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.

What does "darked on" mean?

I think it's something that happens to laundry if you leave it out all night.

........ but only on mumsnet.

They bought a roll of refuse sacks but due to a printing error the label was missing the f and they taken the label literally?

What does "darked on" mean ... it's the unmentionable things that happens to laundry when left out overnight.

If they're filled with a bit of water and six pennies it's to keeps flies away according to google

Pmsl

lemon. Does it only work with six pennies?
Will a 5p and an iou work?

Maybe their washing machine broke and they are washing clothes in bags.... ?

So funny

How very dare you OP, those are my binbags and I'll ask you to stop judging me.

Funko if the iou is laminated and doesn't get water damaged jobs a good'un

They are being used as bed liners (kid/ grown up etc) wetting bed? Is surely only explanation!

I'm itching with anticipation for Tuesday to find out....but I have a horrible feeling deep down that it might be anticlimactic

I'll sorry if it turns out to be anti climatic! The are fairly weird people in general, so I am holding out hope.

Regarding their dog, I have reported it to RSPCA and they said because it had water and they allow it in the house every now and then that there wasn't anything they could do.

Is it Tuesday yet??

I'm also waiting with fascination for Tuesday.

Maybe their washing machine broke down and they are going to the launderette and hauling back clean but wet laundry in the bin bags? Then when they peg up the laundry they're also hanging up the damp bags to dry

This thread will be full by Tuesday with placemarkers like me people who want to know why your neighbour washes bin bags more often than they wash their bras

Are they elderly/ill?

Towards the end of my mum's life she wasn't continent, my dad would put her nightie bedding etc in a carrier bag and then put the entire bag in the washing machine, the action of the washer takes the clothes out of the bag so you end up with clean clothes and a clean but wet plastic bag.

I've commented on this thread before and read a lot of it but not all though, why are we having to wait until tomorrow?

Marijuana farm.

"Garbage Bag Couture" is an actual thing, I'm told.

OP's neighbour into austerity measures DIY Latex wear?

Placemarking and off to google 'darked on'

Could it be a bin bag scarecrow?
