Not talking about obvious things like crime.

I mean things that people just accept as part of life.

Things everyone does, but when you really think about it, it actually makes no sense.

Ironing clothes. Maybe this only applies to drier-safe clothes. The drier irons them more than enough. Then it always get balanced between crumbled from wearing and kinda ironed by body heat and such. Regardless if it's ironed first or not. At least for most of the clothes i wear, even without drier ironing, the body heat thing works fine relatively quickly.

I ran an experiment trying both ways for years to prove it's a useless waste time. No one was able to tell if i ironed my clothes or not. Because the end results is the same. It's worst than vanity in my opinion because you're supposed to be showing something better or more neat or whatever aesthetics you feel. Not if the same results regardless!

Ironing always felt like a ritual people inherited without questioning.
