I'll shovel.
Sure, pick a chore I'll never need.

Thrive to spite them
I don't own an iron. I'm totally use the dryer to get out the wrinkles.
Honestly I can't think of one household chore I find pleasant or enjoyable. I can tolerate some more than others but I really don't want to do any of it. Which explains the state of my house.

Very cool, erika!
I hate all household chores equally.
I haven't ironed clothes in at least 30 years. If something doesn't come out of the dryer ready to wear, well, that's why god made dry cleaners. When I tried to iron, I ironed in more wrinkles than I ironed out.
I've never ironed, nor do I intend to learn. TCG used to iron when I met him. We do own an iron and an ironing board. Last time Mom was here and insisted that a tablecloth needed to be ironed, I had no idea where either of them were. I do intend to use the ironing board someday to make pasta they way Alton Brown demonstrated on Good Eats.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I was going to post literally this.
I think I may have ironed something once. I use Laura's wet towel in the dryer trick.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I've owned irons and an ironing board at some point. Jilli might know and she hasn't been here in well over a year. At some point I'm gong to refuse to move them. If it wasn't last time, it's the next time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oh, and my doctor confirmed what I'd suspected: bursitis in both hips. Not much that can be done for it that I'm not already doing, but if it gets worse, I'll ask about cortisone shots.

I have no ironing board.
I have the world's best ironing board. I think it belonged to my grandmother in the 70s and is super sturdy. It doubles as a craft table.
I also have the very best folding chairs ever made...probably in the 50s.
They just don't make 'em like they used to.

Have I ever mentioned that my sister irons jeans? We all know what that means.

My mother ironed underwear. She never really could explain why.
