Yesterday afternoon I spent almost three hours ironing (it took so long because it was a large pile of clothes and because I am a slow ironer). I have to tell you, I’m not a big fan of the ironing. I think it’s mostly a peer pressure thing. If nobody else ironed their clothes, then I wouldn’t have to iron mine. Why can’t we all just stop the nonsense and wear clothes with a few wrinkles? I really don’t think that would be the end of the world.
Even extreme ironing doesn’t do it for me (also see here and here). More exciting, perhaps, but still a waste of time in my book.
Brad,
I totally agree that there should be a ban on ironing! Wrinkled clothes should be totally acceptable!

You crack me up. Don’t you think ironing is FUN????????
I’ll tell you…working on a pile of it makes you thankful when someone else does it. I TOTALLY agree with your wrinkle idea. WRINKLE PEOPLE UNITE!
I love you! Mom

There’s always the little Dry Clean place across from work - they’re cheap, wash AND press your clothes! :) I guess it’s a matter of how much that 3 hours is worth.
