Have you ever walked in on your partner ironing the curtains? Is that a normal household chore? #IroningCurtains #HouseholdTasks #RelationshipQueries
I was surprised to see my girlfriend ironing the curtains the other day. She insists it’s a common practice. Is this something others do too? #DomesticDilemmas #GirlfriendMysteries
Is ironing curtains a typical task, or is my girlfriend just unique? I’m curious to know what others think about this. #UnusualHouseholdTasks #RelationshipInsights
Have you ever heard of someone ironing their curtains? My girlfriend swears by it, but I’m not convinced. #UnconventionalHouseholdChores #CuriousMind
I stumbled upon my girlfriend ironing the curtains and couldn’t believe my eyes. Is this a usual thing to do? #DomesticDiscoveries #CuriosityStrikes
Some of us do, yes. Wash the curtains, then hang them up to dry, then use the iron to smooth them.
Some folks send them out.
Depending on the material of the curtains, sure.
Looking at my own now and those things definitely are pretty fucking wrinkled
Starting a relationship with an overly neat person beats the hell out of a starting a relationship with a dirty person
I did it a couple times before, usually right after I open the new curtains, since they come folded and have a ton of creases from when its folded
I iron our curtains as well. Especially the heavy drapes that crease during washing.
As long as she isn’t vacuuming them you should be fine
Some people do it, yeah.
I know someone who irons their bedsheets. Curtains make a whole lot more sense than bedsheets.
Ok but why is this NSFW? What’s so scandalous about curtains?
I spent a good second or three trying to figure out the euphemism here, lol
I was totally expecting you to have walked in on her fucking some dude. Ironing curtains isn’t a bad thing to walk into. Could have been a whole lot worse.
I mean, I prefer to steam release the wrinkles from mine, but my dad was a staunch ironing proponent
Ironing curtains is essential after washing them, especially near the top where the pleats are. Cotton, Linen, or other natural fiber is best ironed. Yoo do not want to ever iron polyester blended or insulated curtains as you are likely to scorch them or worse yet delaminate the fabric from the insulation ply
Im net sure what to say
I dont want to draw any conclusions
Are you blind to any other behaviours ?
Im black out of ideas as to why she would do this ?
Has she got any other hangups ?
Will this be curtains for your relationship ?
Leave the girl alone, let her live her life, there’s far weirder things women are capable of.
As long as they aren’t plastic and will melt or something like that.
Sure. New curtains have winkles from being in the packaging, and just washed curtains just generally look rumpled.
If she just takes them down and irons them at random, that’s a little odd.
Yes. Otherwise it looks like you took a plastic table cloth out of the package and hung it up.
TIL people wash and iron their curtains…
I suppose I’ve never lived anywhere long enough, that had curtains, so it never really occurred to me.
Depends on the person and curtains
If they’re really wrinkly, they may choose to. Even if their current ones are fine, they may do it out of habit
Yup
Demand to know which planet she really comes from!
I get the feeling you didn’t mean the curtains you hang in front of a window
Is this a euphemism for something 🤔
Ironing? Nope.. But I looked around and realised that none of the curtains here is more than 2 years old and their replacements are already partly made.
So, apparently I change my curtains every 2 years or so, maybe I’m not normal.
Get her a fabric steamer. It’s a total game changer, you can get the wrinkles out while they’re hanging up instead of mucking about with an ironing board.
It’s very normal to want your things to lay nicely.
Curtains- sure. My MIL ironed bed sheets and underwear.
Who cares? I read “I walked in on my girlfriend” and was expecting the worst, this is a good end for that sentence, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth and all that
Is this a sex thing?
Man! Give her some privacy.
Yes. I’ll wash and iron mine once a year.
why nsfw?
Yes. When they are brand new, often they need to be ironed first.
Buy her a steaming iron from target.
The only time I’ve ironed curtains was when I was heavily pregnant and in the nesting stage. But I avoid ironing anything at all costs.
My answer to you is if you have someone as a SO you have to be okay with everything they do as normal and get used to all their habits and quirks you don’t like.
Say nice things about her and don’t be a dick
Ironing is meant to get wrinkles out of clothes, but curtains hang completely loose 24/7. What wrinkles is she trying to get out of it? And hopefully they are not flammable.
I feel it would make more sense to steal your curtains? You can use a stool or ladder for the parts you can’t reach.
Absolutely. Sooner or later, you’re gonna catch her ironing the carpets too. Be prepared
Is this a euphemism?
Half the people in these comments get it, and the other half are wholesome people giving home cleaning tips lol
Unless you are the kind of person who staples a towel over the window, yes. Curtains need to be ironed to fall correctly.
I had a roommate once who ironed his hats and his underwear. He was a bit special.
No but who cares? If your girlfriend wants to iron curtains who cares? She could be doing a lot worse things.
I take this isn’t a Double entendre of something dirty she was doing?
Of things you can walk in on your girlfriend doing, this is pretty harmless.
Steaming them makes sense but I’ve never ironed them.
