There's not a lot of ironing in my life. I specifically choose clothing that won't require it. If something has to be ironed, I do it on towels on the counter. Of course, most of my work clothes have to be dry cleaned, so they get ironed in that process, but that's a new development.

I can iron. I just usually don't. Of the three people in my household, I am by far the most likely to iron.

I did check "I iron on folded up towels...." because I do, on the extremely rare occasions when I wear something that needs ironing. I think that was once last year. Generally, I wear jeans and a T shirt, and they live in a garbage bag on my bedroom floor from the time they come home from the laundromat until the time I put them on.

I think the last time I wore something that had been ironed was 1994.

I don't wear anything that needs to be ironed, and very few things that need to be dry cleaned.

I wear wrinkly clothes sometimes. It fits my nerd/geek image.

many of the above. i love the feel of a crisply ironed button down shirt, though i'm not fond of starch.

I HATE to iron... I'm terrible at it.. I think I iron more wrinkles into my clothes than they started with. When I used to have to travel for business all the time, my boss would bring her iron to my room to iron all my clothes because she knew, otherwise, I'd wear them wrinkly... My boyfriend and I have an iron and neither of us irons... If he needs something ironed, he'll do it himself... I just keep the wrinkles. :)

One of my close friends irons her jeans... she says it keeps them from getting "knee bag" later in the day.

I'm part of a mixed gender relationship and I have no idea if we have an ironing board. Obviously I've never used it if we do.

I buy non-iron shirts and make sure I take them out of the machine straight away - they're nearly perfect and certainly acceptable. I hated ironing and now just don't for anything.

We don't have an ironing board, we use the kitchen table with a towel on it. Both of us take turns doing the ironing and all of the other housework.

We have an ironing board, and I am more likely to use it, but I don't iron clothes (unless I really have to). Ironing is essential for sewing, though, so that's what I use it for. Oh, and occasionally things like tablecloths.
I have convinced my father to iron for me on occasion. :)

I own an iron, and I do iron, as does my fiance, but neither of us likes to do it. Wash and wear is our motto!

And, truth be told, we didn't even buy the ironing board - my mother gave it to us as she had gotten rid of everything that needed ironing (she loathed ironing).

dab: We don't have an ironing board. We do have an iron, but I rarely use it.

well, neither of us "irons" in the sense of wearing clothes that need ironing, but my SO sews a lot and therefore irons fabric on a quasi-regular basis.

"iron," always a somewhat difficult word for me in terms of justifying appearance and pronunciation, has taken on the "I've seen it too many times and now it looks weird" aspect in this survey

All of my non-hanging clothes are wrinkled.

I checked both "single female - no ironing board" and "mixed gender relationship - man irons." Both are accurate right now.

We have a built-in ironing board in our
apartment - handy. I do actually iron on
occasion, but not all that often. I
actually find it sort of satifying to watch
the wrinkles go away (once I learned how not
to put in more than I took out.

I usually just shake my clothes out and deal with the remaining wrinkles, unless they're TOO noticeable, in which case, I'll iron.
