Poll of the Day > Do you iron?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't remember the last time I ironed something. But I usually don't anymore. I use to for some stuff. And I might if I'm around my mom and grandma. What about you, PotD?
---

I used to for the odd thing. But that was mostly when I played in a large senior concert band. Nothing for years.

---

Nope

I dont need to wear anything decent during the week

I have a button up collared shirt for special occasions I throw in the dryer in case there are any wrinkles on it

---

Do they not require that in the service anymore?

That is the only time in my life I ironed stuff, when I was in the Airforce. Since then I just use a dryer to quickly get wrinkles out of stuff (if they even need it).

I have not ironed in over 30 years.

Depends. I think you basically had to for the BDUs, but not really for ABUs. And not for the new ones, either. For Blues, you have to. But I havent worn Blues in years, and hope to never have to wear them again...

yes

obviously

---

My wife used to but I haven't needed it in a while. In my younger days I used to seduce women and get them to iron my clothes and do sewing work for me

---

No. When things are done in the dryer they go on hangers if they are something that will wrinkle, otherwise they get folded up

---

I cannot believe how much of my parents free time was wasted ironing shirts.

A firm no.

---

Not for 10 years, at least

---

I only PUMP iron

(No I do not iron my clothes)

---

Yes but only if it's a special occasion. Since I don't wear uniforms anymore I hardly iron.

---

Mostly use my little steamer thing.

Mostly just for making shirts

---

no need.

if I had to get wrinkles out of something I would just hang it up in the bathroom while showering, and let the steam take care of it.

you can also sprinkle it with water, and put it in the dryer for a few minutes
---

ya, I ain't no smooth brain... wrinkle up my casual wear, bruh

---

My girlfriend irons for me on occasion but usually no ironing.

Before in-person interviews I usually iron in the hotel room.

This, except I have a full size one. Pretty easy, plus less chance of burning yourself and you don't need a board to iron on. Can just do it right on the hanger.

I only do it for my work shirts and khakis, which since I have been working from home since March of last year I haven't done in a long time.

---

I have an ironing board, an iron, and a garment steamer, but I haven't actually used them in at least 15 years.


---

I got my mother's old ironing board that I haven't used in 15 years either. I used to iron my school uniform on it until I realised the bed is a much better surface. Since late school days I ironed my uniforms and later on work clothes, on my bed. Just make sure not to scorch sheets. The last time I used a board at all was in the army 8 years ago. All the guys hated ironing but I was very good at it so I offered to do all the uniforms. At a price of course.

I though about getting one of those once. We use to use it on base for some stuff...

Very rarely. If I'm putting on a suit or something I might but most the clothes I put on don't require ironing.

---

Yes, but only my work clothes

---

If it's wrinkly, yes

or a steamer for certain things

---

Mostly for special occasions (i.e. weddings, funerals, etc.)
