My neighbour's washing line.

[ShotsFired]

I can't bear it anymore, I have to share this with you.

A shirt hung from the collar by one peg.
Several pairs of pants scrunched into one peg
A t-shirt hung at an angle, one peg in the middle of the shoulder, one somewhere around nipple level.
A large tablecloth(?) just sort of thrown at the line, dragging a corner on the grass.

All mixed colours, all mixed pegs, all out there for days now.

You might be my neighbour. This is how my (adult) son hangs out the washing. I’m sure he does it on purpose so I don’t ask him to do it again. But I’m not rising to it!

My husband does this. It's infuriating.

Sneak into her garden and rehang the washing the way you think it should be done.

Why is it bothering you so much?

Oh my god yes to boy/man help!

Argghh
My new neighbour hung their washing out for the first time yesterday. Pegged correctly but they left it out all night! Do they not know it’ll get darked on?!
I don’t think we’ll be friends.

Sorry, I was going to wait till it stops raining before I got them in. I'll do it when the baby wakes up.

What's more, there is a garden sort of behind it/in my line of sight that has the exact opposite.

Beautiful pegged washing in neat rows, all up to standard and flapping in the breeze, while this lot sort of droops about sadly.

I bet they haven't shook the creases out either!

My son hangs his washing by the shoulders too. Madness.

Slut! Slattern! Bet she's indoors quaffing cider by the flagon and chainsmoking fags while watching Jeremy whathisname, the shouty one, while her dirty unwashed kids with filled nappies lunch on cheesy whatsits.
Oh yes, I know the sort.

and mixed pegs, you say?
Just proves my point!

Brace yourself, @AviatorShades but they leave the pegs on the line all year round too.

Maybe the neighbour doesn't have enough pegs? Could you do a peg intervention, or post a set of pegs through their letter box with anonymous note?

I must admit, I do do mixed wooden and plastic pegs I needed to make a stand and rebel, sue me.

You've no choice really, you'll just have to move.

@IhatetheArchers Maybe the neighbour doesn't have enough pegs?

They have tons. Their empty line looks like a peg re-imagining of The Birds

I think you’re definitely my neighbour - I leave my (mixed) pegs out all year round too. Although, I think it’s raining in Glasgow, so he’s probably not hung any washing out.

So. They have pegs, but wilfully refuse tip use them. That is harassment. Call 101 and have it logged. They will probably ask you to keep a diary.

Gaaaah!

My lodger hangs his washing in this sort of way. It makes me twitch. I have to avert my eyes.

All mixed colours, all mixed pegs, all out there for days now. That part doesn't bother me though. It's the scrunched-up clothes I hate.

ROFL as ds would say. That would wind me up too. My most fastidious neighbour had her perfectly pegged laundry darked and rained on last night. This is so unusual that I was tempted to pop round and check she was ok. Me: "Hey, you're not being as anal about your washing as usual. Everything ok?"

Sounds like when I ask my teen/young adult/DH to hang washing. It’s a deliberate ploy to avoid being asked again. I don’t fall for it.

Sounds like my line. I just don't give a shit. I've got more important/better things to do, so I just throw the stuff at the line and hope for the best.

Can't be doing with it at all.

Our NDN chucks his laundry on just one side of his 4 arm rotary in the same way, then leaves it out forever. The pole isn’t secured, so sits at an extreme angle trailing sleeves, etc in the mud.

He’s also never dealt with the debris that is the back garden since he moved in (new build mud patch), but instead chucked grass seed on it.

He then attempted to mow the rock fest that he seemed to think had miraculously transformed into a lush lawn and blew his mower up. He ended up on hands and knees snipping away with shears until he lost the will to live.

I can only hope he’s good at his job (nurse), as everything he tries to do around the home ends in disaster.

On the flip side, he probably surveys my meticulously pegged rows of tops, trousers, etc and wonders why on earth I bother!

It takes no more effort to do it properly.

Ajaslipstick is this you ????

Slut! Slattern! Bet she's indoors quaffing cider by the flagon and chainsmoking fags while watching Jeremy whathisname, the shouty one, while her dirty unwashed kids with filled nappies lunch on cheesy whatsits.
Oh yes, I know the sort.

😂😂😂😂😂

On another topeg. Am I a saddo for liking to get my washing hung out to dry on a windy day? My neighbour who sends hers out to get washed and ironed says ‘I’m easily pleased’ 😬😬😬
