Q: Is the pattern on sheets suppose to face up or down?

A: Patterns should face up.

Patterns are pre-printed on the sheet before you buy them. They tend to be symmetrical and of a uniform width.

The lines on your sheets are neither symmetrical or of uniform width.

That is because they are stains.

Remember when this relationship began and I promised you that even though I was married and we worked together that things between us would never be awkward?

I was wrong. It just got really awkward.
