I hung the towels out today

[tinkerbell23]

But apparently they are not hung out correctly(?!)

Bet that they are dryer the way i hung them
Out...than if id left them in the machine...which ill feckin do the next time!!!

Tell me, what age will stuff like how someone pegs a towel out on a whirlygig begin to annoy me?

I hope my life isnt ever that crap honestly.

Things like this "knit picking" really gets on my wick. Damned if you do and damned if you dont eh.

Uneccesary stress if u ask me- and no one needs that!!!

I used to rent a property to someone and we shared a courtyard and it used to drive me mad the way she hung her washing out, she didn't have a clue and that included towels.

[naomi24]

Pardon?

[B00]

No, im with whoever whinged- there's a right way and a wrong way to peg washing out.

I asked Mr Boo to peg washing out for me one day the other week whilst I was at work, he'd done it all wrong, I went mental when I came home and saw it.

[daffy654]

My other half is not allowed anywhere near the laundry. I wash it and hang it up/out. He never does it to my standard. lol

[emmie]

must admit i wouldn't let anyone do mine, it's not that there is a right way and a wrong way, there is just my way. Sounds like you are having a problem with ma, is that it?

[naomi24]

Asked a man to peg washing out? Are you mad, B00?!!! ;o)

[erin-x]

I don't think it really matters if it ends up dry... definitely nit-picking!!

[tinkerbell23]

Aww god. Really!? Ill just leave it next time honestly there was already stuff out, and i hung the towels on the space left as the other stuff was still wet. Two pegs per towel..and at the corners not folded over the line!!

God. I cant belive im even moaning about this LOL!!!

Im too old to be living at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[B00]

lol, yeah I know Naomi. I was stupidly embarrassed and prayed no one else saw it the way he'd done it.

For Funks Sake, are seriously saying that you used blue pegs on a red towel????

The pegs have to match the colour of the towel - really, pleasr, don't you know anything????

Eccles, walks away from PC shaking head in wonder...........

tink, it matters not a jot how old you are, parents will always f*ck you up, courtesy of Philip Larkin..

I also have to have co-coordinating pegs on each item too.

(I'm fully aware I might possibly be anal about washing- thank you!)

[tinkerbell23]

See i think id be less annoyed if there wasnt a million things the mothership picks over.

Should have heard the strop she threw over a birthday card on tuesday! I actually started laughing it was so ridiculous!!!!!

Yeah well if it needs to be done a certain way she can do it..... (i am fully aware i must partake in chores....and i do ..its not all i done....but ill do them MY way)

I mean the fackin whirleygig is in the back garden which backs onto a lane For Funks Sake

[tinkerbell23]

Seriously...like should i have juggled the already hung out washing around or something!?

Not for future reference btw- they can lie in the machine now!!

Last time i got into trouble for using the tumble dryer for something. And pla remember i had my own flat and i am bloody clean and had clean washing.

Please let me have a job soon so i can move out!!!!!!! Pleeeeeeease!! X

[EcclesCake]

I'm feeling reassured that I'm not the only weirdo on the block/ colour co-ordinated contributor that has to match the colour of the peg to the item being pegged!!!

[tinkerbell23]

But i didnt have enough white pegs for white towels!!

And i hung the big towels on big bits of rope and wee-er ones on wee-er bits of rope!?

Cant win!! Might have to take a pic out of my window and you can all tell me were i went wrong. X

And the clothes have to go down in descending size too, largest on line farthest from house, then going down in size so the smallest (underwear etc) is on line nearest house.

Really do think i need help!

Just don't - I lived with a borderline OCD case once - wouldn't actually do any of the domestics - but was perfectly capable of instructing me in the error of my washing/cleaning/ironing methodology.

I still tremble at the tirade I got about hanging bras and knickers and socks on the airer at the same time ...

[emmie]

eccles, i am not that bad, colour coded pegs, cor
