    I’ve made a bed a handful of times in my life. The one time I remember specifically was when I had my first girlfriend over to my house when I was 17.

    If you don’t want to make your bed, don’t do it. After 60 years of not making my bed, I’ve suffered zero ill effects.

      Yeah it’s something for regimental types. I read something about some military dude priding himself on it.

      I’m very chaotic (ADHD) so nope. I couldn’t function in a regimental environment anyway.

        My theory of military bed making is that originally they had to grab the sheets and go on a very short notice, so it makes sense to “pre-pack” them. However, it gradually evolved into a performative art.
