The month I stopped ironing my work shirts cold

Got tired of rewashing shirts that looked worse after ironing, so I tried throwing them in the dryer with a damp towel for 10 minutes and now I haven't touched an iron in 6 months - has anyone else figured out a shortcut that felt too stupid to try at first?

Too stupid to try" is exactly where I landed with this too. I was the same way with ironing for years, but my stupid hack is way simpler than yours. I just hang my work shirts in the bathroom while I shower. The steam from the hot water makes the wrinkles fall right out. I felt like an idiot the first time I tried it because it seemed too good to be true. But it works every single time and I haven't touched an iron in over a year. Does it work as well for heavier fabrics like denim or is it pretty much just for dress shirts?

Too stupid to try" pretty much sums up my approach to half the life hacks I swear by now... I still can't believe I spent years wrestling with an iron when a wrinkled shirt in the back of my car for 20 minutes does the same thing.
