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

[KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth]

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.

firstly, i have definitely had bin bags on my line before. DP is a sportsman and often used to train in them daily so would air off rather than go through a bag a day. Could they be doing an extreme diet lol?

secondly i left my washing out overnight for the first time to see what would happen when it was darked on as id read a thread on here about things being darked on and was too embarassed to ask what it meant. FYI - the washing was fine

Dunno really, buzz, was hoping you'd tell me!

(clutches pearls a bit tighter)

I'm super invested in this now
Perhaps they are Alien Goth Dementor invaders who enjoy getting darked on whilst sploshing?

Hoping OP asks the weird neighbour tomorrow!

Another theory I have is to scare away rats at night from dog food, is there a prize for the closest guess?

I think they're giant vampire bats and they peg them out at night to stop them eating the family

Blatant place-marking

Gingerbreadmam - what sport is that?!

Placemark placemark placemark

Just to annoy posters who don't like it

I think it's easy to placemark as it comes up on your threads "I'm on" doesn't it.

mma he did. its a quick way to drop weight.

Ps, I'm not placemarking btw, I've already commented before the previous

Blatant place mark

somebody must do some benchmarking. Just to have it covered.

Seriously have to know wtf this is all about 🤔 weird weird weird 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I sometimes hang black bags to air, my daughter runs with them on.
Im with the other poster that suggested op's neibours are working out/dieting.
Either that or trying to piss u off

sorry just another placemark as this is freaky weird!

Not read it all, jumped to the end hoping you'd asked them and come back and told us.

What happens if they really are doing something nefarious and OP becomes collateral damage to keep the secret?

If OP doesn't post by a certain time tomorrow we will have to send the MN mafia to check on her.

I wonder if you live next door to the poor lady who shops at my local Waitrose. She wears rubber gloves to do her shopping and wears a pair of cut off wellies. Before she enters the shop a member of staff hands her a large wad of unused plastic shopping bags, must cost her a fortune nowadays. She puts one on each foot then into her wellies and then one on her head like a mop cap. She then does her shopping placing each item into not one but three bags without touching the item, think picking up dog poo in a nappy bag. When finished she then does the same again before putting them into her car, god only knows what she does when she returns home.
She also has personal hygiene issues so obviously has problems with the water supply.
I would imagine she would wash bin bags before using them!

I really really want it to be something sordid

But it probably won't be.

I need to know!!!

what time tomorrow will there be an update OP?!!!

I think the bags are to keep the dog company. Poor dog.

Agree with previous poster.. If morrisons is posh, then mattress protectors are upper class. They sound like pee the beds.

I have a house I can see out my window, that hangs a duvet out of the Window every day. Like from the top window it hangs down and touches the top of the downstairs window. Never has a cover on.
I assume its to air the duvet.. But the wall cant be that clean outside.. Not to mention bugs and spider webs.

The black bags could also be to stop you seeing in their window..

Sets alarm for Tuesday
