There are some skills that are just beyond the common man, and when a man can pull off one of these out-of-reach feats, crowds gather to celebrate their achievements. That's why stadiums fill for dances, music, and sports.
But all of those pale in comparison to the kryptonite of the male species: the folded fitted sheet.
So, when Dan Boerman showed up in New Zealand and announced that he would be folding a fitted sheet on the streets of Wellington, nearly 700 people showed up to see if he could do it.
Honestly, that's pretty much what it looks like when I fold the fitted sheets too.
Boerman's attempt was a marketing event to drum up interest in his upcoming show: Dan Boerman Folds A Fitted Sheet On His Own, which he explains like this:
There are too many shows already of dudes going up on stage, they've broken up, they're chatting about being on [dating apps] Hinge, Tinder, and all of that, so this is a refreshing take on the recently single millennial man story.
It's more of an acknowledgement of chicks and how we're useless without them.
That totally makes sense.
Unlike me, my wife can fold fitted sheets into tiny, neat squares, but she's secretly a magician. She can also make my keys and phone appear in the last place I left them, even though I've looked there 100 times already.
I don't know where I'd be without her, but I'm pretty sure wherever it was, I wouldn't have any identification or a way to call for help.
