Where did I go wrong?

[MSTRS]

To be of helpful assistance to SWMBO, while she was out this AM, I kindly did and hung out 3 loads of washing. (Nice guy that I am).
Now, my problem is this...
Went to hang out the 4th and last load (after she got home) only to notice that all previous hanging-out had been totally re-arranged on the line.
Where did I go wrong?

Where did I go wrong?



You breathed... :whistle:

[sAsLEX]

She who must be obeyed


Thats just for quasi as he is old and stuggles with acronyms

[MSTRS]

You breathed... :whistle:

With respect to the old joke about the man, his new bride, and his horse....that's once:whistle:

[Finn]

I'll tell you where you went wrong. You cared enough to post about it.

[Wellyman]

Women have a way everything must be layed out, even on the washing line, never cross her line, never try to do a womens job. you will be growled at and nagged at for not doing it in the proper layout.

Jam everything into the dryer! washing lines take ages to figure out! takes me an hour just to open it!

if the misses complains, tell her a big black cloud was overhead, but oh.. ..its gone now... hmm. oh well :cool:

Given that you washed the clothes, in the first instance incorrectly, then carried them, without proper training, and THEN proceeded to hang them in the manner most likely to cause actual phyical harm (to you) that she didn't actually cause you physical harm - is cause for celebration! Tell her to start cooking your eggs and then go to the pub for four days - that'll clear up that domestic bless, quick smart.

Mums like that... Don't know why... Its why I gave up doing the laundry... I still try to be helpful though... But even now she re-arranges the rug when I put it back on the floor after cleaning and stuff... You just can't win...

Ask her why she re-arranged the laundry.. and I'm sure you'll get told... "if its not hung out like this is won't dry" that was always mums excuse... :laugh:

If you did that here, I'd be wrapping them around your neck and pulling them tight, just for a laugh, of course!

[Karma]

You hung up all the lacy underwear in full view of everyone?

[James Deuce]

The laundry Items should range from smalls on the inside to bigs on the outside.

You should always puts pegs on seams, not NEXT to them as the seam is stronger than a single layer of fabric.

Never jam the pegs on, or if they are spring loaded, use the tightest setting. This will cause the fabric to fray during normal wind movement due to friction breaking down fibres in the fabric..

Where you went wrong is hanging up washing instead of going for a ride. You plonker.

I love you, will you marry me?

Don't worry MSTRS, it's a girl thing - I do exactly the same as Yungatart.

...i know how, i just choose not to. Then at least i can plead dumb :cool:

Men just don't seem to understand the science of pegging laundry on the line...it must be done in such a manner that it maximises the drying, minimises the ironing, makes folding it a breeze, and avoids the dreadful mistake of having one's under garments on show to all and sundry who visit one's back yard.
For example, pair up the sox before hanging them on the line. Underwear gets hung at the back, if you have one of those pull out type lines, on the inside, as Jim2 says (your wife got a great catch, didn't she Jim?), if you have a rotary line. Towels and sheets do NOT get pegged corner to corner or all saggy - put some tension on them for goodness sake! And don't peg my shirts under the bloody sleeves.
Its hardly rocket science, boys!
RR - maybe we could start classes for these blokes - The Art of Laundry - Jim2 - you can be excused without a note from your mother - you obviously have the art of laundry sussed!

Did ya hang the knickers and bras on the outside lines of the washing line??? Good god man, the neighbours might see!

And you have to hang towels and bedding on the outer lines cos they're big and need room to flap and then you've got to make sure there's no gaps between the washing - come on man, there's 4 (FOUR!!) loads of washing to hang out. That's a lot you know...and if it's not all dry by the end of the day it'll have to come inside and good lord! then whatever will we do????????????????????????

:D :D :D :D

(I parody myself so much in what I say it hurts to read it! :rofl:)

[MSTRS]

All the 'smalls' were hanging out of view (that is one instruction that I won't forget). To my eye (the one I can still see out of:whistle: ) all was well, but no. I guess it IS women's work?? After all - BBQ's are a bloke's domain.

[apteryx_haasti]

YOu didn't inadvertantly choose an order that spelled out a subliminal message to SWMBO did you?

Camisole-Overalls-Overshirt-Knickers....

[MSTRS]

You lot are all too serious today. Whatever happened to answers like....
The training hasn't taken. Suggest you put her through the course again.
:msn-wink:

[sunhuntin]

i still always hang socks 'lengthways' along the line with 3/4 pegs, just for sh*ts and giggles :cool:

i did that to a bra once...an honest mistake though! and then i couldnt work out why mum was laughing...on peg on the end, another between the cups and then the other end...there were several bras, so took a fair bit of room....

not only womens domain...but i think MUMS domain... LOL.

and an expensive shopping trip!!!

[Beemer]

It's a woman thing - I nearly always rehang the washing after my husband has put it out! Men don't have much idea of how things need to be pegged on the line to ensure they dry fast.

But I'm going to give you bling for helping, you're a sweetie!

[98tls]

yea but its a one time payment and then no more washing duties....and hey it could happen when just her stuff was in there.......:whistle:

Bling for 'best' suggestions....You hung the washing, shes thinking he wants something "Sex", well he's not getting it, not his birthday January. he can't even hang the washing without mixing up the pegs you don't put blue and red pegs on a black G string.

That's more like it...phoaarr, you manage 2 pegs on a g? Anyway, damned if I could find the black pegs:whistle:

[chanceyy]

lol You just have no idea on how expensive that lil shopping trip would entail .. better to wreck ya own .. sorted in 5 mins .. after all punishment would be not only paying for her's but having to spend the weekend replacing everything .. (no time to ride the TL) ..

My mum has a way to hang everything out .. but she knows better than to re hang stuff out when i go to stay .. ex used to help hang out washing . & I left his clothes they way he liked to hang them out .. after all he had to wear them .. & I would not change the way he hung out a full load ... just appreciated the fact he tried to help out ;)

[yungatart]

...& I would not change the way he hung out a full load ... just appreciated the fact he tried to help out ;)

Usually I just leave it the way he hung it, but today (MSTRS was not entirely truthful with his story BTW), he had taken most of the front of the line to hang the first two loads.

We have one of those rectangle lines up against the gargre wall.

To hang the 3rd load (which I did) would have meant scrambling around among wet sheets and towels to get it on the line, so I did the only reasonable thing, I rehung the washing!!

I reallly didn't mean to upset him and, darling, I am truly grateful for all you do around the house:hug:

laffing .. yup that is a man thing .. work from the outside to inside .. get tangled in the washing .. its a pain in the ass .. so i hear you on that one..

& most woman these days are grateful for help with housework etc .. esp these days when both are working full time, It never hurts for men to be domesticated .. they can then appreciate what woman do around the house

[Colapop]

Usually I just leave it the way he hung it, but... blah 3rd load (which I did) would have meant scrambling around among wet blah blah blah *woman talking AGAIN* blah blah blah *went away for 1/2 an hour* blah blah blah ... I rehung the washing *men are all useless* ... blah blah blah you do blah blah blah around the house

Careful what you say CP - I know for a fact that not only do you not wash your own undies, when skids happen, you are too scared to tell Mrs CP about your whoopsie and are reduced to trying to sell them on e-bay....:whistle:

No, not quite correct! It has to be the right way - after all, if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
A line of laundry, hung correctly, is a thing of beauty to behold!

It just so happens that my way is right, while yours is, well, not quite right.. keep practising, it makes for perfection:lol:
