A lot of hoopla over drying your clothes in your back yard but not everyone enjoys seeing that. I wish I could live on a 5 acre property and do whatever I wish - cars on blocks and possibly run around in the nude.
But I live in an area that has bylaws and doesn't permit clothes drying outside or any eyesore what so ever.
But everyone who moved into this area understands it. If you don't like it well if course don't move in....
oh gosh nothing smells better than clothes hung out to dry in the fresh air and sunshine
remembering by gone days and my Mama
I long to live in the countryside where no one can tell me no
That's living!
The kind of living where I'd have to burn a crap load of gas to go anywhere doesn't appeal to me.
ever clothesline burn your face/neck? i've been out running the cops in the dark, they in their cars & my dumb ass on foot. CLOTHES-LINED
also did this on a motorcycle once in daylight hours. zzzoooom .... done
CLOTHESLINES do good jobs at fucking you up when you run right into them. generally you're on your back with a foot long wire/rope burn down your face, neck, and stuff & you're goin? what the fuk? ouch
It's all in the eye of the beholder.
I think it's an eyesore. Just as bad as junked cars in the front yard. Graffiti, on the other hand, is not an eyesore to me, yet the city keeps painting over it. It's just a matter of opinion.
And there are other ways to hang dry clothes than to string it up for all to see. I hang or flat dry probably 70% of the clothes that I wear, but I do so inside on racks made for this purpose. Got them at Ikea for $10 each. My neighbors don't have to look at that mess. Lucky them.
I personally have no issue with clean clothes swaying in the wind. if it's so bloody offensive, why does almost every "country fresh" smelling detergent commercial show a woman hanging her clean clothes outside with her playful children running through them?
what the fuck is this world coming to.

The term "clotheslining" as a fight move didn't come from nowhere!

had a g/f who had this kinda clothesline. it was a brast to hang out laundry & pull the rope
that's the exact same kind my gramma had. and she lived in a big fucking nice house on a very large property. nothing downtrodden about it. thanks for posting, Mr Dora tv.

Well, I also said that people freak out about shit that other people do that bothers them WAY too much. While I don't like hanging laundry as a view, and do appreciate bylaws against it, I certainly wouldn't put up a stink if the bylaw wasn't there and people were hanging laundry. I wouldn't like it, but that's life. I'd keep my mouth shut. It's not like they're littering or have a hoard in their yard or something.

I guess it all depends...
On what is hung out to dry. Our brains picture a 1950s type Harriet Nelson stringing up lilly white bedsheets on a breezy sunny day... that's not reality.
Ever see people's sheets? They look okay on the bed because it's indoors and it under the blankets and comforters... but, they can be kind of nasty. Don't believe me? Do some laundry atr you local laundrymat and catch a glimpse of some of the shit they are folding... especially the kid's sheets.
You won't see Harriet Nelson hanging those things up.

Yeah, to me most hung laundry just looks ratty. May as well be old rags hanging all over the place.

to you it looks like rags when folks be having their wash hangin out? sheets & whatnot all looks shitty to you?
again, it isn't yours and not on your property. get a grip w/ your lives & move on to something worth a shit
america (& apparently canada) are both cry baby places where you can't hang up your god damn laundry
Why are you overreacting to everything I say? I already said I'd never say anything about it. I just don't like how it looks. I've got a grip, thanks. I have no idea how it means anything about my life, but stop being so damned judgy.

hallelujah ... someone actually more irritated at this than me! ...
I'm loving this thread
I'm not even irritated, more like...the fuck?
Don't get me wrong - I too would like to enjoy all of our home's surroundings but it's just not realistic to expect to live in a Stepford-type society. Some things are worth fighting for, and for me, the presence of laundry drying on a clothesline (unless it's infringing on me in some way and I can't really see how it would) ain't one of them.
Okay... i'll be serious, here...
I never machine dry my shirts. T-shirts, buttons whatever... I hang dry them. Int the washroom, where the washer is. I hung a cheap shower curtain rod across the short width of the room and hang them on plastic hangars (the metal one will rust). Granted, not Spring fresh, but, they do dry.
The shirts seem to last longer.

I'd still like to know how someone's laundry in their yard infringes upon you. I don't care what people's laundry looks like, it's their yard, it's their stuff and it has nothing to do with anyone else.

When did I ever say that I think it infringes upon me? Or that it's even my business? I just said that I don't like how it looks. Is anyone even actually reading what I'm posting? Or are some of you here only to pick a fight?

Well, since you ask, you're the only one who's defended the bylaws against them and you do see them as eyesores... Not to mention that I asked you this question back in the beginning that never got answered.
ETA: I know you don't like them. I don't like piles of cars in some people's yards. It doesn't matter, it's their yard, they should be able to do what they want, so my opinion means nothing. It doesn't affect me otherwise. I would never say that people shouldn't be allowed to store broken cars on their property, nor anything else for that matter. It's not there for me to look at and have judgment.

I may have defended that bylaw indirectly, but I also said that I would never act to show my support for it either. Yes, I see it as an eyesore. But there are a lot of things I see as an eyesore. It doesn't mean that I think it is an infringement, nor that I think it's my business.
However, while this particular issue doesn't relate, to say that people can just do whatever they fuck they want as long as it's on their property is absolutely ridiculous. Because something like a front yard car graveyard or whatever DOES infringe on other people. It affects their own sense of comfort where they also live, and it lowers their property values. And in some cases it can pose a danger to others. Saying that anything you do shouldn't affect your neighbors who are actually sharing your living space with you to an extent seems super selfish to me, and particularly unneighbourly.

CLOTHESLINES do good jobs at fucking you up when you run right into them. generally you're on your back with a foot long wire/rope burn down your face, neck, and stuff & you're goin? what the fuk? ouch
