To let this lonely towel get darked on?

It's been sunny but vvv windy here today and the washing dried - all good - apart from this bastard towel that decided to wrap itself around the twirly and DiD NOT DRY.
So what I want to know should I bring it in and pop it on a cold radiator or leave the bugger to be darked on and have spider willies rubbed on it and probably need to be rewashed

It has misbehaved and deserves to be darked on as a warning to all the other items of laundry that might be similarly recalcitrant.

One towel?? What about the other 63 you’ve surely washed today? And the 8 pairs of pyjamas.

I love ‘darked on’

DeanStockwellsBunny · 22/04/2022 23:35

Is there a mother thread to explain...

DropYourSword · 22/04/2022 23:42

Famously spiders don't have willies during sunlight hours

Stigsmother · 23/04/2022 02:32

Oh I do love a good spider willy thread😚
But I do feel a little bit sorry for the lonesome towel, the wind was clearly picking on it......

DressingGownofDoom · 23/04/2022 02:51

YABU not to have darked on clothes. Have you ever smelt darked on clothes they smell amazing. Like honeysuckle and Arabian nights and fresh country air and spider willies.

Update!
I cracked and brought in bastard towel and put it on cold radiator and it was so flipping cold this morning I had to put the heating on so it DID get warmed on eventually

@OvOvO FFS, do you hate your towel or something? Why be so cruel. 😭

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 23/04/2022 18:24

I left clothes out last night, I might leave them out again tonight.

Brave I know

Oh I couldnt leave it out! I'm shocking for this though and I dont know why.

Some people even peg out overnight on purpose!

OvOvO · 23/04/2022 18:52

I used to be one of those peeps who pegged out in the evening during the warmer months but this was before MN put me right about darked on washing and spider jizz
I have now seen the light 💡 ☀️

If there was more than one item I'd say leave them overnight they'd be fine. But you can't leave one sad lonely towel out alone, he will be confused and scared. Its not his fault he got wrapped around the twirly

Poppyseed14 · 23/04/2022 18:57

Are we talking a bath sheet or a hand towel OP? I'm trying to ascertain how many spider willies we are talking about before I commit to an answer...

OvOvO · 23/04/2022 19:03

Just a small hand towel - did try to post a pic of his lonely plight but new platform MN wouldn't let me Sad

I'm on Team Towel ! To leave it out there would be heartless.

iheartmybeachhut · 23/04/2022 19:51

This in peg bucket loads

Sickoffamilydrama · 23/04/2022 19:56

I'm contemplating the same although it's mostly DS boxers so at they are essentially for putting onset willies in sure it will be fine 🕷🍆

Sickoffamilydrama · 23/04/2022 19:57

FFS typos...as they are essentially for putting over willies

MaybeSomeDay7 · 23/04/2022 20:01

Was it the Northern end of the washing lìne, or the independent republic Southern washing lìne? Spider willies are much more flamboyant in the south.

OvOvO · 23/04/2022 20:22

I'm in Yorkshire.
We have our own spiders that are just YORKSHIRE thank you. No southern or northern spiders allowed here Shock
