Do you iron your shirts?

Well do ya punk?

brummytom · 10-07-2009 3:43pm

No, my mom does.

Smart Bug · 10-07-2009 3:44pm

Yes I do, and I f*ckin hate. I f*ckin hate doing it with a passion.

As an interesting aside, I did iron in the nip once (to save time when I was in a rush to go out) and I nearly flattened my hosepipe. I have learned from this incident and wear at least a pair of pantaloons when ironing.

Not anymore. Somebody else presses etc them for me now.

By god if the world wasn't so judgemental i would be walking around in creased shirts all the time. But the way that it is I am f***** paranoid about creased shirt now so I have to iron it.

EDIT: Oh and I fckin hate doing it too. You Iron one side and then you iron the other side but when you iron the other side you crease the first side again - :headwall:

I iron pillowcases*

Cookie_Monster · 10-07-2009 3:52pm

Yeah, do my own but 4 shirts take less than 20 mins so it's not too bad. I hate it though.

Do you iron your socks?

I have to because of work. I blame the inventor of the iron. Before he came along it was perfectly acceptable to wear a wrinkled shirt.

I bring all my washing down to my sisters house for her to do, my poor old mother can't do my washing anymore since she left for Spain but I send her over some washing for Christmas and her birthday.

mickos · 10-07-2009 4:03pm

Yeh I iron my shirts. Don't iron anything else though and seldom wear shirts. I hate ironing:mad:

netwhizkid · 10-07-2009 4:06pm

My aunt irons everything including bed linen! I just grab the clothes from the line or dryer and unceremoniously dump them into the hotpress or drawer. I only iron for going out, special occasions and whenever I wear a shirt to work.

markok84 · 10-07-2009 4:18pm

just wear a jumper over the shirt for about an hour, when you take the jumper off, hey-presto freshly ironed (looking) shirt

Some great practical household advice from Marko Stewart.

admiralofthefleet · 10-07-2009 4:22pm

not usually, i let my body heat do it but if its really creased i might run the iron over it

Smart Bug · 10-07-2009 4:26pm

My opinion on this matter has been qualified by those lazy non-ironing individuals posting on this thread.

While I am diligently ironing every last stubborn crease from my fleet of linen shirts the thought of how dapper I shall look whilst donning them, in comparison to you scruffy creased rapscallions, will comfort me throughout my labours.

Mossy Monk · 10-07-2009 4:28pm

Ironing shirts is something I am not very good at. I like to leave my body heat sort it out.

wudangclan · 10-07-2009 4:30pm

i just wear them straight out of the dryer.
the creases usually come out after a couple of days.

The creased, just got up out of bed, is that vomit look is so in right now.

Pfft, philistine, I just tell people that it's a "french shirt", people never question that.

'Mom' is a brummy word... it ****in irritates me when people think it's American;; we took it over there, not the other way around

'Mum' 's for northerners

It was a reference to Martha Stewart. A bad attempt at a joke. I am quite hungover today and it was the best I could manage. I proffer my shapely buttocks for a sound paddling in recompense.

I buy wrinkle-free shirts and hang them up wet from the washing. Sorted, wicked innit?

My shirts never stay on long enough for people to see the wrinkles

That has to be untrue, who'd want to talk like a brummy? :pac:

Mark's & Spensors shirts ftw!

They advertise that there is no need to iron them and it's largely true

You look like a knacker in them though. Plus, I can see your nipples.
