I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it's because the pictures are near useless in describing how the process is done. Specifically steps 2 and 3.

It's because they took it from LPT and added a caption to the bottom. Then the caption was taken off then reposted here again.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

Looks pretty straightforward to me.

1) Hold out the sheet. 2) Do some stuff with the sheet. 3) Do some more stuff with the sheet. 4) Lay out the perfectly folded sheet.

What could be simpler?

Super bonus pro-tip: Take the entire folded sheet set and put it INSIDE one of the pillow cases. Keeps it nice and tidy and all organized.

Mine, too. Her folded fitted sheets are indistinguishable from her folded top sheets.

[–]NapalmFrog 2 points3 points ago

I think that's it's actually upside down (relative to 3). Just look at the way the curve comes inward. To get to stage 4, simply fold in thirds.

[–]captainlavender 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

According to another dude on this thread, you can basically just fold it in half lengthwise and widthwise and all the round corners end up on top of each other. So, just smooth them out so they rest parallel to each other and then you're good to go?

Step 3.5: Draw a chalk pentagram on the floor of a pitch black room and place tallow candles on all five points. Call out to Lucifer and name the person who is most dear to you, then kill a virgin goat with an obsidian blade and eat its heart. Proceed to step 4.

No matter how many videos/images I see explaining this, I'll never be able to do it properly. I've resigned myself to just wad them up and throw them into a corner for the rest of my life.

Yea, I've tried like 4 times...watched the youtube stuff...I have decided that it is just not meant to be- still kind a sore point but whatever... fuck you fitted sheet

[–]Warning_BadAdvice 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I've accomplished it exactly once. It surprised the hell out of me, and I had to show everyone. Once the excitement wore off, I realized I had just excitedly told people about folding sheets, and promptly facepalmed.

[–]shawnaroo 3 points4 points ago

I hope you kept track of which people weren't sufficiently impressed, and have never spoken to them again.

Rest assured, they were berated and admonished for lacking appreciation of such fine work.

[–]theinfamousj 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So the thing they don't tell you is that when you put it on your hand, you have to alternate sides. If the first corner has the mattress side out, then the next corner has to have the body side out, etc. That should fix all problems.

[–]Teledildonic 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My mom taught me a great trick:

  1. Lay the fitted sheet out so the scrunchy bit is topside.

  2. Locate the end of each corner seam (end of seam opposite elastic), pull out until taught. This gives you perfect corners.

  3. Now that the sheet is rectangular, fold away!

[–]stlnthngs 7 points8 points ago

My mom taught me this many years ago, and my grandmother has a little better system. Fold everything together, top sheet, fitted sheet and put in all inside the pillow case. This way you never lose a piece of the puzzle. The first time I folded a fitted sheet in front of my girlfriend she was shocked "how did you do that!" I was even more surprised that she didn't know how.

[–]CleanBaldy 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So, I just tried this. I was holding the sheet like #1 and then couldn't figure out what #2 was showing, so i improvised, just folding any two corners together I could muster up. I'm proud of myself for making it to #2.

[–]Godphree 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You fold the sheet in half, tucking one corner inside another. Then you fold it in half again, bringing the other pair of corners into the first pair. Once all the corners are nested, just fold it up the rest of the way. It's easiest if you have a clean bed to lay it out flat on.

[–]CleanBaldy 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is like rocket science or calculus. I can read it all day, study the pictures and diagrams forever and even have your simplify it for me. After all of that, I still just look at it with a blank stare. On a positive note, I made it to #3 with your help, before failing miserably again!

That's impossible. My generalizations are usually spot-on.

Maybe the lower-income areas of Canada don't care about fitted sheet folding? The only signs we had were "Don't make a mess"-type things and not to overload the washers.

Could be a 'merican thing. Then again, you guys apparently take your milk in bags, so I wouldn't put it past you to have some other zany shit.

[–]I_want_that 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The laundromats I went to just had notices about not putting gum in the dryers. Having found gum in the dryers a number of times, I can only attribute it to the patrons not having a basic level of literacy. I have been to hundreds of laundromats across the US and have never seen a sign illustrating folding sheets. I still don't know how to do it.

[–]nvsbl 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hundreds? Geez. Do an AMA.

I may have been wrong to assume my experience with laundromats would be the same experience had elsewhere, but I'll never admit that in writing. If you want an apology, PM me your phone number or come to New Jersey.

I think only half the population has bagged milk (the EST part). Only big families buy bagged milk, really, because 4L is a LOT of milk.

Easier: Remove fitted sheet from bed and launder. Remove fitted sheet from dryer and rush back to the bedroom. Install fitted sheet, smoothing wrinkles toward edges. Done.

When fitted sheet fails, buy new one, repeat as necessary.

LPT have only one set of bed sheets. so when you wash them, just put them right back on the bed so you dont have to fold them.

I don't know why everyone has so much trouble with this. I saw this pic and immediately went and got a fitted sheet, put the corners inside of each other and folded that bitch, first try. I didn't even have a plan going into it. I just folded it and it worked with like 0 effort.
