PSA: I found a faster way to fold fitted sheets at a Laundromat in Phoenix

I was at a Laundromat in Phoenix last week and watched this older lady fold a fitted sheet in like 15 seconds. She just tucked the corners into each other and laid it flat, no wrestling. Tried it myself with my pile at home and it actually works, saved me a good 5 minutes per load. Anyone else got a weird laundry trick that just clicks?

Gotta disagree, folding a fitted sheet perfectly is a myth. I just ball mine up and shove it in the closet, works fine.

Gotta call you out for speaking the truth @spencer_park26. I spent 20 minutes once trying to fold one right and ended up with a twisted knot that looked like a wrestling move gone wrong. Now I just stuff it in the back of the linen closet and hope nobody looks. It works fine until my wife opens the door and gives me that look.

Have you ever tried to actually learn the trick though? I watched a 90 second YouTube video once and it changed my life, not gonna lie. There's a specific way you fold the corners in on themselves (like nesting dolls or something) and it comes out looking pretty crisp. Balling it up is totally valid too, but then you end up with that lumpy pile in the closet that falls over every time you grab a towel.
