Drying the washing.

How Rude!! You continue to hang your washing outside, Put underwear on a twirly peg thing. I hang my washing out as soon as the weather is fit enough. Not only does it smell nice and fresh it saves on the leccy too. Ignore your snobby neighbour. Oh and its not unhygenic either.

Ignore your neighbour
Totally ridiculous. I hang out washing whenever I can - even in the winter. My neighbours can't see it as our garden is private.One of them told me she tumble dries everything because she doesn't want bird poo on her washing. I don't think that's ever happened to mine and I love the smell of outdoor dried laundry.

I don't often hang out washing and never hang out undies but having comments like that from your neighbour would make me want to hang outside everyday. Totally rude and plain nonsense.

I remember a couple of years ago, i was sitting outside as it was a glorious day. I had 2 lines of washing out and i was listening to my next door neighbour's tumble dryer going round and round. I don't know how they afford the electric. What a waste. Thankfully they have moved now but i never saw any washing hanging outside.

Oh course you must hang your washing outside when the weather is nice . It’s very good to air it in the sun and breeze . We always hang ours out if we can - knickers , bras , pants and all ! Much better for the environment than using an expensive tumble drier . 😊

The smell of sheets and duvet covers dried outside in the sun is one of my favourites. Ignore the neighbour! I once had a complaint years ago when we all used Terry nappies about them being hung out to dry. The man said they spoilt his view! Being a wimp I said sorry and henceforth at great inconvenience tried to dry them inside not easy in a one bedroom flat with no central heating or tumble drier. They shortly had a baby of their own……..mine were out of nappies by then!

My most favourite thing is to hang out my washing first thing in the morning. Always checking weather forecast previous day. I love sorting my whites from coloureds etc.
After using clothes prop, I then walk around garden usually in my dressing gown. There is nothing more satisfying than looking at that line of full of washing blowing in the breeze.

...as if someone is going to tell me when, where, and how I dry my washing.

It is not only acceptable it is very sustainable, you carry on. Unhygienic my eye. By not speaking to you, she is doing you a favour. I would have her hung her out to dry.

No, carry on drying it outside.
It's more environmentally friendly.

She has ignored me ever since.
I will be polite and say just as well.

Buy a pack of lacy thongs and hang them out even if you never wear them 🙂

I wish I still had my clothesline ro hang clothes outside.
Not sure where the unhygienic comment came from. When I was doing cloth diapers I always hung them outside for the sun to give them a proper bleaching.
I would continue to hang my clothes and I'd also hang all my unmentionables as well.
I might even borrow some extras from friends.

Callistemon21!🤣🤣🤣

eileea even after soaking and a hot wash nappies might still have a stubborn stain or two but the sun would always bleach it out!

Of course, most of us would be wearing them anyway Mollygo 😂
Well, not me, I call them cheese cutters!

When there's a chance my washing could dry, I hang it out bras an all. It's more hygienic getting bleached by the sun. My tumble dryer doesn't work very well and I'm not considering replacing it anytime soon. In fact I noticed my neighbour started hanging her washing out as well!

I recall reading that Elvis Presley’s mother was asked not to hang out washing to dry when he first bought Graceland.
I also remember wondering why a man with so much money had bought a house where neighbours could see what was going on close to it.
Incidentally, I use a tumbler dryer. It means that I don’t have to iron most things.

Take a good look at her house and garden, find something amiss or something you dislike and at the first opportunity, have a scathing sarcastic remark up your sleeve to even things up.
Tricky if she’s not speaking to you, but watch out for your moment 👍

Hang outside whenever weather allows it- i would.when i do i peg 2 prs undies together=1 peg so not really visible to first glances- i sometimes cant peg up due to arthritis but mostly i would but find more & more folk ruin a good drying day by lighting blooming bonfires or barbeques! Idiots! My neighbour has stuff out when she can- an older lady about 80- its a young person thing is not hanging them out- lazy probably😅

Yes i'd have just had to put that young lady in her place i'm afraid!😂

For goodness sake what a dreadful comment. Hang your washing out with pride, underwear as well. Nothing beats the smell of freshly laundered bedding and clothing dried outside. Healthier too not to have all that moisture indoors causing damp issues and mould. Honestly made me cross to hear that your neighbour commented on hanging a bit of washing out. How very dare she.

I hang my washing out whenever I can as d my neighbours.I do try to hang the underwater where it cannot be seen but my neighbour hangs all her sexy underwear for all to see. She is next to a public footpath so anyone can see it.
My DD who lived in the States says they did not hang washing out and had industrial-sized tumblers in their basement.
Pity you can't get an old fashioned corset from a charity shop and as Georges's gran says an old fashioned pair of bloomers. I would have said to her how pleasant it was to meet friendly new neighbours.

Unbelievable!
(As is “hiding” your undercrackers!)

Your neighbour is obviously completely mad !! And rude !! And wrong !!

PS go and buy/steal/borrow the driest most outrageous lingerie you can find and hang it out high and proud every day for a week !!

Sorry sexiest not driest haha stupid auto-correct !!

I really can't understand the comments about pegging out underware where it can't be seen - go in any supermarket/department store and there's underware galore on show. Unless it's underware you are embarrassed to wear (very racy/huge bloomers) I can't see the problem.
