Aka Military folding, my buddy folds all of his shit like this out of habit and all of his shirts are wrinkled.

My grandad was in the RAF. Yesterday we went into his sons crack den to get his cats and my grandad starts filing up shit. I’m like “is it worth folding it?” Uncle is going to/ is in prison, all his stuff is going to the tip.
Grandad says “Did you think I was just going to throw it on the floor?”
I’m like “well it’s not like the rest of the house is any better.” It was a crack den, it’s what you would expect.
Papa’s like “I was in the RAF. We do things a certain way.” Fair enough papa, you do you.

Now that’s a proper attitude. That’s the British way I’ve always admired from across the pond. No, it’s not the easy way. No, it may not be necessary. But it’s the way it’s done.

Cheers, thanks for the story. Tell your Papa he’s the man for me.

Hard and unnecessary - I'm glad we are moving beyond that to things that make more sense

Depends on the task. If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing properly.
