TIL I was ironing my dress shirts completely backwards for like 10 years

I was at my buddy's house in Cleveland last weekend and he watched me start ironing a button-down. He just laughed and said 'dude you're supposed to do the collar and cuffs first, not last.' I had been starting with the back panel every single time since college. Has anyone else had a super basic skill they were just doing backward the whole time?

Starting with the collar saves time because you work any wrinkles down as you go.

Yeah, that's a smart way to handle it, takes away a lot of the frustration later.
