seriously why do people bother with this pointless ritual they've concocted for themselves?

There is an irony to ironing, isn't there.

I don't think you need to do that if you are single like me and don't go out much. But if you are going for a job interview or trying to get into a college or an internship, it really does not matter what one might think themselves, people are going to look at your appearance.

I don't iron or even fold my cloths, but I do wash them. But again, I am also 52, retired and single.

I don't own anything that needs ironing.

Between us, the missus and I have a few articles that should be ironed, and look better when they do. Fortunately, they can also be dry-cleaned, so we have them pressed. We don't own an iron.

One of my great-grandmothers had her occupation listed as "linen ironer". She ironed sheets all day long. Kept food on the table I guess. And didn't slow her down much, she had seven kids.

Good for her! Ironing linen is a skill and no mistake. I learned to do it when I was a kid. Never again.

Think of all those poor iron workers who are losing their jobs.

You iron clothes to get the wrinkles out. That is the point of ironing clothes.
