I have to say this is one of the best thread titles I have seen in ages.
To be honest though I agree, It strikes me as lazy. I always bring them in when washing is finished drying.
Also Plastic pegs which are most common these days go brittle and don't last half as long if left out.
I still have some old wooden clip pegs and wooden dolly pegs left from my grandmother which have hung around a couple of generations and they last brilliantly.
Has anyone ever washed a washing line? I always leave my pegs out anyway. The line is a handy place to store them, and there they are, all eager and willing, the next time I have some washing. Every couple of years, I lose a few because the sun has perished the plastic. With a Tamara-Ecclestone-like disregard for money, I go and buy some new ones.
I don' t really mind what my neighbours keep in their garden as long as it is not something like a dead horse.
Do you think there's a forum out there where a member started a thread asking "does anybody else's son not have a life?"
If you have seen some the other totally pointless threads that he has concocted, you might start to believe like me that he is composing them in nursery school. ;-)
I do hope everybody who uses different coloured plastic pegs remembers to use only one colour peg at a time when they hang up their washing so there are blocks of colour on the washing line & it looks aesthetically pleasing , other wise what will the neighbours thing ?
( I do know people who put their pegs in blocks of colour for that reason )
If I could, I would use the washing line to bind their hands and legs together, strategically attach said pegs to their most vulnerable areas, stick a still slightly damp sock in their mouths, and then shout abuse at them for several minutes until they see the error of their ways. Or the police arrive, whichever comes sooner.
But I can't because of all these PC lefty pinko do gooders who would whine that such actions were "extreme" or " unacceptable" or "a tad OTT all things considered." Pah.
Plus it's a bit of an eye sore so why not just bring them in with your washing instead of leaving them out for all and sundry to see.
Seriously. That is an issue for you. First world problem there for sure.
You should live where I do and then it wouldn't be an issue. I worry more about the amount of litter and fly tipping which goes on around here, amongst other things.
They're scum. If they are leaving pegs on the washing line you just know they are leaving pubes in the shower and skid marks in the toilet.
Lazy, bone idle pondlife.

Oh, I do - the pubes in the shower are almost a foot deep now, and my toilet is no longer useable - I've dug myself an outdoor one now as the skid marks don't show there...
Quite handy that my pegs are on the line though, cos I can just collect one on the way past to put on my nose to mask the smell!

But if people leave their pegs out, it makes the fly tipping and litter look even worse.

Whats sort of weirdo does this (that would be me) tbf I don't block colour just use the same colour on each item.
We have a big garden surrounded by trees and large bushes. We can't see our neighbors wash at all. However, we have a rotary dryer and I always fold it down after use and remove all the pegs which we keep in a bag in the garage.

Me - I am that old
They're probably the same outrageous people who dare to take their own shopping bags when shopping! Disgraceful, vile and I'm outraged >:(
Are you serious with this thread? My god, with all that's going on in the world I hope this thread is a joke. If it isn't then it should be.>:(
They're my fetish!
Mine are 100% plastic and don't rust or go mouldy. They do start to fade a little after too long in the sun and stop being quite so snazzy!
So am I
I was expecting them to have faces and little dresses, kinda embarrassed
Daft divil, although............................I could be tempted

I actually have a life, so don't spend time staring out of the window at my neighbours washing line.
You must be fun at parties with all the petty little things you constantly fret over.

I'm just going to find my Davy lamp in the loft and I'll be off to the mines in the morning...:(
