in drying my underwear in my back garden?

[LifeIsButtercream]

The sun finally came out! So I stuck some washing out on the rotary drier to dry, including some plain black Evans M&S knickers (nothing racy!)

Later a note popped through the door (didn't see who left it) and it read:

"Please do not dry underwear in the garden, it's not very nice to have to look at"

I was a bit

To clarify, my garden is has 6ft fences, and to see into it someone would have to be looking out of the top back windows of their house, and then at an angle (hard to explain, but basically it's not in view from other gardens - unless they are climbing the fence - or in view from anyone's lounge/downstairs rooms).

And I try to be discrete! I put pants on the 'inner' rows of the drier so they aren't spinning their crusty gussets around on the outside in full view of anyone who might be looking, and I usually put them sandwiched between other items.

AIBU?

Ha ha! I only stopped hanging mine out when a pupil from my school (secondary) moved in next door. We have a low wall separating us and didn't think it was fair on.either of us!

Next time you hang out your knickers, fashion them into letters spelling fuck off along the line.

PMSL...this happened to a colleague at work, however the neighbour spoke to her in person and said hanging out her underwear was not acceptable. It was a new house and they only had a tree foot fence between them, which was my colleagues fence. She continued to hang out her washing and returned from work one day to find that the neighbour has erected a 7 ft fence on her side on the 3 ft fence.......must have more money than sense lol

Clearly you're not my neighbour then. She's text me at work before, to tell me she's hung her washing on my line, as she's run out of space on hers!

I then had to call DH to give him the disappointing news that I hadn't had a boob job in my lunch hour. She's got to be a DD cup and I'm pushing a B cup!

Some folk really do take the

This would spur me into hunting out all of my frillies and pegging them out tonight, starting on the outside lines of the rotary drier, so that a full display is on parade from first light.

And they wouldn't be coming in again until after the sun's gone down tomorrow.

Hahaha! Really? Does your neighbour not understand what washing lines are for?

Just some brief words from me - what a silly thong to do. It's blooming disgusseting. Don't let this drop - they've got scanty regard for your feelings. on your behalf.

Oh, but why would your gussets be crusty if they have just been washed?

You must get a pair of pants with a strap-on attached and just leave it out there for weeks.

Some people are bonkers.

I know some older people think it's uncouth to hang out underwear, my 92 year old neighbour doesn't hang his out (but then he wears a kilt at all times so maybe he doesn't wear any!). I sometimes dry my undies on the hedge if I am running short of pegs, wonder what your neighbour would think of that!

I have told this tale before on here

When I first married up I moved on to my DHs family farm and lived with his extended family, we did have are own private quarters consisting of 2 rooms but we all mucked in.

Anyway one day DMIL and she was a dear being very good to me over the years went light at poor little B why because I had hung my nightie next to bachelor BILs pyjamas and it might of given the poor lad THOUGHTS!

Genius work from ViolaTricolor there. Please send that letter!

My mil hangs out 7 pairs of ginormous, identical, bright white 'Sloggi' knickers every week.

IABVU but it makes me cringe! Have no idea why.

Having said that, am amazed at OPs neighbour! Ridiculous! If I were OP I'd hang out all my knickers for a month.

If it had been a dildo collection I could see the point
But normal underwear

Of course they obviously never wear any

PergolaLola that is seriously weird, not to mention it would count as stealing for them to remove anything from your line. Was the husband the local knicker nicker?

Or maybe you neighbour dont wash theirs

What a cheek. It's on your property. I tend to hang knickers inside on rotary and put something on the outside to cover them from view. My DH just puts the bras and knickers out any old how.

take no notice.

Hahahahahahahaha...........this is brilliant. Can't believe someone sent a note like that. Hilarious

lol - what nosey neighbours!
Reminds me of the time when DS1 was newborn, and I was sitting on my bed upstairs, breastfeeding him - looked out the window- shocked - there was my next door neighbour up a tree looking in He gave a cheery wave! He then waved a kind of coathanger televison aerial-looking thing , presumably to show the reason he was there - Have never seen it befoer ir since in that tree....

All my neighbours have to walk past my washing to get to their houses... and I do feel a bit funny about hanging my knickers on the line, but it's a rotary and I put them on the inside and other stuff around them as I figure no-one really wants to see my undies!! BUT it doesn't stop me hanging them out .... your neighbour is BARKING.

I like the note - you should do it!!

That same one, when we told them I was pg with Ds1, he said - 'Oh - heard you barfing in the downstairs loo - and thought 'that Mrs G's been on the lagers''

Very odd! I used to hang all our underwear out on a rotary airer, often put them on the inner lines but not all the time

My mum lives at the end of a row of houses and as you walk past you can see her HUGE granny pants and my step dads y-fronts blowing in the breeze

I would keep doing it and see if anyone has the guts to admit it is them complaining!

Oh god I must because freak I don't dry our undies on the line (use an indoor aired) and hate it when the woman next door dies as she has her washing line so close to the fence and my patio door I live in fear of getting a face full of her gussets. And believe you me you wouldn't wish a face full of her gussets on your worst enemy.
