Would you look at the state of it.

My DH would not like that. He hangs his own in pairs. I dont even pair mine in the drawers. 🤣

I’m glad I don’t live next door to you. No standards.

Elmo230885 · 09/05/2020 11:32

You animal!

Kpo58 · 09/05/2020 11:33

How do you not have a IKEA Socktopus?! 😱

JemimaPuddleCat · 09/05/2020 11:33

Oh my good God.

I suppose at least the pegs match!

FourPlasticRings · 09/05/2020 11:33

What's wrong with that?

Clearly have even fewer standards than the OP

LongPauseNoReply · 09/05/2020 11:34

What is happening to society Sad

Thisismytimetoshine · 09/05/2020 11:34

Peg them by the fecking toe!! I know they dry anyway, but it's just wrong!

My neighbours (well next door but one) are listening to doof-doof-doof music slightly too loudly. I might have done it in their view in the hope they would get the message and go inside.

This kind of heathen behaviour is why I only or a black socks

Absolutely! You don’t want peg marks showing at the top of a sock.

I feel faint!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 09/05/2020 11:37

I think this is a stealth boast.
Nice socks, them.
(I have hoarding issues around socks and I love a stripey oneGrin)

lucysmam · 09/05/2020 11:38

@FlamingoAndJohn my neighbour is also playing very loud doof doof doof music...out the front. I wonder if I should peg my washing out there, in similar fashion, in the hopes it scares him inside Grin

ginandcv · 09/05/2020 11:38

We're in lockdown ffs. How could you? Angry

applespearsbears · 09/05/2020 11:38

That's it, society has fallen. I love your socks!

TitianaTitsling · 09/05/2020 11:39

Ignoring your hedonistic sock hanging... I like your ivy!!

TheMandalorian · 09/05/2020 11:39

It's a bit warm for sock wearing.
I'm horrified by the unchecked ivy.
Meh about your pegging skills.

FlamingoAndJohn · 09/05/2020 11:40

The ivy worries you. You would see the rest of the garden!

I don't see the problem (am clearly a fellow heathen!)

WorraLiberty · 09/05/2020 11:42

My neighbours (well next door but one) are listening to doof-doof-doof music slightly too loudly.

They're listening to the Eastenders theme tune? Shock

As for the sock crisis, that's Broken Britain right there Sad

FlamingoAndJohn · 09/05/2020 11:42

I do feel that the Venn diagram of people who play doof doof doof music and the people who are upset by sock pegging is just two circle.

Another vote for the IKEA socktopus!

Thighmageddon · 09/05/2020 11:44

What kind of a monster pegs socks like this!

Socks should be pegged out as follows:

  1. in pairs. 2)all placed on the line in the same direction ditto pants
  2. matching pegs should be used.

I can't believe some mumsnetters don't know the washing line rules, just appalling.

ginandcv · 09/05/2020 11:45

I will say that last night DH said he'd get the washing in so it wouldn't get darked on.

Not all heroes wear capes.

JaneJeffer · 09/05/2020 11:45

I have a whirly thing but I hate sorting socks.
