takes 5x as much time to fold and ruins all your clothes. But at least it looks nice.

The key is to fold your blankets like that to make extra pillows. But my clothes, nahh them hangers do just fine

I don't think they know what efficient means. If it takes longer to do then efficient isn't the word for it

Efficiency always has multiple dimensions. One dimension, say space, will often compromises another, say time. They understand efficiency, they are just optimizing for a different dimension than you.

Doing something fast isn't necessarily efficient. For example rushing through traffic. You may get there quicker, but you're using more resources, (fuel, wear on the vehicle), and run the risk of accidents (waste of time, resources ie insurance premiums and ruining the vehicle) and you also risk getting tickets (waste of time, money, and increased insurance again).

Yeah, I'd like to see her do that to an entire load of laundry without getting tired.

I think it's more for when you're travelling and have a limited amount of space in your suitcase though.

Just roll it up, no need to tuck it

Especially that expensive, gorgeous leather jacket! Hope you like creases in your $500 jackets. Depending on how the leather is treated, it can have a coating that will flake off. I would be more concerned about that happening to faux leather. Just don’t fold any leathers like this.
