The Art of Laundry Folding

A post which should technically be titled "The Annoyances of Laundry Folding". But that didn't sound quite as catchy :)

-when the seams are crooked so that the shirt folds funky instead of perfectly symmetrical

-when you are using the top of the washer to stack the neatly folded clothes and you keep having to grab the stack to keep it from sliding to the floor b/c the washer is slightly out of balance

-when the shirt or pajama top has a gigantic applique and you can't fold the shirt in half like all the other shirts are folded

-when you pull out a skirt that has a lining and you can't figure out which part to flip which direction to get it right-side out

-when you go to pains to turn a shirt inside-out only to find out that you've now flipped it outside-in

Did I miss any?

You had on you list, the two that annoy me the most:
Seams that are crooked, causing the item to fold "funky"
and
Appliques that make it impossible to fold like the rest of the items; I have this problem with hand towels in the bathroom!!!

You forgot washing clothes that have pockets full of pebbles...or maybe you don't have that problem at your house! :)
