    Folding laundry is basically like fighting a dragon. These damn fitted sheets, man.

    But I gotta do what I gotta do. These dragons aren’t gonna fight themselves.

      Do adults really not know how to find fitted sheets? You fold it basically like a regular sheet, but tuck the corners inside each other.

        I prefer the “fold it haphazardly, stuff it in the drawer, and I don’t care if it’s wrinkled when it goes on the bed next time” method, myself.

        Whenever I tuck the corners into each other I end up with a lumpy irregular polygon which can’t be folded neatly like flat sheets

            “Pull up” like three dimensionally? I do the best I can to square the blob up but always end up with too much fabric on the fitted corner to get a clean neat fold.

            I’m the designated one who “knows how to fold fitted sheets” in our household btw 🤣

              Yes, three dimensionally. Pull it up, and make a fold from the sewn point of the fitted corner parallel to one folded edge, and then the other edge likewise parallel to the remaining side. Now that you have a nice rectangle, lay the bunched portion down as flat as you can, and continue folding. Ta-dah.

        Or you can do the parachute fold. And then fold it regular after it’s a tube

        I’ve learned how; can’t speak for everyone though. But they’re the ones that take the longest time due to the intricacy.

        I’m also very meticulous about folding laundry, so everything fits nice and tidy in the linen closet.

        I watched a video once and it was like 17 steps to do it so I couldn’t actually follow it. I did get the put the corners inside each other part though, and if you do that it gets you at least somewhat folded enough to stack with the rest of them.

        You can block them so you don’t have to see it.

        If what they’re doing is egregious, against community or instance rules, stalking, harassing, etc you can report them which notifies the mods of the community the post or comment is in, the admins of the instance of the community the post or comment is in, and the admins of the user’s instance.

        Edit: Found the context- https://lemmy.world/comment/23272922

        If you feel that he implied you were a pedophile, and he disagrees, then fucking report it to mods/admins and let them sort it. I’m not seeing anything but bog standard responses to some of your posts that you respond to with your little copy pasted message. I could understand if they kept making references to it, but I don’t see where it’s been brought up where you didn’t.

        Just report and block and move on with your life.
