I don't iron underpants.
Puts me in mind of this Zoe Mulford song:

Life Is Too Short to Fold Underwear

There's one piece of wisdom that sticks in my head
I heard it someplace or it's something I read
about someone or other whose grandmother said
that life is too short to fold underwear

CHORUS:
Life is too short to fold underwear
Life is too short to play solitaire
Get off your duff - it's time to begin
There's good deeds to do and there's sins to be sinned
and there's not enough time to fit it all in
Life is too short to fold underwear

Life is too short to eat processed cheese
or mealy tomatoes, or third-rate Chinese
or to live someplace dismal without any trees
and life is too short to fold underwear

Life is too short to spend it alone
or with folks that are mean, or a long way from home
or to serve an obsession that isn't your own
and life is too short to fold underwear
