Regarding soft drink cans: Many seniors have a touch of arthritis, and the chill and wetness from the cans may cause a bit of discomfort. In addition, their hands may lose a bit of flexibility with age, and the napkin or plastic increases their ability to grip the can.

Regarding ironing (I have a couple of years on you, so does that qualify me as an older person?): I don’t like wrinkled clothing. In my opinion, it makes one look unkept and lazy, like you just don’t care about your appearance, but I believe that to be a personal decision. As for older people and ironing, most came up during a time when we didn’t have additives in our clothing (think polyester), or fabric softeners and ironing was a daily function and factor of their lives. So perhaps it’s habits. Also, are these older people retired? Perhaps they simply have more time to put into their appearance. Finally, clothes just feel better on the body when they are smooth and wrinkle-free.
