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.

I have no idea, but place marking as now I need to. Please ask them!

It's the pinning up new ones that got me....wtf!

What you need to do OP is go out in the garden when they are taking their bags in and say "do you find they dry well on the line? I dry mine indoors but might try them outside" they'll obviously think this is perfectly normal conversation and respond with how well they dry and add on something about how that's beneficial to the purpose they are used for. And voila! You have your answer

Baby Led weaning?

Ohh I'm intrigued

Blacking out cracks in their loft for growing illegal vegetation? Or covering the teeny germinating plants until they're ready for the light?

Do they use them as cheap black out linings for windows and have to dry them due to condensation?

Maybe they leave them out to get darked on on purpose....

Right I am going to ask them next time I see them which will probably be Tuesday morning.
I promise not to come back and not be like the woman with the Victorian chest.

I think the incontinence issue might be it.

I have no idea.....please ask them!!

They leave them out to get darked on as they're not black enough for their liking

I promise TO come back. 😂😂

Is 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.

Perhaps they keep body parts in them and let them defrost, hence the bag gets wet when it's emptied of contents to defrost for dinner

How big is their bloody bin?

It's a new garden feature? Perhaps they saw it on one of the interior design shows. Some of their ideas are totally barmy.

I'm absolutely fucking crying at this.

Especially all the darked on comments.

Intrigued!

Placemarking I hope they are dementors

I think either frugal or drugs. And nothing in between 😁

Last year it was life sized cut out cows, 10 years ago it was those giant metal butterflies, maybe binbag bunting is the new thing in garden design features.

What if the washing line is attached to a generator and the bin bags flapping about are like a diy wind farm powering their house?
