I don't get the fitted sheets hate meme. You stretch it over a corner and move around. I used to get fucked up by my dad for fucking up non-fitted sheets on my bed.
The quality of the fitted sheet and the bulk of the mattress make a difference. No, don't tell me they are standardized to precision because they aren't. I've made beds at strangers houses many times and it's as different as it gets. Those few millimetres difference mean you can or cannot pull the sheet correctly over the last corner. Some beds take me 5 minutes to make, on the other hand difficult beds can take me over half an hour to make (all linen and covers etc).
The hardness of the mattress also plays a role here, softer mattresses are easier. Smaller mattresses are easier to lift and manipulate, too. Cheap linen and/or cotton linen regularly washed with hot water shrinks, making the fit more difficult. Also the closer to a square your mattress gets in length x width the easier it gets to accidentally pick the wrong corner on the fitted sheet. Finally, physical strength makes a difference, the stronger you are the easier it is to pull the fitted sheet if it's tight.
So basically you could say if you are an average man of average man strength fitting an average-to-good quality fitted sheet on a single mattress, you will never experience any issues with this task.
Now if you are an average woman of average woman's strength fitting a low-quality fitted sheet on a king sized mattress you will struggle. You will break a sweat. Guaranteed.
I guess it's a new women stereotype to add to the list
My brother/sister in christ this is way too many fucks in a sentence about your dad
True, but also Skullgrid has a point.

Agreed.
They just work.
I guess the people that have issues are doing circus level gymnastics on their bed.
