I laughed my ass off at this, and thus had to share it with you fine folks. Enjoy.

This man should definitely be teaching Home Ec.

I want to know what he keeps behind the 'black door' more than anything else. I bet it's good, whatever it is.

Nowadays, it's 'lifestyle and design'

i always thought ironing stuff was a waste of time anyway. its just going to get dirty and creased as the day goes on. so if anyone notices, say oh hey yeah i get up early and work hard, sorry.

Hanging them in a humid room for a bit, like as you're taking a long hot shower, also does the trick.

Dont talk to me about Ironing

Back in the day I was an expert having to overcome many obstacles. Look at the creases in the pictures. They were measured by a SNCO and fuck did you know about it if they were a milimeter out or not straight.

Use to use soap and starch to get them to the required standard.

Saw many a beating dished out for sloppy work.

All part of the process though eh... if you don't iron your shirt properly, then you're not getting a gun to go and kill yourself some people

As long as the clothes arent too creased, they tend to iron out just from body heat, so I tend not to bother with ironing. though should the need arise I will be returning to the video for a recap

I don't think anyone actually watched the video. The guy gets piss drunk, and cuts the sleeves and buttons off with an 'oh fuck it' attitude.

What's all this ironing business? I thought that was one of the essential features of letting gravity do it's thing

iron your clothes

I hated home economics.

I made a pair of purple satin peddle pushers but cut the material out wrong and ended up with the back being ok but the front the wrong side of the material.

My apple ball didn't cook because I failed to turn on the oven , then when i did, and took the baking tray out with my hand it was hot so said 'fucking bastard' to the cooker and the apple ball rolled down the classroom ,

I was moved to woodwork/metalwork 9 weeks in
