to not stop hanging my bras on the line

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!

Oh and yeah, keep hanging them out. If she says anything else suggest to her that if he/she finds your bras so distracting maybe they should stop looking.
Then give her a 6 pack of creme eggs Grin

OP you have just got to do some of the suggestions. I have some old 36dd's if you want a bird feeder, hanging basket etc or get this

That's just nuts. Please stop hanging out bras and instead one day a week hang out random kitchen implements, teaspoons would be good. Then claim it was an invite to tea and you are offended they didn't come over. Grin

You can line the cups with dog hair and use them for birds to nest.

Great tits!

I once represented a rather unfortunate gentleman who had reason to go into Ann Summers - for work, not pleasure - and while he was there he became so distracted that he lost all control of his nether regions and something rather unexpected happened.

Maybe it was the OP's neighbour's husband.

Patsyandeddie · 19/03/2015 18:38

Go and buy some really tacky underwear, crotchless knickers, a bit of red and black nylon, etc - that should wind her old man up a treat!

keepsmiling2015 · 19/03/2015 18:39

Are you sure she wasn't joking? If she wasn't them it's her tough luck. She must be very insecure!

Tunna · 19/03/2015 18:45

[kungfu] that's both Shock and Grin

Was he in court at the behest of Ann Summers or suing his workplace for the unfortunate circumstances that happened as a result of their instructions?

You know you could choose to sunbath topless, she should count her blessings.

knackered69 · 19/03/2015 18:55

Am so sorry - have had a crap day -but this thread has really made me pmsl! Grin

HaveTeaWillSurvive · 19/03/2015 18:57

Literally crying at 'the elastic band wrapped around a marshmallow look' - toomuch you are a woman after my own heart Grin

Tunna · 19/03/2015 19:08

I've missed the creme egg thread, can someone enlighten me?

Springtulip · 19/03/2015 19:16

This is the funniest thread I've read all day. her husband found them distracting oh my oh my!!!Grin

ScotsWhaHae · 19/03/2015 19:22

I hang them by one end and in amongst everything else, it's not like they are the only thing on the line demanding all the attention!

I've been intervened, I was a 38 dd but wearing a 34f now which give me amazing norkage. And giant bras!

Dh isn't very amused. Seems he's quite defensive of my boobs.

Neighbour man came home at 6 just after I'd brought the washing in.

I think I might peg put an old bra and leave it there for weeks.

Distracting.

buy a flag pole and hoist one up there!

Bras would make lovely hammocks for garden gnomes, squirrels and visiting cats.

Suspend some between two trees in a sunny corner so that they can use them.

savickowl · 19/03/2015 19:35

yes bra bunting with each of these replies typed on each bra and draped over their car/front garden evergreen tree

Missrubyring · 19/03/2015 19:38

Get a bra that actually looks like a pair of breasts?? Just to push it a little lol.

TiggyD · 19/03/2015 19:41

Tell her they're your husband's.

greathat · 19/03/2015 20:02

carry on hanging them out. If she says anything reply "What you were really serious?"

PeaceOfWildThings · 19/03/2015 20:05

Tiggy! Grin

PeaceOfWildThings · 19/03/2015 20:11

Tunna I think it was someone having problems with a rude neighbour or parent of a friend of DC (sorry, bit hazy on the details). Some wise Mumsnetter shared that in her experience, if the OP gave the rude person creme eggs, they would cease to be rude. Problem solved.

Madamecastafiore · 19/03/2015 20:13

Oooohhh I'd be off buying the filthiest underwear I could find and intersperse it with stockings.
