from, 'Secrets of the Royal Servants' [channel 5]- how do you like your undies folded?

Marianne72

I was going to respond to the 'what are you currently watching' thread, but there's a bit of weekend fun here. 'Secrets of the Royal Servants' [channel 5] is not on playback but should be soon. This docu was tamer than I hoped, but two facts about King Charles were revealed: how he likes his Valet to fold his socks and underpants. 

I like to fold my knickers in half [gusset up toward waistband], then left to centre line, then right to centre line, leaving a square shape. Socks are flattened [if recalcitrant, a rubber hammer helps!] then folded in half, toe to ankle. Does your spouse do this small task or do you? How do you like yours folded, if at all? If you could afford it, would you employ someone to fold your underwear?

  • My mother-in-law used to iron everything, including pants and socks, bit any hope I was into (from my husband) that was soon dashed. 

    But I fold pants like you, and boxers were just in half, until recently my husband got a new multi pack of 20, and the best way to fit them in the drawer is a tri fold. 

    Socks I used to fold the top of one over the other, but I did then take up my husband's way for socks, as it looks more compact, fold one completely over the other. Like a little sock package.  We often fold clothes while watching a light programme at night, a bit of a relax while still getting a job done, though he'll often do it on his own if I'm tired and had to go to bed early. 

    I wouldn't hire anyone to do it, when I was in first year of uni, and there was a cleaner coming on a certain day, I would clean the flat the night before as I couldn't bear the embarrassment that the cleaner would come in to a dirty flat.
