Banning elbows not being allowed on the table and hats not being allowed indoors are also wins for me

I’m gonna be the Debbie downer and mention that no-iron clothes have synthetics in them, the washing of which is a major contributor to the microplastics problem.

Ironing seems like it'd be a really chill and relaxing activity, if we had time to engage in it.

...but then your clothes might look like you've worn them before.

What are you? Poor?

This achievement belongs to the tail end of GENX... The folks that brought us grunge.

Speak for yourself. Casual clothes killed most ironing but ain't nobody showing up in a wrinkled suit.

Definitely did not.

all ya'll admitting to ironing your clothes in the comments are a bunch of dweebs, just saying.

You might even say we ironed that problem out

I bought an ironing board and an iron when I moved into my current home thinking "yeah, I have some shirts, I'll iron them when I need them".

That was 3 years ago. The ironing board was put into a corner out of sight and the iron is still in its original packaging, unopened to this day. I'm trying to justify my purchase with "better to have it and not need it than the other way around".

Soon on Forbes or something:

"You'll be flattened to find out what industry millenials are killing next."

I iron like a mother fucker. Its so satisfying smoothing everything out.

Fuck you wrinkles

Me who still irons clothes

looks sideways

Ironic

I got into sewing so I do use an iron, but even then half the time I'm lazy and don't even press my seams. I'm not very good at sewing as a result, but I have a good time all the same.

Last time I ironed something was for a job interview

All my clothes have creases on them. I do not care unless it actually ruins the look. Only then do I use the iron.

I just run anything wrinkled through the dryer for about 10 minutes.

But I do like ironing. I do it so infrequently, I associate it with getting all fancied up to go out to a special event.

And everything about it is so relaxing... The sound of the water in the iron, the hiss of steam. That clean smell, rising with the hot steam. You're forced to slow down and pay attention, if you want to get it right.

Whether you're alone or sharing the moment with company, it's a recipe for encoding a core memory, deep in there, pinned in place by multiple senses.

I'm Gen-X and I hate to break it to you, we had permanent press well before we had Millennials.
