What I think is funny is that there is a post circulating on Facebook now
about storing your sheets in the or one of the pillowcases. I began doing
that when I got my first apartment. It just made sense to me and I have no
need to have perfect sheets.

I can fold a fitted sheet if I flat out have to but I despise doing so.

When I worked in the layaway dept. at K Mart, one of our jobs was to do what
was called "re-wraps". Every stinking day we had at least two full shopping
carts of stuff that customers had opened the packages of. Once in a while it
was a toy or some such thing. But mostly it was sheets, curtains and drapes.
The two worst things were the larger sheet sets and large drapes. It wasn't
enough to just fold them neatly. They had to be folded precisely to fit back
in the cardboard or whatever wrappings we had. And then we had to try to
hold them perfectly still while we shrink wrapped them.
