Is it just me that thinks it's absolutely vile to leave clean washing on the line over night? 🥺

Just bring it in!?

THREAD ALERT!!!!!

Spiders don't have willies.

So how do they jizz on the washing then, eh? eh?

HA.

bowchicawowwow · 10/06/2021 21:09

I used to leave mine out until I found a moth in the gusset of my undercrackers. That'll learn me.

*THREAD ALERT!!!!!

This is very true, but ruins the fun catchphrase! Spiders rubbing their pedipalps all over washing doesn't quite have the same pizazz Grin

Christ on a bike who has the time or inclination to worry about this ? 🙄

You post your "Hinch hauls" on Instagram, have a personalised zoflora basket, and an abundance of grey and crushed velvet furniture, don't you...

MrsKoala · 10/06/2021 21:12

My neighbours are more likely to judge me for the smashed up wardrobe and old bed base that's been on my drive for over a month. Last week I put the washing out on Thursday and brought it in on Sunday.

BillyIsMyBunny · 10/06/2021 21:13

Why don’t you start a thread on toilet brushes next?

Wrong. I post them on TikTok. FYI crushed velvet is not on teen anymore.

THE HORROR.

Ghosts will wipe their bums on it and it'll get moon mould.

And generally it will just smell of THE NIGHT-TIME... ShockShockShock
PinkiOcelot · 10/06/2021 21:14

I sometimes hang mine out on a night because I simply haven’t got time to hang it out on a morning.
Isn’t darked on something someone made up on MN?! Also couldn’t give a shit about spider willies.

Sideorderofchips · 10/06/2021 21:14

I'm vile then. Mines out there already

mathswall · 10/06/2021 21:14

🕷🍆

Shock and it'll get darked on

TaVeryMuchLove · 10/06/2021 21:15

Why do spiders only jizz on washing at night? If I was a spider, I’d be jizzing all over your pretentious day washing. All over it.

optimistic40 · 10/06/2021 21:15

I don't but only because of my arachnophobia. I don't even like hanging it out in the day for the same reason Grin

wildeverose · 10/06/2021 21:15

@Coolmum30
It was never on trend, it was tacky then and it's tacky now 🤷🏻‍♀️

LST · 10/06/2021 21:15

I've literally just finished pegging my second load out. I'll get it in once its dry tomorrow dinner.

So I’m guessing you leave your washing out overnight then.

I think the issue is not arachnid penes. It can be badger grime on longer items that reach the level of a badgers back. The solution is to send it to a laundry and reserve washing lines for shorter items.

You would be aware of bat urine affecting the laundry as high levels of iris acid would tarnish hooks and eyes or metal zippers.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 10/06/2021 21:17

Mine is being dusked in as I type. It will probably get darked on too.

I don't need any of it until mid morning so it will have been sunned on and be dry by then 😊

quitecontrary123 · 10/06/2021 21:17

Someone who refers to themselves as cool is never cool.

jetadore · 10/06/2021 21:17

This was funny the first few times but it’s getting a bit boring now.

With great power comes great responsibility.
