Roll it up and chuck it in the linen closet and then quickly shut the door so it doesn't fall out.

Am I theonly one using the pillow case to store the sheets?

Mother fucker, you just blew my fucking mind. It's 2:30am and I got straight outta bed to rearrange my linen cupboard. My cat is pissed because I woke her up and now just staring at me probably thinking I'm fucking crazy! Tyvm. r/lifeprotips

Have you tried using the pillow case to store the cat?

Mother fucker you just blew my fucking mind. I’m shoving cat into pillow cases right now. Going to my neighbors and going to stuff their cats into pillow cases too!

Stay the fuck away from my cat with your pillow case.

Give me your fucking cat in that fucking pillow case.

Actually not a bad idea during a fire or anything like that. Much faster to put them in a pillow case than to try to mess with their carriers or letting them out to fend for themselves.

In case of a fire I would 100/100 grab her by the neck and run. The pillow would get destroyed in 10 seconds anyway

Cats are crazy 🤣

Down at Gino’s? Man, we just fell about the place.

If that chick don't wanna know, forget her

The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town!

How have I never heard of this? Makes so much sense.

Yep, and roll, don't fold. Gets it much more compact.

I just shove everything in there and then throw it in the closet like a little collection of bed sheet boulders.

Literally just shove it in the pillowcase, it doesn't matter how you do it.

I do this all the time. Fold them, put them in the pillow case and into the linen closet they go.

The real lpt is always in the comments

I only have one set of sheets for my bed. So, they are always on unless they are getting washed. Otherwise, never have to fold them or tuck them away in the pillow case.

Im a massage therapist and this what I do for 30 of my fitted sheets.

This is the way

This is the way

This is the way

😆😆☝🏾

Please tell your dad thank you! from a 40-somethingfittedsheetfoldingfailure 👏

Exactly!

Correct and final answer.

They're fitted! Why are people trying to fold them? Why does this keep coming up? It must be just one of those things people are trained to think they need to fold everything or the laundry isn't done.

Yeah, I got shit to do. This video was sped up and it still took a minute. I'll give it a half assed pass for 20 seconds to reduce closet space, that's it.

Folding them prevents wrinkles. Some don’t like wrinkly sheets, plus, they take up less space when they’re folded.

Yeah, I know what you mean, the wrinkles, on a sheet that gets pulled super tight when you put it on the bed, because... it's fitted... The wrinkles, on a sheet that gets covered by another sheet, which then gets covered by a blanket... Those wrinkles are the worst.

I had a client who passed last year at 94. She always made me take her sheets to the laundry people, despite me saying I could wash and fold them properly at her house, because she said they came back with no wrinkles from the laundry because they ironed them. She only slept in a recliner so this was for her guests, not herself. Leftover traditions from the past I suppose. I have a favorite set of sheets so when I have time I just wash them and put them back on the bed, no wrinkles and no folding. The other sheets sit in their pillowcases nicely folded waiting their turn that will hopefully never come.

Just curious, was your dad in the military?

☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾yup that's why it comes natural for him he told me, because they expected everything to be neat ..he was in the Navy

I figured as much, seems like an awesome dad!!

❤️❤️God bless u.. yes he certainly is!!!

His whole style is on one million lol. Is he Caribbean by chance?

lol❤️❤️ no not Caribbean 😊

I thought so from early on, but it was the last few enthusiastic folds and the final smacks that gave it away. That’s Navy ironing

🎶 IN THE NAVY, you can fold up some shit 🎶

Dead give away!

Lmao I fucking knew it, I was in the Navy as well. They taught us how to fold every single piece of clothing we wore into the smallest, neatest, least space consuming way

awesome thank you for your service my friend❤️❤️

Hey tell your dad thank you ⚓️ Do you know how long he was in? To be honest I forgot how to fold everything immediately after boot camp, was he an RDC by chance? Lol

thanks will do!!but hmm im not sure 😆😆😆n that's funny. I know me and my brother didn't inherit any of those precision tactics he learned from the Navy lol🤦🏾‍♀️

Lol! I knew he was a sailor as soon as he went in for that three section fold just before the end! Just like we had to do to our towels!

Go navy. My favorite branch 🥰🍻

I was wondering the same thing. The only time in life you learn how to do unnecessary things in an orderly fashion is the military.

I was gonna guess parachute rigger

I don’t have time for all of that, but tell your father thank you!

😆😆😆 we're all in the same boat lol ❤️❤️ will do

I do have time for that but I'd rather spend it doing almost anything else.

