To torch the neighbours washing (light hearted)

[T1M2N3T4]

New neighbours moved in on Saturday and on Sunday they put their washing out on the line. All good.
Except it's still there now!
It's been sunny, raining, frosty, raining and now its sunny again.
The feckers managed to put the bin out on the right day and take it back again.
Honestly if I hadn't heard the feckers kids running around I would be concerned they were dead.
WIBU to torch it all or shove an Argos catalogue through the door with a book mark on the tumble dryer page at least.

Thanks @GummyGoddess - I have a lot of vests to try this with!!

Ever since I started doing it I've had the most sparkly bright whites. It's oddly satisfying.

sorry but why do you care about their washing? am i missing something?

Maybe it’s decorative washing. A garden feature, if you will.

I'm about to leave bath mats on my washing line for the weekend. Mainly because I have no space indoors to dry them (Clothes horse full) and I'm running an experiment to see if the teenagers will notice and bring them in ;)

One of my neighbors hung a hand towel from an upstairs window and it fell down. It was well within reach from the window, but it stayed on their roof for over a year. Not that I was obsessively watching it or anything, but I was totally obsessively watching it.

@kelper. In my experience teenagers never notice these things, a bit like they don’t notice the empty dishwasher just waiting for them to put their cereal bowl in or that the cats water bowl is empty.

I don’t understand - why would it need washing again? Surely in changeable weather you just leave things out until they dry?

@Coastalcommand I wash again because the only things I leave out that long are my toddlers clothes (he is filthy! A little dirt magnet no matter how many times he's bathed). If they were mine I probably wouldn't care!

My neighbour put washing out in june/july and its still there

Only one thing but still its like 7/8 months

Be grateful that it's just washing and not bloody wind chimes!

My PiTA neighbour had two pieces of washing out the entire time she lived here. Nearly a year. It became a bit of a game amongst the rest of us as to what the aim was - she would other washing out & take it in, but never these two pieces.
She moved last week & left the mysterious washing on the line. Safe to say a neighbour promptly binned it 😂

That's very odd behaviour I must say. Perhaps it's an interesting tye dye technique... I wonder what clothes they're actually wearing? And in winter as well, what's the point? Very suspicious. I'd be minded to ask them to take it down or I'll report them to neighbourhood watch.

Sun bleaching works inside too, if you can get a clothes horse in front of the window.

Just a piece of information re sun bleaching stuff- if you get lily pollen on anything, don't for Christ sake wash it, get as much off with sticky tape and then put out in the sun. Worked a treat on a cream cardi one of the kids borrowed from the other without asking and then leant on my flowers!

My old NDN’s used to leave washing out for months and months. They had a massive bull mastiff that used to use the back garden as a toilet (because the lazy fuckers wouldn’t walk it), so the washing used to end up covered in dog shit, bird shit, rained on, darked on, it was fucking minging!

I was over the moon when the pair of clatty tramps were evicted!
