My favorite part of the modern society is our collective decision to stop ironing clothes.

@mayaisloading Wait, what that's a thing? I'm wasting 2 hours a week ironing (well, ironing / dancing / singing - all badly), and no one else is with me?

Guess I should stop looking for a new ironing board...

@munki. A while back I made a poll here asking if people still iron their clothes. The poll got fairly good number of people participating and the vast majority of answers were "no"

@mayaisloading @munki I can’t remember the last time I ironed something. I have an ironing pad that goes on top of the clothes dryer that I’ve never used.

My grandmother taught me how to iron every kind of thing. I would never iron my sheets! Maybe tablecloth? I still own some trousers that I would probably need to iron or steam before wearing.

I mostly stopped wearing things that look like they might need ironing. I also embraced the wrinkled look in a few cases.

@mayaisloading @munki I answered your poll! If I could have I would've said "I only iron the clothes that get unbearably wrinkly and I wish I'd known that about them before I bought them but they're mine now and I won't buy more."
