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

[-] evasive_chimpanzee@lemmy.world 98 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 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.

no-iron clothes have synthetics in them

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.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 57 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?

Close enough. You can come in the club. There’s dunkaroos in the back if you’re hungry.

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

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 47 points 4 months ago

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.

You might even say we ironed that problem out

[-] SufniDroid@sh.itjust.works 42 points 4 months ago

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".

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

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

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

[-] hlqxz@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 months ago

I fuckin hate ironing clothes

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 29 points 4 months ago

Just like that grandma looks like she is 25 again

[-] Bye@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

You guys don’t iron clothes?

I’m a millennial and I iron my clothes, how do you get the wrinkles out???? Teach me your secrets

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 83 points 4 months ago

Who said anything about getting wrinkles out?

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 58 points 4 months ago

My clothes have artisanal wrinkling.

[-] evasive_chimpanzee@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

Fold your clothes immediately after drying, while they are still warm. Also, dryers that can add steam really help if you've got a few things that need wrinkle removal. Also, handheld steamers are cheap.

Mostly, avoid needing to iron by avoiding wearing formal business attire.
