, the problem I have is: I can't fold a friggin' fitted sheet. I've seen some people do it. They somehow take a non-perfect rectangle and tuck and fold until there's a neatly folded sheet that looks presentable in a civilized society.
I've tried a hundred times. It never, ever works out as intended. My fitted sheet always ends up being a rolled up ball of cottony chaos that I shamefully I stuff into the back of the closet until I need to change sheets again. Then, when I break it out, it's a wrinkled, embarrassing mess that I hide from prying eyes.
But this video actually looks doable. Have a look! I'm binge watching it later today after an marijuana edible so I can concentrate fully on each aspect of the process and, believe me, when I finally get it there will be a celebration! No longer will I have to keep the bedroom lights off! No longer will I live with the shame of fruitless fitted sheet folding...
Oh, and I have another sheet tip for you, if you don't mind me adding. So you don't mix up your sheet sets, assuming you've reached the stage in your manhood where you actually have more than one set of sheets, once they're all folded nicely use the pillow case as a storage unit. Just put the folded sheets into the pillow case and stack that neatly in your linen closet and you'll never have a mismatched set again in your life. Hallelujah!