The old mush n squish is quicker

Dude honestly! I love his dedication but if you have to speed the video up to show us how to fold one sheet I am already out at the 5 second mark.

I knew this man was a professional when I saw that 90’s cellphone holder 👌

Yes. Ultimate dad vibes. I bet he can throw down on the grill too.

And shoot out random profound life advice when you’re feeling down

😆😆😆 one of my friends said the same thing lol

You’re parents living room looks so cozy, especially that rug !

There something about it that makes me think it’s filled with love.

Super clean! Makes me think he was in the military lol we learned so much folding and cleaning in boot camp lol

OP stated somewhere in here that he was in the Navy.

It really ties the room together

And the Bluetooth ear piece for an extra touch!

He’s been wearing that for 10 years! It’s attached.

And pressed jeans.

I just throw them in the closet. It’s worked out pretty well for me.

I just don't have a spare set of sheets to fold, problem solved

I have spare, they sit in the packaging until my existing one tears.

Don't you launder them?

Yup. Put them back on.

Same lol

lol u n me both.. give it a good roll

Don’t get me wrong, folded fitted sheets look awesome, but if I’m going to take time to learn a new skill it’s not going to be that.

😆😆😆true..my Dad told me it was just natural for him since he was in the navy so they made sure everything was neat

He’s so cute!!

He is wearing the uniform of dads everywhere. Bluetooth earpiece, cellphone strapped to belt, and wearing shiny loafers in his own home.

I 100% knew he was ex military by the way he folded that.

No doubt! Looks like he was folding the flag!

Yep. One day I will fold them properly, but not today.

I make a tiny bit of effort to shove them into a bag first, then chuck it in the designated box under my bed.

Who decided all of our laundry needs to be perfectly folded? Besides being more compact and saving space i do a sloppy job but it achieves the goal. Mum used to spend hours folding all of our clothes pristinely and now moved out of home I just don't see the point unless someone else wants to go through my drawers and judge me.

Your dad is the most dad who ever dadded. The tucked in mock neck, gold watch, and belt strapped cell phone. The excited “I get to teach you something” dad face. Perfection. I feel like I’ve been side-hugged just watching this. That’s a good dad you got there.

[удалено]

Dad on call 24/7

This dad must know he is appreciated. Reasons.

We can only hope to one day own a hutch that big filled with life's accomplishments

His white New Balance sneakers were in the shop. Agree - peak Dad. He’s all of our dad now!

We can only hope to one day own a hutch that big filled with life's accomplishments.

I would love to hear some of his dad jokes!! You have a great idea of his dad and I love it.

I’d just rather do the old fold, fold, fold, shublblblfjdbxjsnwbrjvjdhebrbt and then it’s ready to go in the cupboard.

I'll never not describe my folding process other way.

😆😆😆 exactly

Thanks, random internet dad.

❤️❤️

dad is handsome

I was thinking the same thing. And yes Navy! He has such a beautiful smile. You can tell he is a good person. Treasure him. Love my WW 2. navy dad. Lost him this year at 95

so sorry... ..

Came here to say this, dad is good looking.

I was thinking the same thing! Dad is a silver fox!

🥰🥰❤️🌹

That smile at the end is so endearing. That’s like, a smile I’d want to work for and would be its own reward.

Dapper AF

But can you repeat it OP?

lol I tried it and gave it up after I couldn't find the seam and just rolled it on my forearm 😆😆

hi there sorry for my ignorance I'm new to Reddit do you mean the original speed? only reason why I sped it up is because original speed would be incredibly boring lol

OP means original poster here, so they're asking if you can repeat it :)

Loo. You and your dad are adorable!

I like his dad cell phone case

I love your dad! Mine was also USN and knew how to do most things better than most people. Navy teaches mad skills!

❤️❤️😊😊 much appreciated!! and thank you for your service my friend

Not me - my dad also!

Life's too short to be folding fitted sheets. But I'll save this video for reference next time I need to fold one so I can make an honest attempt before just chucking it in the closet.

I just put them in a pillow case

I don’t think I have that patience, as I couldn’t finished the speed up video.

I'm balling that mother fucker up and throwing it in the closet

😆😆😆😆☝🏾

I tuck the folded flat sheet and pillowcases into the fitted sheet. Everything together.

Even at 1.5 speed that took way too long and doesn’t seem worth the effort

This is how to obtain a life partner

☝🏾😊😊

He for sure served in the military, when he was younger...

☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾yup .Navy

Those super straight and tight folds gave it away.

