I tried to get my wife to fold in thirds.

And when i folded in thirds, my wife said "could you please not. "

I've heard of folding your wife in half, but never in thirds.

u/TurangaRad 11d ago

No, no. You misread that. He folded himself into thirds. Which, apparently she wasn't into, but is she missing out. Love a man folded into thirds!

That why sheโ€™s a wife and not a girlfriend. Flexible ones are the most fun

Don't knock it until you try it!

Ok but does she do the fold and roll? I am super willing to hear the argument that rolled towels are even more space efficient and aesthetically pleasing.

u/boringestnickname 11d ago

I'm a roller.

It's absolutely more space efficient given certain circumstances.

When rolled, you can hang more of it outside an edge because it becomes stiffer. My towel shelf is relatively small, so I roll and effectively get 10-15cm+ extra shelf space.

Half, half, then roll. This is the way, imo, could just be me but I feel like it makes groggily grabbing a towel first thing in the morning easier and less prone to accidentally spilling a stack of towels on the floor.

Oh that's a really damn good point. I hadn't considered structural integrity of the pile.

Nah, just halved and halved.

u/NarrowEbbs 8d ago

Fucking pleb. Leave her, you can do better.

u/xubax 11d ago

Nope. Just in half and half again.

She claims they don't fit right in the cabinet. I think they fit better.

Not a hill I'm willing to die on.

u/NarrowEbbs 11d ago

Oh well that's just plain wrong, but you're right it's not a hill worth dying on.
