Do you worry about the neatness of the fold?

Asked by canidmajor (21234points) May 26th, 2018

At least three times today, on Facebook, I have seen tutorials on how to fold a fitted sheet with pristine precision.

My question is, why bother?

If it’s roughly folded (not just balled up) it squishes nicely under the other sheet and pillowcases on the shelf of the linen closet, presenting a fairly neat appearance.

It really doesn’t occupy enough extra cubic inch-age to make dramatic inroads into available space.

Because it’s stretched onto the mattress when in use, de-wrinklage is pretty much absolute. (And you can’t see it anyway.)

So why fold it more precisely?

It’s a conundrum.
