to ask my neighbour why in the hell they are constantly drying black bin bags

My next door neighbours constantly have black bin bags on their washing line. Not in their main garden but in the side return, right next to our house. Our kitchens look into the other but we have a fence up which just about blocks us from seeing each other. However day and night for the past 2-3 months they have had black bin bags on their washing line. I wouldn't give a crap about what people have on their washing line ordinarily but it makes a right din, especially in the wind we have had recently. DS13's bedroom is at that end of the house and says he can hear them rustling really loudly all night long (which I know sounds ridiculous but they must have 4-5 bin bags rustling away at any one time).
These bin bags keep blowing up in the air too and our dogs are losing the plot about it, they don't usually bark much but 15ft glossy black apparitions springing up is sending them mad.

Every morning, when I'm in the office (we have an office annex in the garden so can see directly up their garden without effort) I can see her taking bags off the line and replacing them with new bags.

Come on, what am I missing here? Have a missed a bizarre trend? They are bizarre people as it is but I can't figure out wtf is going on here.

Have you found out yet OP?

Don't Google sploshing if you're half way through dinner either.

The mental imagery doesn't combine well with a mouthful of pasta salad. Take it from one who knows.

toffee what kind of sex thing?? My mind is not that dirty 😂

GriseldaChop · 15/05/2017 18:37

Is it still not Tuesday?!!

Maisy84 · 15/05/2017 18:37

Are there and holes cut in them? And do they have an attic?

jocarter67 · 15/05/2017 18:46

If they have young children maybe the put them on the beds for bed wetting if that's it, it must be bloody uncomfortable

Placemarking Biscuit Brew

QuintessentialShadow · 15/05/2017 19:05

They are probably into golden showers.

WankingMonkey · 15/05/2017 19:14

Everyone else seems to have such weird neighbours. I kind of wish mine were odd so I could post about them. Worst/strangest thing my neighbour ever did was she went through a stage of throwing cat/dog poo into our yard then calling the council about the mess Hmm

pizzaeatingmonkey · 15/05/2017 19:15

Why, oh why do people placemark? Just BOOKMARK where you are in the thread and then WATCH the thread.

MoonDuke · 15/05/2017 19:18

If it's a barrier to stop neighbors seeing in then why change them?

Very intriguing

SmileEachDay · 15/05/2017 19:25

she wearing gloves? I reckon drug dealers washing their fingerprints and DNA off before wrapping and distributing the stash. That way if police find the drugs they can't be incriminated

Fuck me, the dealers round your way must do big portions...

readyforno2 · 15/05/2017 19:26

I've just read the whole thing. I NEED to know.
Grin at the darked on comments

bemusedmoose · 15/05/2017 19:37

Do they have a child? May be it is them that need house training?? Adult incontinence? If Morrison's delivery are posh to them, maybe so are waterproof bed protectors? Easily need 4 on a double bed, rinse and reuse... Actually that's pretty feasible!

Norfolkgirl1 · 15/05/2017 19:41

My first guess was marijuana growing. Weed or wee - one of the two!

Jane2406 · 15/05/2017 19:42

Maybe the bin instructions came with the washing line by mistake.....

TressiliansStone · 15/05/2017 19:42

Well.

I've just cleaned out the cupboard under my sink and discovered the reason it wouldn't close was it was full, FULL of clean, used black bin bags.

BossyBitch · 15/05/2017 19:48

OP please report back. I want to know bu also, more importantly, NEED to know (and will be dreadfully disappointed when, inevitably, it turns out to be not nefarious at all).

Also, I've googled sploshing. Thanks, internet. What s horrible waste of perfectly good cake!

SnickersWasAHorse · 15/05/2017 19:50

Why, oh why do people placemark? Just BOOKMARK where you are in the thread and then WATCH the thread.

Because then it shows up in my TIO. I forget to look at watching.

AmserGwin · 15/05/2017 19:52

Blatant place mark

mammyoftwo · 15/05/2017 20:01

how do you/what is bookmark a thread, and where do you watch threads?

ExplodedCloud · 15/05/2017 20:04

I can't bookmark on my phone Grin

75daisies · 15/05/2017 20:15

Massive bookmark 😂

75daisies · 15/05/2017 20:15

Or even placemark 🙄

Tapandgo · 15/05/2017 20:21

Weird but keen to know the answer
