The Infernal Fitted Sheet

Friends, confidants, fellow sufferers, gather ‘round. Have you too known the special torture, the exquisite agony, that is the fitted bed sheet? This isn’t just some gossamer rectangle of linen, no sir. This, my friends, is a malevolent djinn disguised as bedding, its sole purpose to torment you with its elasticized corners and its refusal to be tamed.

You, innocent soul, pull it fresh from the dryer, a cloud of warmth and cotton. You think, “Ah, this time will be different. This time, I shall conquer.” Oh, the naivete! The first fold seems promising enough. You’ve managed to align two of the corners, tucking one neatly inside the other like a pair of freshly laundered socks. You puff out your chest, already envisioning your perfectly organized linen closet.

But then, dear reader, it begins. The third corner dangles mockingly, a floppy-eared hound refusing to heed your command. You try tucking it in, but it pops out like a stubborn cork. You try folding it under, but the result is less “crisp crease” and more “crumpled napkin.” Sweat beads on your brow; your calm facade crumbles. The sheet, you realize with a dawning horror, is winning.

You turn to the internet, that supposed font of all knowledge. “Hold it lengthwise,” the well-meaning articles chirp. “Fold the sides in,” they suggest, as if this is some simple origami project and not a wrestling match with a sentient tablecloth. You wrestle the sheet onto a flat surface, your dining room table groaning under the strain. You attempt the mythical “hospital corners,” a technique so precise it would make a brain surgeon weep.

And yet, despite your valiant efforts, the result is always the same: a lumpy, misshapen blob that would make a five-year-old with a pile of Play-Doh hang its head in shame. The fitted sheet, you see, is not meant to be folded. It is a testament to the futility of human endeavor, a constant reminder that some battles are just not worth fighting.

So the next time you find yourself face-to-face with this domestic demon, do yourself a favor. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and stuff that fitted sheet into your linen closet with a hearty, “Good riddance!” Your sanity, I assure you, will thank you for it.