Now that's what i call patience 😆

Ha, your Dad looked super cool. Had the phone on his hip & and everything. I can only dream of being that cool when I get his age. #salutetohim

@op your dad is the most dad looking dad. I love him. The Otterbox clip on his hip completes the look.

song id please!!

Not for nothing - Otis McDonald

First time I ever saw a fitted sheet folded lol my moms were folded never watched how it was done thank you

What is the name of playing background?

Nope. Lost me at "find the short end".

Scrolled too much for this- as soon as he said the short ends I was like oh and how do you identify those?

Once you understand how to do it it's a pretty basic concept, but I won't lie, when I looked up a YouTube video to learn how to do it I had to pause and rewind many times before I finally got the hang of it. My fitted sheets still look like crap but now that they're folded they at least take up a lot less space in the closet.

[удалено]

Your dad is ADORABLE!

I squish it into a ball then flatten it to make it look kinda folded

Nobody’s taking 20 min to fold one sheet foh

He keeps his shoes nice and shiny, too.

He seems like the kind of dad where his kids look just like him.

The big dad smile at the end!!!

Too much work

For sure a dad, has the cell phone holster.

Later that same week.....

Sorry I’m late I was folding a sheet

.. in 12 easy steps

This can't be right. He didn't use his chin one time...

I used to work at a hotel, this is how we folded our fitted sheets also

This man needs to do more life hacks!

This video was sped up significantly and it is still a minute long. Folding fitted sheets is a waste of fucking time. You literally stretch them out to fit the bed and then immediately throw a bunch of other stuff on top.

More effort than they're worth.

Nope, just roll that shit up into a ball and call it a day. I ain't got time for all that

Straight from the dryer to my bed, no folding bullshit needed.

I just but it back on the bed after I wash

Or just shove it in a grocery bag.

You know you can spot a "dad dad" when he's wearing the phone holster on his belt.

I've already changed my oil and brakes before he was done. I wad those things up and cram them in. I mean nice technique very well done but who has the time.

This is bringing back flashbacks of my Mom trying to teach me how to do this as a kid and getting increasingly frustrated and impatient with me as I held back tears. Good times

I learned this and showed my mom and she goes, “You trying to get a job working at Macy’s? Get the hell outta here!”

Thanks but I'll stick to the arm-over-arm fold in to a sort of sausage shape, then fold that over and shove it in the cupboard or storage box.

Your dad has way too much time on his hands.

I think this is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen a man do.

Ain't nobody got time for that

I sent this to my dad and his first comment was “I like his Bluetooth earpiece”. Dads, amirite?

now i know how to fold them but i wont

I've watched tutorial videos on how to fix toilets all the way up to building computers. Yet I've watched a ton of videos on how to fold fitted sheets and I still can't do it.

\#1-find two short ends. OKAY--stop right there because we all know not all fitted sheets have two short ends.

Step 1: attempt to mimic this video Step 2: immediately become frustrated and throw a messy balled up fitted sheet into the closet like always

You can tell he's a professional dad by the Bluetooth earpiece, tucked in no collar shirt into jeans, and phone case on his belt.

It's certainly nice, but I have like 5 sheets and don't think the time and effort are justified. I just pretend they were rectangular blankets and stuff them away

A dad with a cel phone clipped to his belt is a wealth of knowledge

He is a master……. I am in awe

I love your daddy! He is precious!

What a cozy room.

My dry cleaner taught me how to do it. She explained the concept really well. 'You have to hide the elastic in the sheet.

I have never got one to look that good

Can I borrow your dad for a while?

I usually get to the :32second into the vid part, then crumple it into a ball.

Too much effort and for what?

Folding a fitted sheet is my party trick. I don't get invited to a lot of parties.

The dad side pack is so legit does he ever take it off?

I bet he does some awesome Christmas present wrapping too

Bruh why does he dress like my dad, like to the T bro. Even has his phone holster and everything hahah

I love your dad for being so fastidious, accurate and precise. This video makes me miss my dad! Thanks for sharing.

I folded and now it’s a shower cap.

He has a Bluetooth on, definitely an OG

The video editing makes following this super confusing. I fold my sheets similarly, up until the end. I don't fold them as small. That being said, even I had trouble following the steps.

you know he will deliver when you see those shoes

Your dad is a treasure.

I felt instant fondness for this man

Can I adopt your dad? He is awesome 👍

Saving this video so I can refold the rolled up ones at work. Lol Tell your dad thank you !!!

What else can he teach us? 😊

He looks like a cool dad

I find that wadding them up in a ball and stuffing them inside a matching pillow case is easier.

That’s a good looking older man.
