Banning elbows not being allowed on the table and hats not being allowed indoors are also wins for me

Elbows have always been allowed on the table. The rule for fancy dining was that you couldn’t have elbows on the table during a course, i.e., when people are actively eating, but before/after, it’s fine. That’s a reasonable rule to be considerate of space.

Never been an issue for me. The issue would be invading someone’s personal space. Maybe we just have bigger tables where I live.

If elbows aren’t allowed on a table during a course of a fancy dinner, they have definitely not always been allowed on the table.

I mean doesn’t everyone still at least wear the stretchy shorts under their dress? Like I’m not going just panties. That seems so lewd.

As someone who can’t sit straight I only wore shorts and trousers until I learnt this trick in my twenties. While I personally don’t find it lewd, other people clearly do and I get so pissed off every time someone feels the need to inform me that they’ve been looking up my skirt.

I’m gonna be the Debbie downer and mention that no-iron clothes have synthetics in them, the washing of which is a major contributor to the microplastics problem.

Lol who said anything about specific garments? We just wear our clothes wrinkled and no one cares. My linen shirts looked wrecked for an hour or so and then the wrinkles fall out, for instance.

Yeah that’s linen for you. People don’t wear it much anymore sadly so they don’t get that they just look wrinkled. I love linen shirts though.

most my clothing is 100% cotton, and I have never ironed once I left my parent’s home.

If I have to choose between keeping nature around and not having to buy an iron again, is gonna be a tough choice.

No iron clothes is a lie. They say no iron on the label in the store, but they tell you to iron in on the care label.

Hanging them up wet rather than putting them in the dryer will get most wrinkles out, especially if you smooth/stretch the collar, placket and cuffs

Wool, cotton, etc, all don’t need ironing. Just don’t over dry and hang them up right away.

Ironing seems like it’d be a really chill and relaxing activity, if we had time to engage in it.

It is, if you don’t have to do it all the damn time. If you just iron your clothes when you want/need to, it’s an enjoyable chore.

We are considered a micro-generation they have dubbed Xennials 1977-1983

Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood.

I feel like a lot of people from different countries would fit that description after the fact since technology was more expensive and it took us longer to be able to afford the new and trendy items.
