OK, this is weird
I'm doing laundry. I pull a pair of pants out of the dryer and they are already folded - nearly perfectly. What are the odds?

1. My dear yvr girl!
Nice to see you, stranger!

I'm guessing the odds are not with you on this one...

Do you have gremlins in your dryer?

:shrug:

:hug:

3. Not to my knowledge
But if I do, they also cleaned out the lint trap. I can't imagine my laundry didn't actually produce some.

BTW, :hi:

8. It's not like it folded the whole load
Just one pair of pants. If it started matching up socks I'd be impressed.

28. No, no... that's the mogwai.
The gremlins can eat all they want, when they want. But if you get one wet, they multiply.

So probably best it's in the dryer and not the washer, eh?

17. Even if our laundry is magically done in heaven
I must believe that it is at least in suite.

27. are the pants pleated or plain front?
it makes a difference in the odds.

I calculate the odds of nice plain front pants coming out of a fully loaded drying folded at 1:234,346,823,267.45 the odds that a nice pleated pair will come out fully folded are zero. there is no such thing as a nice pair of pleated pants.
