    no i don't crack you up. i speak the truth. if a society can't handle a clothesline that society is weak & a society i don't wanna be a part of.

    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....

    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

    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?

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

    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.

    I'm loving this thread :mrgreen:

    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.
