A cord for an iron that doesn't get itself into a snakey mess no matter how carefully you store it. I store it carefully, but other family members do not and THIS is the reality for a lot of people, in my house it is the person with the vagina that gets to sort out the Gordian knot every fucking time. If more people with penises ironed on a regular basis, I reckon they would have invented a cord that looks like an old school telephone cord that you could take off the iron and put in a box separately or something, anything. AIBU? Or am I doing the storage wrong and some domestic goddess will come along and tell me that Dyson already do one or something and I should get out more or have a fucking biscuit or something.
I have to untwist the cord thing every time I use it, and if I can't be arsed to do that, I find myself standing about 1 foot from the plug with a nest of cord that catches on the iron holder and the ironing board so low down its as if a toddler were attempting to iron a shirt, if a toddler were capable of screaming MOTHERFUCKER! every time it happens.
It puts me in mind of that old Vic Reeves thing where the club owner has a key around his neck on a short chain and has to crouch down to unlock the door. That's me ironing.
