    The type of person who would trust a $3 used clothes iron is also the type of person who’s never ruined a nice shirt with a blast of rusty steam out of a cheap clothes iron.

      Or, it’s the type of person who is in a life situation which requires shopping at secondhand stores but is still trying to look their best.

      Just try the iron on a rag or something first, so you can be sure it isn’t spitting rust or creating a fire hazard before using it on clothing you care about.

        Was just shitposting a personal anecdote, not trying to incite a class war over a non-refundable clothes iron they wouldn’t let you try in the store anyway.

      This type of person doesn’t iron their shirts. They use the iron to make grilled cheese sandwiches and melt action figures to sniff the fumes.
