Have you ever burned yourself by ironing clothes that you are wearing?

[Michelle67]

No...and I don't blowdry my hair in the bathtub either.

But do you blowdry your hair while wearing clothes?

This thread is prompted by Charade's one about his wife cutting her nostril while shaving her legs...

If my wife noticed a large wrinkle in something she already was wearing she would try to iron it while she was still wearing. Needless to say, she often got burnt.

Is this something that ALL women try at least once?

No, never done that BUT something almost as bad...I was getting ready to go out and noticed there was a huge wrinkle in my shirt, and some smaller ones in my pants. So I took off everything and was ironing in my underwear and got a little too close to the board with the iron resting on it and burnt a line on my stomach!!!!! OUCH!!!!!!! I felt like such a, well can I say ******* on this site??? Anyway, that's what I felt like. LOL

A few years back, DW decided to iron out a crease on her sleeveless shirt and burned her arm. It looked bad because she had a tan and the burn caused a white mark on her arm. She looked ridiculous. Thankfully, it didn't scar though!

Yes...yes...steam burns to the abdomen can be very painful.

Okay coming clean...I neither blowdry nor iron at all. I'm a wash and wear kinda gal. I was just laughing and thinking about various warning labels I've seen (and thinking of my dad saying that any time you see one, it means someone has tried it and probably tried to sue over it) and that was the one that jumped out at me. No no no blowdrying your hair in the bathtub.

Well I was not wearing the clothes but many decades ago (when I ironed) I reached across the ironing board and the iron fell on the back of my arm.

In today's world no one would have believed that. It looked like I had been abused and that someone had stuck an iron to my arm. How could one do that by accident? But I did.

My SIL tried to iron her shirt collar and burn her neck, then she had to hide the burn mark because it looked just like a love bite (hickey) I noticed it but didn't want to pry into their love life, but thinking to self, after 20+ years, they're still going at it that wild? Then finally she fessed up that it was a burn mark

 

[jimmalru80]

No. I have never ironed an item of my clothing in 50 years. I love my wife.

Here is a helpful hint. If you are in a hurry and you have a hair dryer you can hold the hair drier directly on the wrinkle and it will come out and is does not cause scars that burn.

What the...

PEOPLE! TAKE THEM OFF TO IRON THEM!

lol

 

[Buckalew11]

You CAN use a flat iron to get some of those wrinkes without burning yourself!!

I have done this many times.

 

[Cindy B]

My MIL did this. She has since passed on, and on the rare occasion that my family needs something to iron.. they say "Don't do a Mom Mom!"
