to think I do not have a communal washing line

[helpconfused]

So I came back from the food shop on Monday lunchtime and looked out of the patio doors to see a pair of boxer shorts, mens jogging bottoms and a shirt on my line in my back garden mixed in with my towels and bedding that I had earlier put out!
I stood for a while pondering (actually wondering WTF was going on!)
then went to the car to unload the shopping. My NDN came out (miserable B) and said 'Why aren't you at work'. I replied saying I don't work Mondays, he said 'Oh I thought you were when you went out early this morning'. Then the penny dropped. I asked if it was his washing on my line, he said it was and he had jumped over the wall to hang it up, could I check it was dry and if not 'redress it' (he means peg it up properly upon questioning). I was gobsmacked.
When I told him I had a higher fence and side gate being put up in a few weeks he wasn't very pleased. I wonder how long he has been using my bloody line??!!

Hope you're not leaving your undies out there.

He wants you to feel his boxers and then re-peg them onto the line? Do you have a retractable or permanent line?

Throw them into the mud?

Did you tell him not to trespass?

Now THAT is funny
Made me laugh
Hope it gets sorted

Just. Wow.

CF.
remove it now, return it to him and say very clearly. Do not use my washing line again, whether I am in or at work.
And do not jump over the fence into my garden, it is MY garden and I don't want you in it unless you are invited.
I might comment that in addition to your new higher fence, you obviously need to get CCTV fitted

If I was feeling mean, I might make sure it was quite wet when I returned it.

Best CF thread ever....the audacity of some people is unreal. Unpeg and chuck back over fence !

On the day you have your new fences fitted, drop one of these through his door with a short note saying that you have installed high fences so that you do not have to see or speak to him again, and that if he enters your property you will be pursuing him for trespass.

Why weren't you at work? You've only yourself to blame. Now be a dear and redress his boxers.

Cheeky devil!😅

Just WHY?

Surely its not hard to hang/tie one bit of washing line to two sides. It has to be easier than climbing a fence.

Did u tell him to take them off your line? Wtf.

blimey! he will be asking you to iron them next too!

I wish I had half the chutzpah of these cheeky fuckers!

The irony of these things is that if he had knocked on your door, chocolates/wine in hand and said, when you are at work, please may I use your washing line, then you may have allowed it.

So many times I read about people being cheeky and think, why did you just not ask? Sometimes the person will say yes (not all the times, many are just outrageous). I

Wow! Do you have a sprinkler?!

Chuck them back over his fence - cheeky git

Well, I just didn't know what to say to be honest! I felt like I was in a twilight zone.
I went back out there about 20 mins later and his stuff was gone!

What really peed me off when I thought about it after is that he won't take parcels in for me, sometimes chats, othertimes just grunts at you.
Made me move my black bin the other week as a fly went into his kitchen and it might have come from my bin (which had the lid shut).

He has a super duper new lawn mower and last year had offered to cut the front grass. This year I have had a lot going on and haven't got around to doing it and now its up well past my knees. I asked him if he had time could he go over my front lawn, he said 'No, do it yourself'. I've managed to keep on top of the back...wish I hadn't now, he might not have found the bloody line!

could I check it was dry and if not 'redress it' (he means peg it up properly upon questioning)

CF-ery at it's best!!

Wait until they're dry and put them on.

Strut up and down the street in your new outfit.

I'm laughing out loud at this, it keeps getting better!

"Why aren't you at work?"

"When I told him I had a higher fence and side gate being put up in a few weeks he wasn't very pleased"

"a fly went into his kitchen and it might have come from my bin"

Obscene cheeky fuckery!

Wow op. Definitely tell him that if he goes into your garden you will get him done for trespassing and if anything is broken criminal damage.

Cheeky git!
