I find it interesting that a person who claims to be so lazy they won’t bother turning off an appliance bothers to use that appliance in the first place. I mean, who irons?
I didn’t notice there where so many replies to the thread.
I like to make a few notes on the psychology involved here.
First I am not a kid I am an adult, the fact that I am living with parents is another issue. I already know I was supposed to turn it off I just forgot. I was in a rush I ironed my shirt and ran out the house. The iron was “On” and plugged in.
The point of my question was weather there was an overeaction to this. My mon didn’t just say “hey dummy you forgot the iron” it was more like “Hey idiot you almost killed us”.
The fact that iron was left on does not mean that the likelyhood of total house destruction or death was increased by multiple orders of magnitude. The Y and the Z would still had to have happened even though I already did X.
Should I have been sujected to a beating for such a mistake I dont think so.
