    My version includes a lot more #$%@^ and omits steps 1 & 2. It’s all about efficiency.

    Ohhhh yes! I remember this video well — classic B-man. How do you do it? Even the part where you close the book had me laughing. And I will admit I fold all of my laundry in much the same way. The drawers are just filled with giant blobs.

    Ah, yes, a classic. You make it look so easy. Although in all loyalty, I would have to give the sheet-folding-expert nod to Jules’ mom, Babs.

      Oh, sure, if you want to be be “effective” and “efficient.” I think outside the box.

      Hear hear, Peggles! I actually stayed overnight at Babs’ recently, and [because it is Babs who raised me] washed and folded my bedding the next morning, and almost went back to watch the video because I started to panic about which corner went into which (it was one of the dreaded sheets with elastic all the way around!).

      It took two attempts, but in the end, I passed the Babs test! (I just had to have a glass of wine first.)

      Mathematically, you’ve got a 50% chance of laying the sheet on the bed the right direction. But reality tells us there’s only a 3% chance of the 50% chance.

    This video cracked me up the first time and I am still laughing. Open my linen closet. You will find all the sheets in there looks like this.

    I have this weirdly demented brain that secretly wishes I could have a fitted bedsheet folding competition with Martha Stewart so I could laugh at her for beating the crap outta her in her own type of crap.

    Fold a fitted sheet? What kind of oxymoron is that?!
    Mine just go out of the dryer and into the “uncooperative laundry” bucket.

      This right here. Now I have a name for that place where the pants that need hemming, the sweater that picked up a couple of blue marks from the jeans, and the *&@#$ fitted sheets wind up, never to be seen again.

    Mr B.Man, you’re totally nuts!!! LOL that’s not even folded! I use my bed to fold my fitted sheets. Now that the weather is getting hot, (i live in Louisiana,) I’m going to have to change the sheets every 2 weeks or so, but i’ve had plenty of practice folding my fitted sheet. I’ve watched M S do it, and i can’t follow her method, but i think she, and your audience would like my method of folding it. I get it flat and perfect every time. I’ll have to blog about it the next time i fold one, which will be very soon.
