Too Much Effort

I was looking at the care instructions for my new panties, and they specify using a low setting for ironing said panties. This begs the question--who irons their panties? I don't.

Do you?

I have NEVER even considered ironing my underwear. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? My mom had a maid for a few months before I moved out and she ironed our sheets. I would never take the time to do it, but boy were they smooooth.

I guess you wouldn't have to spend alot of time ironing, especially if it was a thong or g-string. HA!

Even ironing sheets is going to far for me--waaay too much effort. Even for really smooth sheets.

Of course, if I did iron my underwear, I suppose I'd have to be on a really strict diet so that I wouldn't have to get a bigger size in underwear (or I'd have to wear a thong or g-string, as amstaff mom suggested;)that would require spending way too much time ironing the unmentionables.

Amstaff Mom said...

I agree.

How wrinkly can underwear get that the necessity would arise for them to be ironed.

This also begs the question of, if your mother tells you to wear clean underwear in case you get in a car accident and they have to cut your pants off of you and you are just out there in your undies for the traffic world to see, would those same undies need to be ironed to make the proper impression. Or would the EMT guy whisper to the other one, look this lady doesn't have ironed undies what a slob. Throw a blanket over her so I don't get offended by her wrinkly undies.

Amstaff Mom said...

HA HA HA!! K-T, you always take "funny" to the next level. They'd have to be throwing a blanket over me. I had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital once, in ONLY my terry-cloth robe. (which didn't stay tied). OH THE HORROR!!!! ugh.

Katie said...

Well AM they would have to throw a blanket over me even if my underwear were ironed, because NOONE wants to see me in my underwear, and I don't want ANYONE to see me in them either.

Katie said...

And by the next "funny" level you really mean the level of absurdity (is that spelled right I'm too lazy to check even though I've spent more time typing that I'm too lazy then it would take to check), which is the level I dwell on.

Amstaff Mom said...

KT - Absurdity = Funny in my book any day.

And I SO would have been happy wearing non-ironed undies that day instead of none at all. Man, how embarrassing that was. I'm just so thankful that the fireman/paramedic that lived a few houses down from us didn't answer that call. It was humiliating enough without having my neighbor see me nekked.

There's a PHOTO!!! But it's small. And old. Can we have a larger, more recent photo? Are y'all identical, btw?

RR said...

Katie, you are so funny. No one wants to see me in my underwear, either, so I hope there would be blankets a-plenty should I ever need the services of an EMT.

Amstaff, I didn't want to make the picture too big because then everytime I post something it will be BIG PICTURE squeezing into my little posted square, and other people will say, "Look at her. She doesn't have anything good to say, but she wants people to notice her, so she uses a big picture. Big Picture Hog."

Amstaff Mom said...

Yo comprendo. But we need to see additional, larger, more recent photos then. Of you and the impatient chicken. Please?

i was shocked when I guy i used to like was staying with me a couple of days (when I was in college) and I found out then that he irons all his clothes. ALL of them.

RR said...

All of them? Underwear too?
