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

[–] [email protected] 90 points 4 months ago (18 children)

Elbows have always been allowed on the table. The rule for fancy dining was that you couldn't have elbows on the table during a course, i.e., when people are actively eating, but before/after, it's fine. That's a reasonable rule to be considerate of space.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 months ago

Never been an issue for me. The issue would be invading someone’s personal space. Maybe we just have bigger tables where I live.

I like the way we don't have to wear petticoats under our dresses anymore.

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.

All you gotta do it hang the shirts up, guys. That's it. Gravity is nature's iron.

Lol who said anything about specific garments? We just wear our clothes wrinkled and no one cares. My linen shirts looked wrecked for an hour or so and then the wrinkles fall out, for instance.

most my clothing is 100% cotton, and I have never ironed once I left my parent's home.

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

[–] [email protected] 58 points 4 months ago

It is, if you don't have to do it all the damn time. If you just iron your clothes when you want/need to, it's an enjoyable chore.

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

What are you? Poor?

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

[–] [email protected] 47 points 4 months ago (9 children)

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

Unless you're upper management or going to a wedding/funeral/formal event, why would you even wear a suit? In the last decade I've worn my suit 3 or 4 times in the last decade, and they were all weddings or funerals.

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".

Last time I ironed something was for a job interview

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's understandable they'd want to see your technique.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (5 children)

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.

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.

Just like that grandma looks like she is 25 again

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.
