@robb It's definitely a choice. I don't buy a dish or whatever if it can't go in the dishwasher. Same for ironing. If something is naturally wrinkly or can't be fixed by 15 minutes in the dryer with a damp cloth, then it's not coming home with me. That shit just isn't worth my time.
Yet somehow, I manage to currently own 2 irons. They've been useful for exactly one purpose, which is affixing iron-on numbers to my wife's roller derby practice jerseys.
