I feel personally attacked
The alternative is to not change your bedsheets for 6-8 months
We used to suffer from this, but now have a cat-based monitoring system:
3 cats sleep on bed = perfectly clean
2 cats sleep on bed = clean enough
1 cat sleeps on bed = prepare to change sheets
0 cats sleep on bed = change bedsheets nowMine is:
Toby sleeps on bed = smells like piss, needs changing
I don’t know how to get him to clean himself. He’s so lazy!
Who is Toby? (I also want to be trapped with cute cate pictures)
Wo is Toby?
You fell right into my trap card! Meet Toby, our resident capybara.
Oh, no. I am such a fool!
Or am I? Maybe you are the one who fell into my trap 🤔
Toby looks like a hoot and a half
Alright now that guy in particular needs to be medicated.
The solution is to just have two sets of sheets.
Pull the old set off and throw it on the floor, put the new set on, then let the old set sit there for a few weeks while you keep stepping over the pile.
This.
Or marry someone who’s probably autistic, because I’ll get the sheets and make sure they’re washed and folded and put back into the closet and have a system that rotates them out on a regular schedule.
Let’s not try to portray developmental disorders as a superpower. My SO is autistic, and I (being ADHD) am solely responsible for ensuring shit like this gets done.
Never said they were a super power, just said I’m better at organizing than my spouse. I have my issues.
Nope. Autistic here. I’ve always kept two sets of bed linen (doesn’t everyone?) and after I’ve stripped the old one and shoved it in the laundry pile, the new sheets will often just sit on my chair for a few hours, while I get distracted with other things.
It’s not that hard people, instead of replying or downvoting this, go do it!
Having a partner living with you alleviates this somewhat. You say to them “are we sleeping on this bare mattress or should we tag team this bullshit?”
I initially misread “executive dysfunction” as “erectile dysfunction”, and I was quite perplexed for a minute
As somebody who has been sleeping on a bare mattress for the last two nights, I do not appreciate being called out like this.
Luckily for me I really hate sleeping on a bare mattress, so I can only go to bed after the new ones are on.
Similar, except the idea of ruining my perfectly good mattress by sleeping on it sans sheets is enough for me to put sheets on. I simply can’t imagine being like angh, fuck it, sleep on mattress.
I remember moving out of my family home with my mom and brother after my parents split, I was 19 or 20, spent the whole day carrying shit. Get to my room, it’s mattress, box spring, floor, and I’m exhausted. I still took the extremely lazy route of grabbing my sleeping bag and sleeping in it on my mattress.
And for anyone unaware here, a little PSA, putting your bare skin on your mattress is a great way to get a stinky, oily mattress that is uncleanable. It’s why mattress covers exist, ton insulate that nice mattress from your awful stink (myself included). Once it’s ruined, its ruined.
Same but I don’t mind sleeping on the couch soooooo…
What is this superpower you speak of?
Yeah I will just put off getting into bed for as long as possible which will result in me putting on new bedsheets at 5 am
I will sleep on the couch and tell myself I’ll put on new bedsheets the next day. Usually this results in sleeping on the couch for the next couple of days.
No, it’s a race against my cat, can I get it on before she gets the fuck in the way? lol
This is why I pretty much make the bed on top of mine. She doesn’t want to move at first but she either gets annoyed or turns it into a game so it’s a win-win even if it takes about 15 mins when it should be 5.
