Aibu not to iron? I own an iron somewhere, it’s about 20 years old and may or may not still work. I use it very very occasionally if I’m going out in something that needs ironing.

YABU - ironing is a task that should be done on all clothes

YANBU - ironing should never be done, or only very very occasionally.

I suppose lifestyle has a lot to do with it too. I wear a work uniform which is quick dry and doesn't need ironing and if I'm not at work I'm usually wearing running kit or leggings and T shirt. Therefore I only have 'good clothes' for when I'm going 'out out' and I wear a lot of dresses and jeans for that, none of which need ironing if you wash and then hang outdoors to dry in a stiff breeze.
