I have a line I string up in my home office. I have some flannels and a couple pairs of jeans that I do not like to put in the dryer. I clip the line to the closet door and room door using carabiners, then hang my clothes over night with the fan on.

Here a couple months ago, dryer went out, few days before the replacement one arrived. We just strung up some lines and rolled with it.

In the 70's, my mom regularly hung sheets and towels on the clothesline in our yard. The clothes we wore, on the other hand, always went through the dryer.

That pretty much went out when women started to get jobs. I cut my mom’s clothesline down 10 years ago after she washed her sheets and some birds shite all over them when they were hanging out to dry!

My grandparents do
They’re in their late 80’s
They’re so cheap they don’t wanna use the electricity for the dryer
They keep it 78 degrees in their house at all times
It is miserable

The dollars they are saving now will, if you are decent, become your inheritance.
Unless you define yourself as un-cheap.

My mom used a single line for to air out quilts after winter until lightning struck it and traveled to the eye lag screw into the back of the house which was next to an electrical outlet. The sheetrock blew out across the room.

I set up a clothesline to hang bird feeders in the back yard and being tall, some of my clothes need to air dry so they do not shrink.

Same same .
Where i live there are services that will pick up, wash & dry & fold your clothes then deliver it back to my condo.. for super cheap, literally like… wait for it…….. $3.50 usd … ive utilized them a couple times.. the problem is coordinating when they will pick them up, then having to be here when they drop them off so i can pay them etc.. so i usually just wind up using my washing machine then hanging them on the balcony to dry .

brother in law works at a USN base in Spain. Their family dries clothes on a line everyday. Electric rates there are insane causing them to avoid running AC of any large electric devices

March in Australia.
Energy costs have always been expensive as hell there so most people hang dry their clothes. Been that way there forever. Just about every backyard in Australia has a "Hills Hoist" like this:

Around here people use the redneck clothes line. They hang clothes over a fence to dry.

Every time my neighbors to the rear do laundry. They are Asian people…the lady told me they have a dryer but prefer to hang them up outside.

~ hour ago.
However, I live in a country where most people don't own dryers.
