Packing up your bedding in the morning-
How to Fold a Fitted Sheet Like a Pro Small | Large

There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.

Sorry, life is too short to watch that all the way through.
Not even sure why the thread title got my interest. I am far from being afflicted, maybe even completely opposite direction

Was bringing in the washing and I recalled catching the end of some how to on folding fitted sheets on the telly and wondered how they do it and then naturally thought Google will know. Ask a silly question and you'll get a bloody complicated answer so back to my deviant scrunchy ways.
Which got me to thinking about all the manic grey nomads you come across camping and vanning with too much time and money on their hands and we needed a special thread to judge the best of them and their ways. You know those pics of rollout synthetic lawns with portable picket fences and garden gnomes, etc, etc....
Do we have a winner?

OMG...that's brilliant...!    :cup:

I hate folding fitted sheets.  I hate it when the missus asks me to put the washing away and there's a fitted sheet involved.  I try so hard to get it folded neatly and I never seem to be able.................

Why are you looking at me so strangely...?

Life is not fair Darcy. You live in Adelaide and try so hard to pass your Grey Nomad 101 exams and all you get is the odd rubber stamp smiley face for most improved or most participated  :(

If he could fold it like that standing in the back yard under the clothesline I'd be impressed

LOL...too true.

mind you...you have achieved 'hard floor camper' status here.  That has to count for something. Recognition of prior learning perhaps? :cup:

I'm an Adelaidian, I watched the whole video - and yes it did impress me!!

My wife also says that I have OCD - maybe cleaning out the grooves in my camper awning poles with a toothbrush before I sold it gave her that idea...  :-[

Nothing wrong with a bit if OCD in the right places like the shed and garage as for folding sheets wouldn't know they are a mythical creature that magic appear all nicely folded in the cupboard after I put them in the wash when the missus asks  me to take the laundry basket out
