I need to study this carefully. Watched it twice and feel like I'm losing my mind; can't get the hang of it.

To be perfectly honest, I just roll them up. I mean, they're sheets. Who the hell cares if they're stowed away properly? Unless you're a woman. Or the sergeant major is coming around to check? I'm not a woman, and the sgt major won't be coming around to check anything ever again - teach him to call me a horrible little man!

On an entirely unrelated note, does anyone know the best way to clean blood off a hammer....?

Ah yes, everyone knows only WOMEN care about FOLDING their linens.

Everyone knows you just make fake corners, then line them up end to end and fold them in thirds, and then place them one by one on top of each other, dowse them with an accelerant, and ignite them with the nearest source of flame. Inbox me for more laundry tips.

I always fold my clothes and my linens. I don't go in public unless I'm looking fresh.

Well you must be a woman then

As Ribbons said I watched that video (and several others) repeatedly and still found myself staring at the thing all slack-jawed. I worked it out, I’ve done a hybrid technique that works just fine for me and my limited storage space.

I always fold or hang my clothes, linens, towels, etc. I already dress in a style I’ve dubbed “frumpy chic” - if my clothes were wrinkled I’d just be frumpy. I also like to look so fresh and so clean, clean.

Don't you assume my gender.

But let's be real, you should see how many shoes I have. Many women would be jealous. I've got these sweet Allen Edmonds sharkskin monk straps that pair quite well with other pieces of my ensemble.

I've got a sock folding technique that is similar to the military. Except I tuck the outside of the sock inside the folds, rather than pulling the whole thing over.

Nothing pisses me off more than having one sock without the other in the pair. Sometimes my dryer seems to swallow them. Other times they just fall off the face of the earth.

The Sock Fairy is a real bitch I tell you, I think I somehow have more unpaired socks than I do legit pairs anymore.
