Making your bed

what the fuck is the point? honestly, i cleaned my sheets yesterday, and as im putting them on, i look and feel liek a dumbass due to the fact that the patterns dont go on the bed like they are supposed to. Who the fuck makes the patterns go sideways on the bed so people get confused on how to put the sheet on your bed? if you dont understand what im saying, heres an example: now, say you buy a sheet that has numbers or something staggered as the pattern, and the sheet looks like it was meant to be put on the bed to so you can read the numbers if youre standing at the foot of the bed, well, it doesnt turn out that way, they actually turn out horizontally, so you can read the numbers or letters from the side of the bed...who the fuck is that retarded to make that product? i wouldnt consider myself a dumbass because i bought it, and thats becasue on the fucking picture of the box, it shows the demo. sheets as "perfect"...i have the right sheet size, right bed size, what the fuck...and whats the point of even making your bed?even if youre like a rabbit and go on a nightly romp?i mean honestly...its going to get fucked up anyways....god! i hate making beds...just give me a few fucking blankets and some pillows, put the mattress on the floor, and im good to go...

 

Agreed. I never make my bed. But luckilly I don't have any wacky patterns to throw/piss me off.

 

I have not made my bed in years... had an on-going argument with my mama when I was still living with my parents about it... I eventually won the argument... and have never made my bed since... I have honestly never seen the point. I also do not see the point in cleaning up my room as long as it's just a mess and not food or something that can smell after a while... the whole concept of "order" is very skewed.

 

Let chaos be your watchword...

 

Yes, and some people just work better in a messy environment. There's something to be said for having everything out and at your fingertips as opposed to put away out of reach.

 

it pisses me off, because i kind of move and wake up during the night, so the covers and what not just get thrown all over the place anyways, and then it took me like 15-20 minutes just to get the patterns right and everything to fit...pisses me off

 

I can tell.

 

My husband and I have a rule, whoever gets out of bed last makes it. Usually I'm out of the bed first, so I don't have to worry about making it. Works well for me.

But the days when he's out before me (rare, but it happens) I really hate making the bed, especially when the sheets/covers are strewn all catty wompus. But I just can't not make it. I'd hate to get into a messy bed at night. Nope, not happening.

Then again, I'm a neat freak, so who knows?

 

i was fine with 7 pillows, and a thin blanket and a comforter..i think i made my bed 3 times last year...even after washin sheets..i would put the first layer on and that was it...then throw the comforter on and the thin blanket...i mean honestly..what is the point? we should all just have our own little sacks or something like in the old days, where if a guy was spending the night at a girls house, they could sleep in the same bed, but hed have to be in a swoddling bag..i think thats what they called it...sucks casue theres no time for play, but thats where the scissors come in handy..but yeah..that was a bad idea overall...maybe jsut a giant sleeping bag...

 

The only thing I fuss about is having the sheets tucked at the bottom. That way my feet don't get cold when I yank the top part of the sheet over my head while I'm sleeping.

I like the sleeping bag idea. Then I wouldn't have to worry about it at all.

 

Argh, no! I despise having the sheets tucked in at the bottom... or anywhere. It's like sleeping in a cotton prison.

 

Words to live by.

 

chaos...oh yes! i dont like the thought of a cotton prison, so i dont tuck the bottom in..i hate waking up in the middle of the night, not satisfied with my the amount of blanket covering me, and feeling like im strapped down due to tuckage on my bed, so i dont tuck, that way when i wake up in the middle of the night, i can cover myself or lessen the coverage....

 

I don't make my bed, but if I am at a hotel or someone elses house I always make the bed because I don't want anyone to know I don't normally.

 

you know that comfortable ass blanket that they have at hotels? i heard they dont wash those, and i love them...so my ex says to me one day after im snuggling in it, " hey you knows people have sex and get their juices on that, and the cleaning service washes that like once a month?" i responded with.."so?" lol....im sure bodily juices will wash off with a 10 minute shower..but then again...OH NO!!! STDS!!!lol..

 

hehe, she said catty wompus
I make mine every so often for no apparent reason, and on the rare occasion I have visitors.
However for 7 years I lived in the barracks, so I had to make it everyday.

 

I love that word catty wompus. I love it so much I've dedicated my life to it. I agree with Rubin that there is never a need to make the bed. It's like mowing the grass. What's the use? It's just gonna keep growing anyway. Besides it's much more enjoyable to slide into lose sheets than ones tightly tucked in.

 

yea...you could jump into an unmade bed, and feel comfortable right away, but if its all clean and tucked, you have to find that comfortable position again..I RIVAL AGAINST BED MAKING AND TUCKAGE OF SHEETS!!

 

I only have that problem when I tuck the corners or the sides. If I just do straight across the bottom then it usually tends not to trap me.

 

meh, never made sense to me to make a bed when youre just gionna mess it up within 24 hours again anyway. i do make it when iwas my sheets or clean my room, but its imperfect.... but for when i clean my room, it does look better even if it serves no purpose other htan aesthetics
