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

Just bring it in!?

I would politely tell you to get a grip and get a life.

You judge your neighbours based on whether they leave their washing out overnight & are too worried about what your neighbours think of you, to dare leave your own washing out overnight, even when more convenient.

Crikey I'm so glad I don't live in your head. What a load of judgey knickers nonsenseConfused

Wtf even is this thread? What's with all the vomit emojis OP, how could this possibly make you feel sick?

If washing out at night makes your neighbours think you were a tramp OR makes them feel sick then your biggest problem is having batshit crazy neighbours, tbh.

I think I'm that batshit neighbour 😆 I just couldn't do it, it just feels wrong

I'm so glad I finally understand the references to "darked on" 😂

Sparklesocks · 11/06/2021 12:09

Really? People judge their neighbours for leaving washing out? I don’t think I’d even notice and I’d just assume they haven’t got round to it yet. Either way it’s no skin off my bum so why would I care?

MrsRussell · 11/06/2021 12:10

I'm a goth. I put my washing out at dusk. (I don't go out in daylight.)

aSofaNearYou · 11/06/2021 12:11

@SmellThis I don't think the neighbour would be batshit to not want to do it themselves, but why would you go so far as to think your neighbour was a tramp, or feel physically sick? I just don't get it at all!

SmellThis · 11/06/2021 12:15

@aSofaNearYou , no idea 😃

Witchesbelazy · 11/06/2021 12:16

Focus on your own garden hyacinth

Are you sure you're a goth and not just a vampire?
Babymamaroon · 11/06/2021 12:28

You work 42 hours a week yet can't afford to outsource your laundry?

Someone needs to have a rethink about their boasting! Grin

Nowt wrong with overnight darked-on laundry.

Wheresmybiscuit3 · 11/06/2021 12:31

Not bothered what others do but it’s not for me. Spiders. Hate spiders.

MrsRussell · 11/06/2021 12:35

I'd not be on the drinking blood, @AlfonsoTheMango. You don't know where it's been, or who's been there before you.
Anyway, all my washing is BLACK.
There is not a shroud to be seen. Unless vampires don't wash their bedding? Dirty buggers....

I was going to say all my clothes are black so it doesn't really matter if it gets darked on, plus no one can steal it at night because it's camouflaged.

I’ve done it a couple of times in the past when I’ve genuinely just forgotten about it but it always needs rewashing because it gets damp again with morning dew and whatnot.

DH’s Grandad’s neighbours leave theirs out for days at a time, his Grandad loves telling us all about how ‘slovenly’ it is…

It doesn't need rewashing! Just left out long enough to dry!
sqirrelfriends · 11/06/2021 13:36

If it's still a bit damp and it's not due to rain then yes, I do leave it out.

MorriseysGladioli · 11/06/2021 14:28

I'm happy to smell of morning dew.
I've smelt of worse

Do spiders when have willies?!Confused Insect porn is a niche I'm happy to not explore!

Yerroblemom1923 · 11/06/2021 15:00

Even have willies, that should read. Wish there was an edit post option on here!

hedgehogger1 · 11/06/2021 15:01

I put mine out in the evening so it's dry when I get in from work the next day. I don't care about being darked on

Some spiders have detachable willies so they can run away halfway through before the female eats them

That's gotta be s tough decision..
One more second of sex, or run, but.lose your cock in the process.
