Last night I let my clean washing get darked on, on purpose! AMA

I mean, I'm known for writing speeches on a bus ticket circa ten minutes before I am giving them so I'd say risk is part of my daily life.

My husband asked me why I didn’t just leave the washing on the line yesterday when it wasn’t fully dry - the horror ! I told him it would be darked on and rubbed by spider willies but he said that’s fine it’s all your stuff 😂

Pegs do degrade, which is why I've switched to stainless steel ones. I sometimes wonder if we left the huge plastic continent in the sea out on a washing line for the summer then it would just disintegrate?

Are you ok Boris?

I don't even have an outside line 🤷‍♀️ just put everything on a clothes horse inside, am I doing it wrong? 🤔

Speaking of crap: yours is one of the first posts.

Surely this is a completely normal thing to do?

Damn! I hate it when he's right!

Bless.

Sustained a peg related injury earlier so can confirm the blighters will snap, sometimes spectacularly, if left to live outside. 😢

And yet here you are…

😂

What's with all the miserable sods?

Are you too hot and irritable?

Those aren't funny either. I agree @lankyhanky. There's got to be more interesting things to talk about than laundry! However, there will be a lot of tea-spitting and baby-waking going on because of this hilarious AMA.

My DM once left the washing out to get darked on. the following morning, as a young. Innocent teenager, I rushed down and got my favourite jeans off the line, ran back up and pulled them on. these were in the days before stretch denim had been invented and you had to use a coat hanger to fasten the zip whilst lying on the floor. As I struggled to fasten them, an EARWIG crawled out of the top of them and landed on my nether regions. Boy did I scream. And I couldn't get the buggers off they were so tight!
Since then, I have NEVER left my washing out to get darked on. That’s the way of madness.

I managed to leave a wasp in my DHs jeans (not even darked on) he was not amused.

I had a friend who hung out washing whatever the weather (probably not when chucking it) and brought it in when dry, however long that took. Could have been darked on several times.

What will you do now your clothes are cursed?

I'm going to ride the wave of bad luck I think!
I can confirm that now I have personal experience of people coming in to a harmless thread to be snotty, it's more unsettling than you think, however if I can ride the wave of darked washing I am sure I can survive this AMA experience

I always thought it was best practise to leave it out! It’s just a big old risk if it rains. It smells lovely if left in the fresh night air.
