Local man Jeremy Philips has taken a major step to become the first man he knows in their 20s to buy a second set of bed sheets. This comes as Jeremy was walking through the shops and on a whim decided to pick up a second set of the exact same sheets he already has, which are the cheapest ones he can buy in his area. “This is a big step for mid-20s man-kind,” he said of the purchase, “this must have been what Neil Armstrong felt like.” [...]

    I have summer and winter sheets, but why would you need 2 of the same sheet? It doesn't take 24 hours to wash and dry bedsheets.

    I like having a spare because I can quickly change the sheet whenever, throw the dirty one into the laundry machine, and deal with it tomorrow. I don't have to start the wash/dry cycle in the morning, I can do it whenever I feel like it. It facilitates my laziness.

    Plus that person's forgetting you need to minus the time of one of the sleeps

    Meh. A washer dryer combo with a 60C express wash is a bit over an hour and if there's only a set of sheets and duvet covers in the dryer (and they're cotton not synthetic so you can run it on hot), the drying doesn't take much longer.

    So easily under 4 hours, I'd say.

    And there's even a 15 min express express wash. That and just the sheet and duvet cover in the dryer and you're looking at less than 2 hours I'd say.

    I'm not a wealthy person, but I am lazy, so I invested in tower combo when I moved here as I'd prolly never wash anything otherwise. Or I would, but then I couldn't be arsed to hang it to dry.

    When I take out the trash I put the new liner in before I leave the room. When I wash sheets I put the new set on before I leave the room. Motivation is a fickle and fleeting thing.

    Yes, but wanting to sleep on sheets is rather motivating

    This can have the other effect: instead of making you want to get the sheets ready quickly, you might just not do it at all 🫠

    Thankfully I'm not a heathen that's willing to sleep on a bare mattress. To me, that's almost as bad as wet socks or soggy food sticking to your hand while washing dishes

    I duuno, I've raw dogged the mattress out of laziness many times. Now my wife handles it all. (And before you call me sexist, I actually get in trouble for doing "women's work". Cultural thing, but she's come around a bit.)

    I've been meaning to buy a second set but keep forgetting.

    When in school I would use one set for a semester, throw them out, and buy a new set.
