WITH the weather hotting up for summer, more and more of us are drying clothes outside.
But while hanging the laundry on the line, have you ever had a closer look at the pegs?
As one man left people stunned by he had done just that, and had discovered a hidden function he’d never seen before.
In a video on TikTok, he showed his on the line – with the line itself going through the hole underneath the “hinge”;; of the peg.
“I was today years old when I found out I had been pegging wrong all these years,”;; he wrote over the top of the clip.
“The little holes are for the line!”;;
“Today years old.... Life changing!!!!”;; he added in the video caption.
And the comments section was almost immediately filled with people admitting they were just as astounded as he was when he found out.
“Literally had no idea!”;; one admitted.
“No idea over here,”;; another agreed.
“Are you kidding me? Now I’m even more excited to hang my out tomorrow!”;; a third commented.
“Omg! I’m 55 and just found out!”;; someone else wrote.
“Well I’ll be damned,”;; another marvelled.
“The things you learn on tickletok!”;; someone else joked.
“You just blew my mind,”;; another said.
While someone else admitted they were 32 and “never knew this till now”;;.
“Mind blown!”;; another raved.
“I am not going back out to re peg my washing for the fear my neighbours think I’m crazy,”;; someone else laughed.
“I’ll do it next time!”;;
The discovery wasn’t new to everyone though, as another sighed: “This has got to be a joke right?
“Are you serious people didn’t know this?”;;
Meanwhile, others used the comments section to share their own washing line hacks.
“I put mine on clothes hangers first then peg the clothes hangers to the line so they don’t move,”;; one wrote.
“Once you take them off, they’re already ready for the wardrobe.”;;
“OMG! great idea!!”;; the poster replied.
“So much more room on the line,”;; another added.
As someone else said: “T-shirts and jumpers on hangers.
“Jeans and trousers by the belt loops so you don’t get marks on the legs from the pegs once they have dried.
“And handy to have a sock hanger to use less space!”;;
