No that’s not true. Us men just lack the patience to fold fitted sheets.

I’ve seeing demonstrations on how to do it, but have not been able to get it right. I just use the wad method.

Maybe Bleeb could help me.

I knew dad gave me the wrong chromosome!

I’m a guy and I’m the one who folds the sheets, including fitte

Not just men. My ex needed help to do it, because before she married me, her mother still did her laundry for her.

My wife can’t fold ‘em either and asks me to do it. I don’t think such a gene exists! LOL!!

I must be the exception to the rule.

I’ve been able to fold a fitted sheet from the first time I tried it.

It’s not THAT difficult.

If there is a gene for this, I don’t think it’s a sex-linked gene.

Fitted sheets are not designed to easy folding.

Some people do better at folding them than others. I think many people try to figure it out and try to make it work and “look well” – but eventually say, “close enough.” or “good enough.”

Wouldn’t be so hard if you men would work together on them.

…from the dryer to the bed, no folding necessary.

Hmph our old nemesis

I could never get it right either….and this isn’t that an important thing to accomplish in life….lol

ROFL! I can ALMOST fold fitted sheets- but they will never be as they were in the package.

I know of ways to fold a fitted sheet, but it still looks like a fluffy lump that won’t lay flat.

Well, I know that I can’t.

From the washer/dryer to the linen closet – who cares if it is folded?

I can’t fold a fitted sheet either

There’s plenty of evidence to suggest we can’t fold jeans, either…

Is Beeb winking?

I can, cannot change a diaper though, but never had to just yet

My caffeine-fueled, engineerical brain works overtime trying to create solutions for stuff like this. So here we go…

Take all the fitted sheets, and one-by-one, put them all on the bed, one after the other.

When ready, peel one off and put it in the hamper, revealing a fresh one underneath.

As they are laundered, simply rotate the freshly laundered sheets to the bottom of the stack, eliminating the need to ever fold them, AND also freeing-up storage space.

If the first solution is not workable, then the contingency plan is to:

Roll them up in a ball and stuff them in a drawer… like the rest of us!

There… two problems solved before I’ve finished my third cup of coffee, and it’s hard to believe that I make money for this!

Everyone lacks that gene.

I told my wife not to buy fitted sheets.

Hey! I fold them better than my wife! But, I am an engineer. :-)

A burden us men need to learn to live with……

Throw them in the closet and be done with it!

Wait – those are supposed to be folded and not wadded up into a ball?

Insert sexist comment here about woman’s work.

I can fold a fitted sheet, but I need a large flat area.

I guess I’ve been in touch with my feminine side.

Somebody I used to work with told me how-step by step. But it when in one ear and out the other.( not the sheet, the instructions)

You mean to imply that there is a way?

No Bleeb two days in a row!

Corner to corner, again and again, fold under on two bent sides, fold in half, voila, you’re done!

fold? sheets?

If you can fold fitted sheets, you are a mutant.

“I’ve seeing demonstrations on how to do it,”

FAKE NEWS!!!

Folding them is as dumb as ironing them.
