Probably the most embarrassing pictures I'll ever post

Also - if an iron has an automatic shut-off - when the iron is moved, it will heat up again if one did not actually turn it off.
I usually - or so I thought - click the iron to "off" - so I set a cold iron on carpet - and the iron heated up and melted the carpet.
Now DH put an extension cord up so that it is easier to plug and unplug the iron in - and I always unplug it now when I am not using it.

You made my day. That really is funny and I really needed a laugh today. It is exactly something that I would do. Yes, I do feel sorry that it happened though. Guess you just have to look at the bright side. You get to buy a new iron!

my iron shuts off while I"m ironing! every time! well it beeps and will shut off if I don't lift it up an upright, then continue ironing a bit more. someone made mine wrong! otherwise it is a good iron. will shut off but i always punch the button to go down and show blue. means off. Then when completely done in sewing room, i unplug from extension cord.
