T-shirt folding is nice et al, but its final size is ok only for normal-sized shirts. With this method XL and larger t-shirts don't fold into neat small things.
My mom scolded me when I was young, telling me that I needed to know how to fold fitted sheets because women care about that sort of thing. This made me dread washing sheets.
Turns out that no woman I've dated has cared about whether fitted sheets are folded properly, nor have any of them known how to fold them. You know what they do care about? Cleanliness of sheets.
Bookmarked anyway. Maybe I'll ingrain the method before reaching my deathbed.
Bachelor hack: you don't need to know how to fold fitted sheets if you only have one set of sheets.

I'm married and only have one set, lol. Honestly I can't understand why you would have more anyways. I only have one bed, why have more sheets than I have beds!?
Remember that in Europe and the UK people don't have access to the type of dryers that Americans use that actually ... get clothes completely dry in a reasonable time period. In fact those sorts of vented dryers that make Americans think that dryers are supposed to actually get clothes dry are being made illegal in the EU:
So we hang clothes outside in good weather, and otherwise use heat-pump washer-dryers to get things partially dry, and then hang them around the house. So you will typically need to sleep while sheets are drying.
Because someone gifts them to you. Or because your SO likes to look at other sheets once in a while. Or because you have no dryer and the sheets do not dry fast enough in winter.
I fold my fitted sheets in half and then few more times, in my hands while standing. It doesn't look good, but the sheets are always stored out of sight, so I don't care.
But the article is great, especially the ghost joke.
Every time my wife and I fold our fitted sheets after a wash, after we've fumbled our way with folding it, I say "one day I'll lookup how to do this properly."
Imagine my elation upon seeing this on HN. The article captures the exact level of snark too.
