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??!!

I'd be tempted to bin it, but I guess I can be a bit hotheaded if a cheeky fucker annoys me.

What an arse, and I thought my neighbour was weird - doesn't like the birds singing as they interrupt his peace and quiet. He set up one of those gas fired bird scarer things (the ones that go off with a colossal bang and are designed for farmers' fields) in his garden. At least he doesn't peg out his laundry on anyone else's washing line though.

On a par with coming home to finding my neighbour and her partner on my kids trampoline bouncing up and down picking pears from my tree! Oh you don't mind do you? It's not like you were eating them

So cheeky but I'd also be pretty pissed off about the coming into my garden. It's trespass. Taken together with all his other weirdness and pettiness, I'd make it crystal clear that he is not allowed into your garden anymore and I'd then withdraw. No favours like mowing the grass, no chats. He sounds odd and I'd leave him alone to get on with being odd by himself.

Wow...who hops over their neighbour's fence to hang up their own washing??? Weird AF.

Some random bloke's y-fronts is FAR worse than spiders' willies. OP you're going to have to bin that washing line!

Your neighbour sounds horrible, OP.

When I bought my house, there were three poles in the garden with a horrible old washing line on them. I took the line down because it looked a mess. I don't live in the house full-time, and the next time I went back, the washing line had been replaced. So obviously, the neighbours are using my garden to hang their washing in when I'm not there. I've no idea which neighbours do this. They've never slipped up and done it when I'm at home. I don't want a washing line in my garden, because I don't like the look of it, but I thought about it and concluded that if it makes someone happy, it's not really doing me any harm - and the neighbours are all very nice and cut my lawn for me, even when I'm there. I wouldn't put up with illegal line-use from nasty neighbours, though.

@SayCoolNowSayWhip 'Random fly'
I have one flying in a square formation (can 1 be a formation?) at the moment.
I've tried swotting it with a tea towel but I just miss and make the dog bark.
I want a random fly.

Just say 'thanks for the present', and then bin them.

I really want to know what happened to hottub CFs.

I have an open front garden next to a river and get people prancing past my lounge window to look at the view. Recently a neighbours dog did a poo on my front door mat. That kind of pushed me into buying a fence!

I dream of having a house and garden but then threads like this make me wonder if a block of flats and management company with a long list of rules is better....

Rub them in mud and tell him the fly did it.

Can you either
A) set up a sprinkler system so that his washing mysteriously never dries?
B) replace his boxers with exactly the same ones but in a junior size?

Love a good cheeky fucker thread! Eeeh god some people have no shame!

Lola your neighbours used your hot tub and you didn’t say anything because it would be awkward?

Just print out a still from the film and pop it through their door.

Unbelievable.

Lola I can’t believe you didn’t say anything!

It’s not awkward at all to say you have seen them and please don’t do it again. How did they fill it / power it? Is that all outside? They could break it - that would be far more awkward to deal with.

Frankie 😂😂
Both you and Amusedbush made me giggle.
Such a good thread and yes, it’s beyond CF but has made my evening..

Nothing really to add other than I have had a long crappy day and this thread has cheered me right up and made me laugh. Sorry OP 😬

I'm glad I could be of assistance!

Idve just binned them tbh. If I found a load of random washing on my line id just bin it

Ditto.

@Time40
You need to be careful with allowing washing to be hung. After a certain number of years, it can be added to the deeds. There was a thread on here some months ago about just this topic.

I’d have included a pic of the hot tub cf’s With a cease and desist letter

On the positive side, at least the NDN knocked claiming in washing, otherwise you may have been doubting yourself forever not knowing whether you had lost the plot.

Did he peg the clothes out with matching pegs or did he just use any old pegs? Does he mind if his clothes get darked on?
