I hate them and never use them. I refuse to be beaten by a fitted sheet ever again!

A friend on FB IM'd that to me, and of course I heard that for the next 8 or 10 hours.
@HippieChick58 and you just to share with the rest of us. LOL
@silverotter11 guilty as charged!
Ahaha, perfect. I only have two sets, so it’s one onto the bed, one into the laundry. I rarely iron anything, ever. I do own an iron, it’s up on a high shelf, allll alone.

Iron? A noun or a verb? I don't understand
I buy drip dry stuff. If it dries wrinkled, I make a note of the brand, throw the item away, and never again buy that bramd.
@Petter do you make mental notes? I do, then I lose them quite quickly. Today I made a note on paper of exactly what I wanted to buy. When I got to the store I had lost that piece of paper... though I did remember exactly what it was I was looking for.
@HippieChick58 I now have a cure - I installed a "notepad" application on my mobile phone. It's big enough not to lose, although I sometimes forget I have made a note until too late.
I blame my forgetfulness on my mind being tied up by loftier considerations!
@Petter I have a Notepad on my phone too. Now if I only remembered what all those notes were for.
Good one!
I fold them the way I fold them, & to hell with neat.
I NEVER iron sheets, never have, never will. They are comfortable without as far as I'm concerned.

I like pure cotton sheets which nearly always need to be ironed and I hate fitted sheets. I have got a few I bought in a sale and they are impossible to iron as well as to fold. They now stay at the bottom of the pile..

Iron? What is the ironing you speak of? I have pure cotton sheets, and I don't think they've even been in the same room as the iron.
@HippieChick58 But aren't they all crumpled and uncomfortable? Likewise pillowcases? Or am I a bit OCD?
@CeliaVL Or it may be that I just don't give a darn. I make the bed, smooth out the wrinkles and go on my merry way. I hate, hate, hate ironing, unless I'm sewing. I will press seams flat. I don't press anything else. Life is just too short.
@HippieChick58 I hate ironing too. I rarely even press seams when I am sewing - I wait until I am finished. I'm ashamed to say that for me it is partly appearances - I iron the bits that show - but I do like the feel of smooth sheets.
Sheets get folded? I thought they went from the drier right back onto the bed.
Learn all kinds of things around this place.

There will be time enough for counting when the laundry is done.

I have a cabin rental with 6 beds. I'm constantly folding sheets. Those fitted sheets? I just sort of wrap and fold. Not worth any extra time to do it the "right" way.
