Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for July 24, 2023

I feel your pain Roy.

I never try. Just wad it up and stuff it in a drawer.

I have 1 fitted sheet. I wash it and put it back on the bed. No need to make things harder than they need to be.

I have a system for folding fitted sheets.

Sometimes . . . it even works!

Just put them back on the bed, so they keep their shape.

I own two fitted sheets. One I wash and put back on the bed until it wears out and goes to the animal shelter as cleaning rags. The other is new and in the box. It goes on the bed when I get back from the animal shelter.

I never have to fold fitted sheets. When they’ve finished drying, I put them on the bed that I took them off from before I put them in the washer. Works every time.

Folding sheets is easy. Fitting a duvet sheet – now that’s the challenge

Folding a fitted sheet is a woman’s revenge for a man inventing the mammogram.

The gods hadn’t invented fitted sheets in time for Hercules.

The last time I bought a fitted sheet I wrote down the steps to unfold it and reversed the steps to fold it back up after a wash. Still a PITA.

wait…fold sheets?

Oh, and because nobody mentioned it so far, nice Peanuts reference. 10 days earlier and it would have been on the day that Linus was first mentioned, 71 years ago (Lucy offered to trade him for Charlie’s tricycle).

I learned to fold a fitted sheet after seeing an actor do it in a play (“A Couple of White Chicks Sitting Around Talking”). She tucked the corners of one end into the corners of the other, holding the corners to make a rectangle with the sides hanging sort of folded in; from there, she brought the corners together, and folded like a flat sheet. It works well, unless you fold it with the sides on the outside; then they wrinkle it up.

I have really bad arthritis in my hands so I bought a set of QuickZip sheets. The top of the fitted sheet zips off and on so I don’t have to worry about folding it. I also don’t have to struggle with pulling the sheet over the corners or lifting the bed to pull the sheet over the corners. I love them!

When you buy fitted sheets they’re already folded, our mistake is unfolding them. It’s the old, “putting the worms back in the can,” problem. “Don’t open that can!”

Mine is simple. Get it more or less flat. It doesn’t have to be rectangular.

The sheet on their bed already is awesome!!

Blankie is rolled into a (still damp) ball in the corner of one of the sheets.

That bed spread was made in 1986!

Ok. WHY on earth fold a fitted sheet. Bundle it up and put it away.
