Washing at night!

[fandjango]

Controversial I know but is hanging your washing out at night a really bad thing?

I know I know, Spider Penises and Bugs etc but don’t these things also happen during the day?

We are a Family with small people with lots of washing and our tumble drier has recently broken down, plus cost of living and all that plus the sunshine early morning.

Husband is horrified i’ve hung some washing out on the line and also hung two clothes horses worth of clothes under our canopy this evening.

I just want to get the washing done!

Surely it’s not just me!?

TBH I find it less "scummy" than using the tumble drier in weather like this.

Have just hung mine out

Why is your husband horrified?! The clothes won't know if it's night or day!

Im not a morning person. I start work at 7.30am and its a struggle.

I hang my washing out after midnight - it gets dry and my neighbours think I am an early riser!!!!

I think it’s 100% fine! Like you said, tumble drier broken and cost of living, makes so much sense to try and dry as much as poss outside.

I've just hung a load out now, do it all the time during spring/summer 😅 spider willies and being darked on doesn't bother me apparently 😂

Darked on-what does that mean? I have no idea

Exactly this.
I've got no idea why anyone would notice or care.
If the biggest problem someone has is my washing on the line overnight I am delighted for them!

I'm with you! As we have a problem with humidity and resulting mould in our house, I prefer any wet washing to be outside rather than drying indoors. I will therefore hang it outside no matter what time it is.

No it will get darked on, my neighbour does this and it's just wrong

What does Spider Penises mean?? 🫣

It means Nothing just boring recycled nonsense best ignored

I do it even though it gets darked on. I often leave it out for more than a day. I do something find earwigs in the clothes I bring in though.

Its an old MN joke, same as "darked on". There is an explaination upthread.

I think I can imagine lol omg

Not only am I quite happy to put my washing out at night, I also put it out if it's raining. Three reasons for this, the first being that I am obviously a slattern. Secondly, the rain will stop eventually and my washing will be already out on the line waiting to dry. And thirdly, I live quite close to a nuclear power station, I reckon it makes my whites whiter ! 🤣

Hoping to learn more about spider penises - and I'm desperate to know what being "darked on" means!

No bring it in it’ll get all fusty smelling 😷

@Tangerine13 @antikkiti see page 4

I’ve also left my washing out, it is being darked on. There is a fence nearby so those damn spiders will be jumping across to rub their spidey willies on my clean clothes. 😰🫣

@LuckyOtters we had a neighbour who very much cared that when she looked out her window she could see several of her neighbour’s hanging washing out regularly. The audacity! Still not sure why it bothered her but it very much upset her and she often complained to another resident. Zero f*cks were given.

Depends on the size of the spider.

Thanks @Mistunza 😆

Spidernet is full of spiders indignant that idiot people think they rub their peni on their washing. Guest user 'the dark' is similarly miffed and has far better things to do!

If your husband doesn't like how you do the laundry then he can do it or he can ST_U. That's an acronym for a phrase in the US regarding people and their opinions, but it's missing a letter. As the person who does the laundry, you, and you alone, have the final decision with regard to spider penises, night mist, or anything else involving laundry. Usually shaking out your clothes and drying it in the sun solves most problems.
