VILLA RICA, Ga. — Authorities have charged a 29-year-old man with aggravated assault and false imprisonment after they allege he held his mother hostage for failing to iron his clothes. Carroll County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Marc Griffith said the man remained in jail Wednesday without bond. The unidentified woman was not harmed in the June 30 incident.
Griffith said the man, who lives with his parents, wanted his mother to do some ironing because it was "woman's work." When she refused, authorities allege he pulled out a gun, and took his 51-year-old mother's keys and cellphones and refused to let her leave for at least six hours.
She eventually escaped and went to a police station. Authorities were able to get the man out without incident.

He could have taken the shirts to a dry clearer for a $1.99 a shirt.
Good thing it wasn’t Iran, she would be lashed.
The reason the south lost the civil war, not enough Virginians to go around.
Ping!
Seems reasonable.
She raised him.
The good news is that his parents won’t have to support him anymore.
Where’s that Master’s Tournament protest picture with the guy holding the “Iron my Shirt...” in the background.
29 years old and living with his mom. Sigh... I couldn’t wait to move on with my life, left home at 19. And did my own ironing. Still do, when not welding or doing carpentry. What’s with all these lazy young people nowadays?
beats me, I left home at 17.
Yeah, now he's our problem.
Maybe he’ll have to work in the prison laundry.
When I started 7th grade, I wanted to wear ironed shirts to school and told mom. She said if I wanted an ironed shirt iron it myself. I said okay, but I needed to learn how. She told me to go find my older sister to learn. A simple lesson learned. The momma in this story needs to withhold the nipple from her worthless son.
You’re right she raised him.
I remember when my son was in fifth or sixth grade, I was doing laundry and I went to get the clothes from his hamper and it was empty. I checked his room and the clothes were all over the floor. I left them and finished the laundry. In a day or so, he came downstairs in the morning complaining that he didn’t have any clean clothes. I told him that couldn’t be because I had just done all the laundry that was in the hamper. He got the message.
I hope after this little stunt she kicked his sorry a$$ out of the house!
Or not.
