Are you f-in’ kidding me? Have they never heard of “hospital corners”? In the Army, you had to learn how to make your bed and there were no fitted sheets. You had to learn how to fit them yourself.
I guess the point is that putting on a fitted sheet causes less repetitive hand injuries than fitting a flat sheet.
I call BS. I have horrid wrists. Every post I type on FR I have to type at least 4 times to get right because of hand injuries. And I actually hire someone to come in and put on fitted sheets for me.
What’s a hospital corner? Anything to do with coroners? LOL!
Nurses had to square the corners also.
I remember those hospital corners in the army. I also remember working as a maid to get through the summer quarter at college. In basic training the mattresses were skinny, flimsy and light weight - easy to lift and quickly shove the unfitted sheet under it and tightly around the corners. Now imagine doing that in thirty rooms a day, each having two Monster-sized (extra king size), thick, downy-topped very heavy mattresses with four corners each to lift. It’s not the wrists... It’s lifting those darn 240 bed corners every day!! But anyway, which cheap-skate CA hotels are they that AREN’T putting the more sanitary fitted sheets on their beds these days. I’m not staying there.
