to not stop hanging my bras on the line

[ScotsWhaHae]

I'm in shock.

Beautiful day here. Was hanging out my washing and having a chat with next door neighbour who was out in the garden with her dd.

I pegged out 2 of my bras among everything else. Conversation was drawing to an end so I made to go back inside when she said 'oh I've been meaning to mention your underwear'

She went on to ask me refrain from hanging out my bras, her husband found them 'distracting'. I sort of when 'eh um eh' and she said 'well, cheerio, nice chatting' leaving me in the garden, puzzled.

I am an f cup but surely my bras aren't distracting. Her husband isn't in during the day. Wtf? They are similar in age to me, early 30s. Always been civil in the last 3 years they've lived next door, friendly but nit in and out of each other's houses or anything.

They are just normal bras!

Definitely her with the problem. If you were feeling naughty you could mention it to him the next time you see him. Say something like "Your wife told me that you have a problem with my hanging out my underwear to dry, I am sorry that you feel like that but I have no where else to dry it" and see what happens!

I think the OP needs to take a first aid course before summer.

If he finds bras on the line a distraction he might need CPR if she ventured into the garden in a bikini top :-)

Is her husband Nigel Farage?

Just hang out a full line of bras. Nothing else, just bras.

how very dare you hang out your underwear on your own washing line...

I've been pondering this while on the school run and I really think there's something in this hypnotic theory. How are you hanging your bras? Are they hung by the straps or just by one side, hanging down?

Maybe they are swinging in the breeze and he is being mesmerised by them.

You should wait until you see him and sneak up and tell him he's a chicken laying an egg.

I hang a line full of bras out when I've hand washed them. Never had so much as a peep from the neighbours. But then, they can quite clearly see they are drip-drying, and no way am I doing that indoors.

Sorry but I couldn't help noticing your bras are from m &s.
its the mumsnet law now that on mention of a bra, the poster must state their measurements so that we can all sit back and watch an intervention unfold. Because if you are a (can't remember and will lose this is I go back to your op) say 34F from m & s then chances are you should be hanging out fabulous bravissimo 30H.
and I would PAY to see your perv neighbour cop a load of those

(Altogether now... measure under bust snugly., then lean forward and measure dangle boObs. Report measurements and wait for the bra ladies to come along

Tell her to buy him a puppy to keep his eyes off your puppy keepers, Seriously? Blow her a raspberry, hang your bras on the line, buy some fluro ones, bring all your friends over, wash everyones bras and have a line full of bras, make some margaritas, sangria and Tapas, have a bra drying party!! have a naughty Bra and Undies night & invite your neighbours, give them so many bras to look at that he will get bored and go back to the footy and she will be damn sorry she ever said anything, in all seriousness Ignore the silly woman.

I'm a G cup and far from finding my bras distracting, my DP finds them bloody hilarious. He puts one cup on his head like a yamaka

Your neighbour sounds hilariously petty and jealous, I definitely second several of the suggestions on this thread

Oh. I was going to suggest that you get your dp to have a chat with her about her fellas budgie smugglers and how distracted you are. :o

I would stop hanging bras but put up corsets, Stockings and g strings!

Bet her dh would be mortified she made him sound like a peeping tom knicker snatcher!

I've not read the full thread but if this isn't a wind-up, carry on hanging out your underwear when you want, where you want! It's your garden!

Is your neighbour flat chested?

Maybe its her? Maybe she's just jealous of your fantastic chest?!

This is so funny I think you need to knock in her door and ask: wtf? what exactly did you mean?!

I highly suspect he's not the problem in this equation.

If you have bunnies, hide them!

Please OP, please, please do this and hang them in full view. Please.
I would die laughing.

LOL

Juliene I went to Bravissimo and had precisely that treatment."OMG you are totally a 32G, what are you doing in a 36C?" No sorry, my ribcage might be a 32 but my fat back certainly isn't, and I'm not a fan of the elastic band wrapped around a marshmallow look, so I'll stick with my greying M&S 2 for 15 t-shirt bras Ta.

Does remind me of my lovely mum teaching me that you "always hang your unmentionables on the inside lines, dear, so the neighbours don't see them". I still do it out of habit. Actually I flat dry my bras so the 'elastic doesn't degrade in the sun or the dryer', but then I'm weird.

Maybe when summer rolls around you could host an ann summers party in your garden, and invite them both?

It sounds like her issue, not her husband's!! Bit of insecurity there!

I'd be tempted to speak to the husband to see what his response is. You could catch him when he gets home from work and be very apologetic " your wife had a chat with me today about my underwear hanging on the washing line. She mentioned that you find them distracting and I just wanted to say I'm so Sorry..."
I'd pay to see how that conversation panned out
