| You need to learn to iron because its an important life skill.
Now whetehr or not you will need it next year...thats a different story. If you dont wear things that need ironing, it wont be that much of a priority. Since we dont pay for water here, a lot of people just put their shirts in the bathroom and turn the showers as hot as they go and steam out the minor wrinkles. I own a hand steamer (well, my mom owned it and never used it so now I have it) that lets me steam out most wrinkles though my shirts still need ironing every now and then.
I dont have an iron, though I have borrowed one a couple of times to do pants and try to do shirts but I discovered its really hard to do shirts without a real ironing board. The pointy end really helps when it comes to mens shirts...and most people dont have ironing boards.
It's something thats good to know how to do (and its not hard) but you wont need it much right away and when you do, you can borrow the iron and stuff you need so you can iron a shirt for an interview or something. |
