RMT school gave me this one*:
If my sheets and towels are folded WRONG I will refold them. Even at home.
At school, when you are doing clinic duty, if you are on Hydrotherapy duty you also are on Laundry Duty. Which means you wash literally hundreds of sheets/towels and you are taught the PROPER way to fold sheets and towels so that they all sit aligned, curved, and stackable, and viewable and without being messy. You can count them easy, take them without making a mess, and people see only neat, clean, even piles with NO FOLDS SHOWING.
So, if you fuck up, you are made to do the whooooooole shelves aaaaallll over again. All of them.
And if you are naughty, don't wear they right uniform trousers, are late for shift, or bugger about or whatever, you are put on laundry duty.
I didn't give a flying FUCK about folding sheets as laundry is my nemesis.
Guess who was made to refold hundreds of sheets at the age of 45 until I cared?
now I'm neurotic about it. Thanks, Rick.
edit to add further admission: also, at work, if I'm the one sorting sheets onto the shelves, I also make sure they are in stacks according to fabric. All are white and cotton. But they are bought at different times from different companies so the thickness and thread count can vary. It bugs me if the piles are mixed.
I'm the only one at work who does this
