Rule #1: When standing half-naked in the closet in the morning, do not select a shirt that needs ironed, even though it looks really nice with the slacks in which you’ve already clad your lower half.
Rule #2: If you do select a shirt that needs ironed, make sure you have enough time to do so before needing to leave for work.
Rule #3: When you ignore Rules #1 and #2, at least have the good sense to put something on your top half while you hurriedly rush through the ironing of the chosen shirt.
Rule #4: Since you have now chosen to ignore Rules #1-3, FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS on the job at hand.
Rule #5: If you deign to ignore all Rules above, by all means, do not, under any circumstances, lean over the ironing board to see what the cord is catching on.
Rule #6: Remove the slacks you’ve already donned before dousing your front parts with icy cold water.
Rule #7: Select an entirely new outfit to wear now, because a) the first outfit now has bad-day karma all over it (and the slacks are all wet because you blew off Rule #6) and b) you’re back to just your underwear now anyway.
Rule #8: NEVER ignore Rule #1.

No, no, you’ve got it TOTALLY wrong. Rule number one is “Never purchase clothes that need to be ironed”.
That would solve all your problems! Nearly everything I own can be de-wrinkled with a quick tumble in the dryer
