Bill would require fitted sheets at hotels to protect housekeepers
LA Times ^ | August 14, 2011 | Patrick McGreevy,

Posted on 09/23/2011 11:26:39 AM PDT by bobsunshine

Business owners and others who have long complained that companies are overburdened by state regulations say a proposal now moving through the Legislature shows that lawmakers have lost all touch with reality: It would require that hotels use fitted sheets

Sounds as if this Legislature is unsafe and a threat to the general well being of the public. They should outlaw themselves. Their economy is collapsing-—and this is the priority?

Hmm. We have fitted sheets at home and you still have to lift at least one corner to get the sheet to fit correctly. But I’ve never had to lift a mattress to put on a flat sheet.

This legislation doesn’t sound right.

Time for a Seinfeld ping?

*********************

George: Lupe. That’s very nice, very nice. Listen, are you going to be making up the bed in the morning?

Lupe: Yes.

George: Fine. Excellent. Could you do me a favor? Could you not tuck the blankets in? ‘Cause I can’t sleep all tucked in.

Lupe: Oh, yes, yes.

George: Yes, I like to just be able to take the blankets and swish them and swirl them, you know what I mean? You know, I don’t like being all tucked in. I like to have a lot of room, you know I like to have my toes pointed up in the air. Just like to scrunch up the blankets.

Lupe: Yes, yes. It’s too tight to sleep.

George: Exactly, you know what I’m talking about, right?

Lupe: It’s too tight. (Gesturing towards Jerry) Him too?

George: Uh, Jerry, you want your blankets tucked in?

Jerry: Excuse me, what?

George: You want your blankets tucked in?

Jerry: What blankets?

George: When Lupe makes up the beds in the morning.

Jerry: I don’t know, whatever they do.

Lupe: I tuck in? Yes?

Jerry: Tuck in, tuck in.

George: Alright, so that’s one tuck and one no-tuck.

Lupe: Okay.

George: Yeah. One second sweetheart. Jerry, I really think it’d be easier if you didn’t tuck.

Jerry: Excuse me, fine, you don’t want me to tuck, put me down for a no-tuck.

George (to Lupe): Two no-tucks.

Jerry: Uh, hang on a second, You know what? Changed my mind, make it a tuck.

George: You just said you weren’t tucking.

Jerry: I’m tucking! Hello? Hello? They hung up on me. They don’t know where Kramer is anyway.

George: Alrighty, so. That’s one tuck and one no-tuck. Got that?

I can see the lawsuit.....Hotel owners and sheet manufacturers failed to warn us that a non-fitted sheet is a potential choking hazard.

Or something like that.

I would think they had strong arms and backs from swimming the Rio Grande. Maybe they should bone up on their English and take advantage of the free education we so generously bestow on illegals and work smarter, not harder.

It’ll originate in California, then Minnesota will try to copy it.with enhanced penalties for use of imported cotton.

The point of not using a fitted bottom sheet is that both sheets are the same. Having to segrate fitted from non-fitted sheets at the laundry, and the difficulty of effectively folding fitted sheets for compact storage, will mean added costs to guests.

I wonder if this Bill will also apply to the military?

A few years ago, they tried to tell us that taxpayer-funded muslim footbaths in public restrooms were for “safety.”

I made a LOT of beds one summer working as a housekeeper at a big YMCA camp outside of Estes Park, CO. The bottom sheet was put on exactly as you might put on the top sheet except you lined up the top of the sheet with the bottom edge of the mattress instead of the top, and tucked the sheet under the top of the mattress instead of the bottom, if you understand what I mean. Two people making up a bed could have it finished in no time, as the laundry also folded the sheets to optimize opening them. I guess most maids don't work in teams like we did. Fitted sheets will cause a problem in the laundry, as they take too long to fold and take up too much room. Just my opinion.
Is Big Elastic trying to make more money here?;-)

The point of all this regulation is to make all of us a criminal of one sort or another. Easier to control businesses and individuals. Plus, just think of the opportunities for bribery and other corruption for the bureaucrats.
