This is perfect!

Every time my wife and I fold our fitted sheets after a wash, after we've fumbled our way with folding it, I say "one day I'll lookup how to do this properly."

Imagine my elation upon seeing this on HN. The article captures the exact level of snark too.

I’m not into the repeated cycle of folding clothes or sheets. Just leave them in hampers.

I fold my fitted sheets in half and then few more times, in my hands while standing. It doesn't look good, but the sheets are always stored out of sight, so I don't care.

But the article is great, especially the ghost joke.

I don't fold my clothes because they'll eventually be worn out.

Just wad it up and throw it in the closet.

Jam all the sheets in one pillow case for the set. Folding is…not my thing.
