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".
My parents bought me one when I moved out. Kept it around boxed for 5 years before throwing it out unused. If you care my clothing is wrinkled, I will never respect you.
Hopefully you donated it, instead of just throwing it directly in the dumpster.
There's still people who use them and not all of those people can afford one.
Bragging about wasting a perfectly good tool (and a gift) that you were too stupid to figure out how to use. Then, to mask your embarrassment, you try to put blame onto those who do understand the purpose of an iron.
Grow up.
Nothing about their comment outlined that they didn't know how to use it. But that they never did use it.
Nothing about their comment eludes to any fact that they're embarrassed at all. They posted it publicly and directly with not reservation which is the opposite of "embarrassed".
They didn't blame anyone for anything related to the iron itself. But for shallow intentions if they care at all about the clothes that they wear. Which I can understand and agree with to some extent.
You on the other hand... You're a jackass. Lots of insinuations, lots of assumptions. Just to put down some random person on the internet for not wanting a fucking iron that probably was the 20$ special at wally world.
I justify any purchase that I regret as "investment". In 50 years, it will sure be worth at least 10x!
I at least got one of those little cheap half size ironing boards that I can hide by the dryer. I iron special occasion clothes and that one silk shirt I love to straighten the button strip whatever if it is egregious... Otherwise it sits unused 99.5% of the year.
They're good for Hama beads.
