Why do people insist on putting out washing when having heavy rain?

If out all day, don’t do it. If in, take it in as soon as it rains!

Washing stinks when out in the rain. Or when is stuck in the washing machine - as parents’ washing machine on Friday. It didn’t drain - the pump has gone. I took the load home with me and washed it as stank. Not strong, but enough to feel conscious about it.

If you’re going out and/or can’t hang it up to dry inside. The weather is changeable and they are hoping it will drip dry at least.

And on that note, I shall go and put another load on, since the sun is shining. 😁

Are Sunday mornings always this exhilarating on here?

Usually.

Are you on glue? Nobody hangs washing out in heavy rain it makes absolutely zero sense to do so.

Because they hadn’t checked the forecast. Because they hoped to be back before the rain. Because it doesn’t much matter, it will dry again anyway.

No, it doesn’t stink if it gets rained on. Not in the slightest. It’s nothing like the musty smell of soggy washing left in a machine to fester.

Maybe they hang washing out and then go to work. I can't imagine anyone does it on purpose.
