  • I do well to iron my clothes in fact, I try to buy clothes that will fluff in the dryer.

  • I know, right?!

    I think I ironed sheets once... I had just bought them for the guest room, washed them, but they still had creases in them! We were having guests over that night, so my anal-retentive ass ran a warm iron over them quickly.

    I'm a nutbag.

  • No, never. That sounds like maybe the biggest pain in the ass ever.
  • I used to do house-cleaning (read: clean up after their messy asses) for a family, and the lady wanted everything ironed, including the family jeans! Basically, unless it was socks and underwear, it got ironed. Biggest waste of time in the world, but I was getting paid by the hour, so I said nothing.

  • My ILs buy sheets that are really, really cottony... not sure what thread count, but I swear, whatever they use on them doesn't work because they are incredibly wrinkly. So she does iron them. Maybe higher thread count makes it necessary.

    Personally I just get 400 thread count on sale and those are just fine out of the dryer. Then DH balls them up in his sleep and creates a weird little ridge of wrinkled sheet under him every night. I have no idea how he does that. So ironing them would be ridiculous.

    One time my grandmother was telling a story about how annoying my uncle was as a teenager. He HAD to have his jeans ironed because they HAD to have the pressed line down the front. Stick out tongue

  • No way!  I am lucky if the sheets get folded properly and put into the linen closet.

  • No, but I did iron the pillow cases before our last guests. They looked horrible. I don't know how they got so wrinkled, but it was worth ironing them.

    DH does this with his pillow case every.night.  I don't get it...I really don't.  My pillow case looks pristine in the morning, his looks like it went through the dryer shaped like a tight little accordion.

    I don't know how... But somehow, DH's pillow case comes COMPLETELY OFF during the night.

  • Hahahaha.. no.  It is rare that I buy clothes that need to be ironed, I hate doing it that much.

    H does both of these.  Wrinkly sheets, wrinkly pillowcase half off the pillow when he wakes up... my side is perfect.  WTF?

  • My H pulls the pillowcase off at night too.  It annoys me.

    I can understand (maybe) ironing sheets for the guest room but I would NEVER iron our sheets.  I don't even make the bed.
