Years ago on television Martha Stewart demonstrated several times how to fold a fitted sheet. It was a huge rage for a while. Later she was found to be guilty of lying about insider information. A few days after Stewart was convicted and then a show like Art Linkletter's 'Kids Say The Darnedest Things' had a little three year old girl on. The host asked her what did you learn from Martha Stewart? The whole world expected her to say something about folding a fitted sheet, instead she said, "Mrs. Stewart taught me that honesty is the best policy."
Back to the question at hand, in our house we do it like dirtfarmer. It's on the bed or in the washer but never folded.

Please post instructions (for those of us that clearly have been poorly educated) 
Fold in half lengthwise, tuck fitted ends into the matching fitted end. You now have a flat rectangular surface and you can then easily fold it together.
🤞

Roll up and stuff into a pillowcase.
An excellent idea - will become my new SOP.

I am female and never try to fold them ........ just roll it up into a sausage shape. Life is TOO short to even consider folding.

Of course I can -- just not well!!!

Well since we have both King and Queen-sized beds When I "Fold" (neatly roll them up) the sheets I carefully place them inside their pillowcase with the other three pillowcases.
This keeps the "Neatly Folded" sheets and pillowcases out of sight. This also helps to keep the King & Queen sets identified (solids/stripes) and separated.
My short answer is No, all I can do is camouflage my lack of folding skills, grin. So. . .

It's easy. Lay it on bed, bottom side up; spread out wrinkles; fold over one side to the middle; same on other side then fold to storage size.

I can, but why waste the extra time it takes?
