Here's a handy how-to guide on folding hospital corners: https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Hospital-Corner

Personally, I feel that life's too short for this kind of obsessiveness, though in a hotel, hospital or barracks there is arguably some point to it.

It's just a little too restrictive, for me. First thing I do when I get into a hotel bed is kick my feet around a bit to loosen it up. I'm not really into foot- bondage.

What is worse, Erik, posting instructions on folding hospital corners or (presumably) reading the post and then posting the link in order to moan about the person who posted it in the first place?

What worries me is how you found it in the first place...
