A 29-year-old man in the US has been charged with false imprisonment after allegedly holding his mother hostage for failing to iron his clothes.
Police said Robert Edward Tyrrell Jnr, from Atlanta, wanted his mother to do some ironing and when she refused he pulled a gun on her.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the woman was not harmed in the incident.
Sergeant Marc Griffith from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office said the pair got into an argument.
"He told her 'ironing is woman's work'," Sgt Griffith said.
Tyrrell, who lives with his parents, took his 51-year-old mother's keys and cellphones and is accused of refusing 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.
