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.

You have at least 13 kids and the only thing keeping your son awake is bin bags?

Please tell me your secrets!

Some people use bin bags over their clothes when they work out to help them sweat more. My niece does this. Her dad get pissed of with her using a bin bag and throwing it out later (cut a hole in the bottom for your head and then arm holes), so he just hung the one she wore on the washing line.

Either that or it was a teatowel that got darked on

Shit that's his age isn't it?

The darked on comments have me in stitches. I need to know why they are doing this. If they are reusing binbags their bin must fooking stink

Signalling aliens in to land.

Weird that they use 4-5 of them, hang them out and then replace with another 4-5.

Do they have 4-5 bed wetters? 4-5 large kitchen bins? Do they only like to scare cats with freshly washed bin bags?

Is she maybe a hairdresser who has clients come to her house and needs to lay bag down to catch hair and product spills? Each time she brings them in she has had another client and has more to put out? Hmmm

You have 13 kids ?! - shit me - I wouldn't even notice what next door were doing if I had 13 kids !

(Or is that his age ??)

Op...waiting for tuesday when you do come back to tell us!! Bird or cat scarer my vote!

livia Alright pet, step down eh?

The way that was phrased gave me a warm glow

at me stepping down - I'm not the one who is so nosey concerned about someone doing something unusual in their own garden that I started a thread on the internet to ask for ideas

Darked on bedding

I love this place.

Do they have a greenhouse? Maybe something relating to gardening?

Christ no I don't have 13 kids. My eldest is 13.
I have loved your replies, you have really tickled me.

I don't think she replaces all 4-5 each time but to be honest I haven't studied her actions enough to notice. She just happens to be doing it when I'm sorting stuff out in the office for the start of the day.

Livia you know I'm joking with the step down right?
I don't care I'm just baffled and wondered if I had missed anything.

Actually I do care about my DS moaning though.

It's what they wear for kinky play?

No - I didn't know you were joking - how would I without any tone conveyed?

Well I apologise.

We can't possibly wait until Tuesday, step up OP!

That is so weird. Maybe one of them pisses the bed and they have bags under their sheet and reuse? Only thing I could think of!

I spoke to Dh about this and it led to him ranting about the "piss poor quality" of refuse sacks nowadays.

His theory is they're the old kind that don't degrade and are thick and they wash them up to maintain their lovely thickness....,

Or he said they could regularly make slip n slides through their house with them.

If it's the second one #lifegoals

This is my first ever placemark....I am overly-invested!

Unashamed place-mark. Mind boggled at why?

Darked on

bring on tuesday!
