My washing line annoying neighbour

[Afrodizzyak]

We have a new neighbour who has complained to me about my laundry hanging on the line ruining her view. It's just run of the mill laundry, no crutchless knickers or bondage gear, so not offensive. At first I ignored her, but she later told me she had photographed it and would complain to council.
I'm not the only neighbour she has complained to, another about his whistling, which is piercing her ears, having sensitive hearing and she asked another neighbour to keep his windows and doors closed whilst cooking as it made her nauseous.
It's not just humans she intolerant of, if a bird is singing, she will start growling to scare it away.
Before she moved here, we all just dodged along fine.
Is there any law against hanging washing? I'm not tumble drying our family's wash when not necessary.

Author asked if they could oil their back door as it sounds like a cat screaming and interrupting her sleep. If she doesn't get enough rest it could stop her ovulating.

This is hilarious and weird at the same time!

She obviously has serious MH issues. I hope she’s not planning on having children anytime soon as they’ll be a lot noisier than a creaking door.

Does she have a partner?

Re update: holy moly!

@Wonderfulyou
Yes, she has a partner.

Hilarious- great bonding experience for you and your neighbours!

On a serious note, I do hope it's general batshittery and not genuine mh issues

Mrs Les Dawson (LD was a 1970s successful comedian) was thrilled to move to a large, detached house when LD began to earn decent money from his tv career taking off. Did a load of washing and pegged it out. Alarmed neighbour, 'we don't hang washing outside here'. Mrs D strung as many washing lines as she could in her garden and hung up every piece of fabric she could find, from knickers to curtains. Good for her, a woman after my own heart.

She's a loon. I'm sure the council will file her complaint straight in the bin.
I would get some really tacky Ann Summers-style smalls and hang them out.

And I want to see the cat letter

Wow. And I thought my neighbour was nuts for moaning about something I left on my driveway for a few days. And then for asking me to vacuum her car.

My nana always used a prop, its not that high!

Line dried washing is lovely. I'm very jealous, there's no space for a line in my garden. Its also a 100% normal sight in a British garden.

Just laugh in her face the next time she complains.

I suggest you start buying all the red, white and blue knickers you can and make them into bunting for the Queen's Jubilee in June.

She sounds utterly bonkers.

Too many of that sort around.You have my deepest sympathies.

Sounds like she has mental health issues

Ohh please post this on Next door!

Tell them to F* off, you can do what you in your garden, those were the words of a police officer I had round regarding my neighbour.

She is obviously in a bad way. Ignore her

I’d love to ignore someone like this but I’d be upping the stakes

Did you ever develop a love of wind chimes?

@TigerLilyTail

To those who are confused.

Basically, you hang your washing on the line and then you have a long pole with a slit or fork in the top which you catch the line on and then stick it in the ground. This lifts your washing line up higher to help it catch the breeze and dry quicker. This is what the OP is using. It's called a prop. You then remove the pole to lower the line when you take your washing in.

I can't believe that people need line professional explaining to them!! But I guess I'm old and predate whirlygig washing lines!!

Line PROPS darn you Autocorrect

What are you spoiling the view of? There is no rule that says you must ot do anything to spoil you neighbours view of your garden. Lol.
🦇💩

This is hilarious! :-) So are the replies on here.

I must admit I was “that” neighbour once, but that’s because my next door neighbours got a loft conversion done during lockdown and I was trying to write my nursing dissertation. Almost failed my degree and I nearly had a mental breakdown from the noise alone. The council were probably more concerned about my mental state than what my neighbours were doing, which was technically nothing wrong. I’m a bit embarrassed about it now.

I like birds and the smell of fresh washing though. “If she doesn’t like the view, tell her to look in a different direction” Brilliant.

I get a bit fed up with my neighbour hanging his "washing" out to be honest. He hangs it over the railings round his front yard (victoriana terraces), including his pants, and it's absolutely filthy. Wet, but filthy.

I want to know what view your washing us blocking. It must be amazing!

" If she doesn't get enough rest it could stop her ovulating."

Carry on squeaking.

Elvis Presley, who was born to a dirt-poor family in a 'shotgun' house, bought his mother a house when he made it big. Mrs P did not behave in a way the new neighbours though suitable including, I believe, putting the washing out, so Elvis bought Graceland. In the middle of nowhere.

Roaring with laughter!😂

Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...

🤦‍♀️

She sounds like the living breathing embodiment of my menopause symptoms. Any noise or smell or flappy washing line sends me batshit. She’s wrong, obvs.
