ironing
bear with me, it's not what you think.
it's not the tedium i dislike, it's not ironing something, only to find that a sleeve has got tucked underneath and is now creased to buggery.
it's the smell.
ironed clothes smell scorched, i just hate it!

I find ironing quite cathartic. The smell of slightly off water I can live with.
Now, dusting I despise. It isn't removing dust, it is merely relocating it until you have walked away whereupon it immediately returns to its original location.

I like the smell of ironing
it reminds me of my mum. I however don't own an ironing board and never iron anything. Every time she comes down she tries to buy me one. What the fuck for?

the only reason i've got an iron is because my mum bought me one for christmas.
WTF? even if i loved ironing, why the fuck would i want an iron for christmas?

Every time?
Sounds like her massive drug highs tend to involve falling into some kind of existential funk about your lack of ironing board.
Maybe if you just got one, she'd be free to enjoy acute intoxication without being distracted by thoughts of your neglected housework.
