To leave my pegs on the washing line?

[QueenOfTheMadhouse]

Am i being unreasonable to do this? I have noticed over recent weeks a distinct lack of pegs on my neighbours washing lines.

Does everybody else take their pegs down between uses? It has never crossed my minds to do this but I am thinking I may be in the minority going by recent evidence. Am I a slattern? Are my neighbours talking amongst themselves about my slovenly ways?

Pegs - always come in inside the peg bag
Line - always covered to stop it getting dirty.

Anything else is just wrong

Muji pegs are definitely the best, they never break or rust, they look rather chic and they don't look obviously "clothes-peggy" so when you use them to close opened packets of pasta/cat food they don't look so slobby.

Mine live in a hideous but practical green plastic peg bag that matches the rotary line cover (which only gets used during the winter).

Bring them in.
Also do not leave hanging baskets up past the summer months when the flowers have clearly died.

Wooden ones are used in the house, plastic ones stay on the line.

I had a peg basket, but it blew off the line scattering it's contents everywhere.

Own a peg bag and always bring them in

Own a rotary cover but CBA to ever collapse the rotary and put cover on

They go rusty if left out, leave marks on clothes. I leave them out during dry spells, not if wet.
Cannot bear the snoobery.

My peg bag is properly retro - bought at a church fete years ago. It's hideously flowery and has a tiny wooden hanger in it to give it shape and so it can hang on the line. Is properly Woman's Weekly

When I moved here I didn't realise there was peg etiquette (have always had a tumble dryer) so I left them on the line. However, I quickly noticed that spiders were making tiny webs between them so I quit that habit.

I don't bring the pegs indoors, though; they live in a small plant pot outside.

I got called 'posh' for bringing my pegs in at night; everyone around here leaves them on the line.

We change our hanging basket foliage to make autumn/winter baskets, Luna.

I wipe the line periodically, it's always dirty so obviously needs to be done, and always bring the pegs in (twee Cath Kidston peg bag).

If they have metal springs, the metal will get rusty and mark your nice clean clothes. So yes. You need to bring them in.

We have spring/summer and autumn/winter hanging baskets too. No sad dying plants chez BsshBossh.

I have a retractable washing line as it is a small area outside where I do my drying. I store pegs in a cute peg bag indoors but only because having specific containers for things keeps me amused!

I wouldn't look down on somebody else for leaving their pegs outside, my Mum does it.

Pegs left on line - tick
Clothes left overnight -tick
Non wiping of line before use -tick
Non matching of pegs to clothes -tick

Can I now go one step further - maybe too far even for fellow slatterns?

I dont leave spaces between clothes the on the line. I peg continuously /-/-/-/-/-/ rather than /-/ /-/ /-/

I do this even with big items such as bath towels.

I have no problem with winter hanging baskets, just those with dead flowers in left over the winter months.

I know why you bring your pegs in.

It's so you don't have to get them at 11pm in the dark to put things on the clothes horse!
