who is "we"?

hahaahaha...........the skeletons are coming out of the closet. I'm guilty of refolding clothes after getting them back from the cleaners. it's probably ocd but it doesn't matter. I have to have all my clothes that are hung in the closet facing the same direction. I believe that it's more efficient when everything is organized. but then again it might just be ocd........

I'm not so concerned with clothes, but I'm crazy about towels.

I hang pretty much everything.

I admit it! I'm obsessed! Don't you look at me that way! Don't judge me! Gotta go fold now bye ;)

I am a refolder. Never worked in a clothing store, just happen to like things "just so."

But according to the article - I'm not bad enough to be OCD ;-)

Another refolder here. Also never worked in a clothing store. But it makes me crazy when things aren't folded properly.

I think I never fold clothing twice the same way....

the cutting boards from ikea are perfect for folding shirts !

I used to work in retail...sometimes I still "edge" the hanging displays or refold clothes. I can't stop!

"We admit to being an obsessive folder due to our five-year stint..."

If you're going to be grammatically correct when you use the horrific/deplorable "editorial we" voice, shouldn't that be "We admit to being [del. an] obsessive folders due to our five-year stints..."?

You might as well consistent, right?

I am the opposite of an obsessive folder :)

Ha, inertia, I do the same thing. I hate a messy store rack.

I worked in retail for several years, but it was always the towels that got me, not so much clothing. (I could spend hours refolding towels). Then I found a flip 'n' fold at a thrift store for $1.50 and I just love it!!! There's nothing like perfectly sized stacks of t-shirts on a closet shelf.

My boyfriend used to refolded the clothes that I already folded! Until I caught him. Now I don't do it anymore. :-)

PLEASE cut out the "editorial we". Please?

It has been driving us nuts and we're getting tired of it.

Oh, and I hang most of my clothes, with the exception of shorts and sweats. I really don't care if those are folded neatly since they're in the dresser.

i am guilty of being one of the people quoted in the article :)

Also, by the way, go on YouTube and search for "Japanese fold t-shirt." I don't know why, but folding my shirts this way makes me really happy.

Guilty!

I can't stand bath towels any other way but the Martha Stewart way. Fold it in third lengthwise, then twice in half.

My 2 brothers together own over 200 soccer jersey that they rarely worn. They are now nicely folded and sorted by colour sitting on top of the closet instead of cluttering the real clothes. Looks like a little Italian sports shop.

I wouldn't fold clothes that I didn't mess up at the stores. But I do fold them back after I pull them out to have a look. I also fold the blanket before I leave the plane.

Tidily folded clothes fit drawers and shelves better, are easier to see when getting dressed in the morning, and don't get as winkled.

What's wrong with folding?

Uh Uh, obsessive folder and color coordinate freak.
Guilty.

I began to pay more attention to my folding after working in my friend's laundromat/gallery (the only place in the country where you could've picked up your dry cleaning AND a first edition Toulouse-Letrec/lol). After being taught great folding techniques, it's kinda hard to go back when you see how easier it makes life.

For the most part I hang most of my clothes but ever since I could remember, I had to organize my closet first by wearing frequency, then by dress shirts (short sleeved first then long), casual shirts, dress pants, casual pants, skirts, dresses, jackets, coats.

The only thing I'm obsessive about is fitted sheets. Don't ask me why but I can fold them like a hot damn. Everything else, I suck. Never worked in retail...

Please share your method for neatly folding fitted sheets echo333! No matter how I try mine end up looking like dog's dinner. The Martha method requires a massive laundry table or counter surface, which i don't have...

With the goddamn "we" and the non functioning slide shows (not to mention the "here's a photo of the napkin holder in the restaurant where we ate dinner last night") it's just getting too painful to visit.

I HATE folding and I am TERRIBLE at it. I mean, really, really bad. My boyfriend is a Folding God, so he promises that if I marry him I will have neatly folded clothing til death do us part. In fact, he has agreed that laundry is his duty completely.

I try to "help" him with his laundry. He has to re-fold. I just can't do it. I want to try one of those foldy tool things.

Those of us WITH the painful disorder of OCD would appreciate it if people didn't joke and mention it casually like "Oh maybe I have that, haha." If you think that - you most likely don't have it. It's not a joke, it's not casual, and it's not a fun little quirk that people have (like the deplorable portrayal of the disorder on the show Monk - ugh.) It's a very real mental disorder and has NOTHING to do with being a little anal about folding something. It's mentioned on AT comments at least a few times a week and I'm sick of it.

I've been folding like this since I was 17 cause I worked at a hip hoppish clothing store. So I got stuck knowing how to do it but happy that I do!

I'm not an anal folder, nor am I able to fold especially well, so I'm feeling a bit left out. I guess it's not too late to get a job in a clothing store and learn how to fold.

Fitted sheets are not meant to be folded. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I'm really bad at folding, and i'm a bit over the top about order, so i just hang everything.... its just easier in the long run.

My mom on hte other hand, woudl fold and iron EVERYTHING, even down to socks and cleaning rags
