how to fold fitted sheets in 30secs =
perfect hard boiled = 5mins to boiling + 5mins boiling poit + 5mins of setting (stove off leave it there) = perfect eggs and crack the bottom round part.
i do not know how to use a peeler. i peel my skin too when i use it........ it's evil...

You sit on a throne of lies!!!!! Both you and my mother and that lady with the hidious sheet in the video. "Let me show you one more time..." NO, Mom. NO. It's impossible. you teach me every time you visit and I fail everytime.
It's like how she told me natural childbirth doesn't hurt...just wiggle your toes and you will forget the pain, I did it 4 time. LIES!
Maybe my mom is a witch...if so why am I a squib???
On hard boiled eggs:
Right from the pan, add some ice and let them chill for a tiny bit. They peel crazy good.
From the fridge? Sorry, you're screwed. ;(

it took me a month to practice.
How to open a bottle of champagne...I kid you not.
I know they have them in Asia and in the UK....I would assume you have them too. Check amazon!
It took me about 12 years to learn how to wash my curly hair...it was life changing!
Amen. The last time I folded one of my clothes was about a year ago. Washing baskets (that's the expression here lol) are my cupboards. I have a trick for ironing: place on bed (not made of course) and flatten out with hand until it looks no different and you've convinced yourself you've tried your best.
Burn me quickly with applewood...I fold the fitted, the flat and slip them with the extra pillow cases inside a pillowcase...all of the pieces are then stacked neaty in the linen closet ... But WTF, why did they invent plastic wrap and clear tape from the same crazy beaker !?! ...once I lose the end I can not find it again. I've tossed whole rolls in the trash in frustrationUpdate: Ohhhh yes these horrible things. I'm quite familiar with them.
Psst...microwave refrigerated egg for 14 seconds @1100 watts...egg peels right out
i forgot to add mop in here. i had 10 stitches across my palm because my hand slipped through its rod. i prefer scrubbing floors by hand now.

Such an INFP.
Oh I do that, too!!!! Yay!!!! I fold the flat sheet neatly, fold one pillowcase neatly, place those in the pillowcase, then fold the fitted sheet in an uneven mess, get frustrated, bunch it into a half-folded ball and stuff it into the pillowcase, then place the 'perfect looking' pillowcase on a shelf in a closet with the other sheet sets. Done! Perfection!
I don't fold my clothes. Anything designer or delicate goes on a hanger. Designer denim is folded because a few pairs of those are about the price of a new car. The rest is divided by kind, and thrown into drawers. On the outside - neat and tidy. On the inside - chaos!
I fold all my husband's clothes, then by the time I get to my own clothes, I'm like, "Meh."
Rolling and placing a sleeping bag back in it's case. No. Can't. Go away, sleeping bag. Go away!
Putting the garden hose back into a coil-shape after use. Pfft. As if.

Organizing shoes is easy. Keep them in their boxes. Write what they are, or take a photo and tape the photo to the front, and stack them.
Peeling an egg: Place the egg on the counter and gently roll it back and forth while applying a bit of pressure. The shell will crack and after that, it's easy to remove. (Why does a vegan know this? My dogs get eggs once a week.)

Talking about witches!!!!:
Every time I clean my house I think of my mother, the ESFJ. <3
Our house was spotless all. the. time. How did she do this?
I helped her clean once a week, and as a kid I thought that was all it took.
In my own house, I vacuum and swish around the hardwood floor mop-like thingy every other day. When I finish cleaning I bask in the glory, go outside, come back in, and 'poof' - it's a mess again.
My ex-coworker said she took black beauties in the 70's, and it gave her the energy to keep her house spotless. My mother did not take black beauties. Spells, the only explanation is spells.

My dad once did this with a broom. He saw it poking in on one side and said "oh darn" then flipped his hand over and noticed it coming out of the other side! He said "oh darn" and then went to the hospital. I think he was in shock haha.
