Reply to LPT: don't assume dishonesty or malice. You and others' lives will be much happier. by Alcoraiden
I disagree a bit.
If someone cuts you off in traffic (or similar), then I agree: that probably they are not dishonest or malicious.
If someone tries to, say, fleece you for money; that is most likely dishonest/malicious intent.
What folks need to do is learn how discriminate between those scenarios.

So...
These spiral structures are kinda like the cardboard core of a roll of paper towels?
Or am I misunderstanding?

Geeze folks, face it: a linen closet is just a rigid stuff-sack.

Ahem!
Maybe you misunderstand?
I wasn't talking about you ironing YOUR sheets. I was talking about you ironing MY sheets.
There's a crucial difference there.
If you do a nice job and I'm all warm and cozy when I put myself down to sleep in those freshly pressed sheets, then I'll give your a good review! (I have 3 followers on Facebook!)

Aha!
I always wondered why I had no resemblance to my mother's husband.
You wrote that you definitely met my mother...
Are you, perhaps, my father? My name out in the real world is "Luke". Might your name in the real world be "Anakin"?

Huh!
First: I wasn't talking about you.
But...
It seems you are taking this personally; so, may I rephrase?
"Someone, not named Jimmireman, may have -- sometime in the past -- been blessed with a passel of young children (maybe nephew and nieces) and, in a desperate attempt to establish just a little bit of order to their life, took to ironing their bed linens."
*This rephrasing is offered with gentle humor.

Can I borrow her?
Instead of pay I'll give her a nice review.

I don't care if it's a valuable LPT. Reading the comments make things worthwhile.

I suspect that someone, I won't say who, is living with a lot of young children and is desperate yearns for a little order in their life.
Best of luck to that someone!

INFO please: are you talking about the folds in your sheets & pillowcases or the foldy thingies in the grey matter of your brain?
Or both?

Moving out of the city to the burbs? If you don't already have one, you'll probably need a car.

I can confirm.
My neighbors once called 911 to have a "wellness check" performed on me. Did medical professionals show up? Of course not. Cops showed up.
The cops, citing "reasonable cause" or some such nonsense insisted on doing a search. They discovered that I had put the fitted sheet on my bed "wrong" and issued me a citation.

Edited to add:
I call my mom's sister "Attila the nun"
'cause , you know, you've got to get that palindrome "nun", in their.
(I once pointed that out to a priest that a nun is a palindrome; he was not amused. I'm still doing Hail Mary's.)
He said:
"That's my sister you're talking about!"

"To be fair, it is LOVELY getting into a crisp freshly ironed bed 🤤
Not enough that I'd iron my sheets mind you"
....said someone who secretly irons their sheets. It's OK to admit it. Heck, I might invite you over to iron my sheets before I take a snooze.

By golly: You raise a good point -- the doubling down on heroic virtue thingy.
Even as I write this I am negotiating for the charter of a helicopter with downward facing speakers with a Wagner soundtrack (and of course a PR firm with a photographer.)
I wish we had this discussion about a week ago: I could have swooped down from the sky and provided aid and comfort to all those folks stranded by Southwest Airlines by tossing rolls of toilet tissue to those unfortunate souls!
A well-documented act like that is surely worthy of expedited sainthood.

What? Do you think this is funny?
I've been waiting for quite a while; in my time I've endured:
- 2 English monarchs
- A gaggle of popes
- Who knows how many English PM's (one of which could not afford/know how to use a comb)
And yet, here I am, waiting for sainthood, or at least to be beatified, for having survived Sr. Mary Penguin's viciously creased sheets and pillows (which did not do anything good for my red blood cell count or my hemoglobin values.)
I know that saints have to suffer adversity; but, you know, there is a limit to such things...

Thanks for the edit that, if I may summarize, says something like:
"People may be having a bad day; but that does not mean they are assholes, so give them some slack; maybe even extra slack. But, by golly: stay away from assholes!".
Did I get that about right?
Cheers!
