Easy Iron shirts, and the clerks in the store that you retail - you are trying my patience.
I’m out shopping and I see this white shirt with an Easy Iron sticker on it.
I’m curious as to if this means that the shirt is easy to iron or that it needs no ironing.
I’m sincerely hoping that it, like many shirts I own, is a case of non-iron. Otherwise there’s not much point is there?
I mean a non-iron shirt you just wash, shake and hang to dry on a hanger. Very practical. A lovable garment.
An easy-iron shirt? Well I still need to bring out and unfold my damn ironing board, refill the friggin iron, plug it in and wait for it to heat up. Who the hell gives a damn if it’s easy to iron or not? By the time I’m ready to iron I’m already frustrated!
There is iron and non-iron. Anything in between is completely pointless!
So I kindly ask the store clerk if this Easy Iron sticker means non-iron or just easy-iron? The poor thing doesn’t know, so she has to ask the store manager. So she asks him:
-The Easy Iron shirt. Is it easy to iron or doesn’t it need ironing?
He replies:
-The Easy Iron shirts are easy to iron.
That is the exact moment I realize that any further reasoning is futile. The combined intellect of these two people cannot outdo on the infinite wisdom of a two-word sticker.
I politely hang the shirt back where I found it. And then… iron right out the door…
