I commute in day of my trip and try to minimalist my time away from home. Getting to base and pulling a wrinkly uniform out of my bag and finding an iron isn't an option. I know some people don't know what an iron is but some of us use them to make out uniform look nice and wrinkle free. A light commuter jacket over the uni fools most passengers.
Regards to the MCI incident I wish someone would put hands on me. I'd give YouTube a show in self defense
