TIL I was folding fitted sheets wrong for like 30 years

I finally watched a 2 minute tutorial after my mom's friend showed me her trick at a sleepover last weekend. Now my linen closet looks like a hotel display instead of a wrinkled ball pit. Has anyone else had that weird satisfaction moment with something so stupid?

My mom showed me some wild method where you tuck the elastic corners into each other like a little burrito, and I still almost threw it across the room... 27 years of balling them up and suddenly I'm supposed to do origami? No thanks. I actually side with @the_dylan on this one, my linen closet still has wrinkles and I'm fine with it. Honestly as long as the fitted sheet isn't strangling the pillowcases in a dark corner I call it a win.

Wait hold on. Is it really that serious? Like your linen closet actually looks like a hotel now? I've seen those tutorials before and honestly tried it once. Still ended up with a lumpy ball of fabric that vaguely resembles a sheet. Maybe I'm just bad at following directions. But I feel like people make too big a deal about folding fitted sheets. Who's really gonna pull open your closet and judge you? As long as it's clean and not tangled with the flat sheet I say it's fine. You do you though. Just not losing sleep over a wrinkle.
