How do you hang your washing out?

My ndn messaged me earlier to say she had seen me peg my washing out, and she'd never seen it done like that before! Now, ignoring the fact that she's weird for watching/messaging me, is my method not normal?

So I will go along the line with the peg basket, and peg them on a foot or so apart. I'll then grab a load of washing, and chuck an item in each gap between the pegs. Finally, I'll peg them all properly. I feel this is the quickest way, and more importantly, means you only have to bend once or twice, rather than every item!

Am I the weird one?

I have a cross body peg bag and peg as I go. I use one peg for two items rather than 2 per item. The bending and straightening I count as bonus exercise!

I use hangers and only use pegs for towels and bedding.

Put all the clothes on my shoulder. And peg them up one by one. No bending.

Says more about me than I like but this is one of my favourite threads ever!

I can't visualise washing on your shoulder,do you carry it all outside like that, even "smalls,", without dropping them?.I have a fancy cover, zips over the rotary,stops any bird poo. We're up the top of a hill, fairly close to the sea,gulls, and windy. If guests are coming, it is out of the ground and a little cover goes over the hole, nice and neat.
