Neatness, or obsession?
19 Answers
Whilst I was working on a house this week, I noticed that the next door neighbour was hanging out his washing.
All his socks were hung in pairs, with the distance between them all the same. His pants, shirts & other washing were all hung in exactly the same way. In fact , it looked as though he'd got a ruler to measure the distance between them.
My question is. Is this a male obsession, or do women do the same thing?

Hmmm, I have a bit of a washig line weirdness thing going on too.
My washing has to go down in descending order, so at one end, furthest from the house I'll have my largest items hanging, bedding, towels, jeans etc, then they go down in size so that the smallest is on the line nearest the house.
And while I have lots of different coloured pegs, the same colours have to be used on each item. A red and a blue peg holding up a shirt will never do!

Hmm.. Id say that this guy sounds like he's an angry loner with too much time on his hands and is possibly a serial killer....keep him away from all sharp objects and never have
your back to him......
Oh yeah, To answer your question some throw it on anyway and others have their own certain way of doing it.......Maybe they think it will help dry them faster? lol!

Definitely not a male thing (or even a female thing in our household).
However large items go near the clothes prop because the line is higher there and clothes that take longer to dry go in the bit that gets sunshine all day. And knickers and socks go in in random order.
I don't wash his knickers and socks with mine!!
As for pegs, its take your pick as they come out of the bag.
Where's Neti then!
Carrust, my old neighbour used to be obsessional. He used a ruler to plant out his potatoes at equal distances and his whole life was ordered. OCD, in my opinion, just like your old boss!!
