Sounds like my old method of doing the ironing some years ago:
1. Fill iron
2. Set temperature on iron
3. Flap shirt with a flourish, lay over ironing board
4. Lower iron slowly towards fabric
5. Rub bruised shoulder where my mother barges me out of the way and "demonstrates the right way of doing it"...with every single item.

Result :-D

These days, of course, I don't iron - I moved out.
