Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

I agree. We've had sheets that supposedly fit a queen size, but are infuriatingly "just shy" of fitting without bending up the freaking corners of the mattress and forcing them over -- only for another corner to pop off. I recently threw a set in the trash out of rage... maybe they shrunk slightly in washing, I dunno but there should be some extra size to compensate for this. I don't need to bounce a damn coin off of my bed.

gotta check your mattress depth. they make standard, deep and extra deep pockets. it's important

basically now tall is your mattress? queen means nothing to the depth. I've had a pillow top and it was about 8-9 inches tall. my current is a 100% memory foam and it's only 5 inch deep. the memory form fitted sheet, will never fit on the pillow top. the reverse, the sheet slides around.

That makes total sense! Duh. Had not considered that.

Neat, thanks. I have thought someone must have invented something like this; I might try them.
