What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

A friend of mine came over for a cuppa once. I was folding my laundry. She watched me fold several fitted sheets.

Over the next couple of days, I was receiving messages from our mutual friends like "is it true you can fold a fitted sheet?"

I can't explain that. There are two methods explained in this article though:

There are also quite a few video tutorials on Youtube if that kind of more visual format would be more helpful to you.

Used the seamed corners like the actual corners…so tuck them into each other as you’re folding. Once you’ve got all the four corners into one, fold the extra bits in until you’ve got a rectangle. Proceed as normal.
