No More Mr Clean

[lizblackdog]

note to self: empty the fucking hoover BEFORE trying to dehair the damn flat. You know perfectly well it cuts out when the bag gets full. You know that the hoover bag has a capacity roughly that of a Ferengi's capacity for altruism. You also know that when it cuts out it won't work again until it's rested for like two hours. You also knew perfectly well you had someone with allergies visiting today. You, ma'am, are an idiot.

At least you are not like my OCD co-worker who used to gift me with her old vaccuum cleaners when they showed the slightest sign of not sucking as much....she finally got a dyson vaccuum about two years ago...and told me night before last that she wants a new one....WTF??? Those things are supposed to last forever! (Especially since they cost $600). I guess two years IS forever for someone who bought a new vaccuum every 3 months...LOL! She also told me she bought a temporary vaccuum when she messed up the dyson by sticking a knife in it to try and loosen some blockage and it sucked the knife up.....she KNEW her husband could fix the vac when he got home that weekend (he's an electrician) but she couldn't BEAR the thought of spending a week without a vaccuum cleaner so she bought a dirt devil to get her through.....sheeshhhhh....I'm glad I'm not THAT obsessed....my Bissell has lasted two years now (I bought it when she got the dyson and stopped giving me hand me downs....LOL!) Though I've very much appreciated the carpet shampooer she gave me last week (she used it ONCE at her old house and it doesn't work well on the berber carpet in her new place.......SCORE!)

Masking tape? Giant sheets of it? Lint brush? Damn, I hate having allergic people over. It's just so pointless trying to do something about it, and then their faces get all puffy. It's so sad....

But, umm, thanks for the reminder. I need to empty mine.

I love how you British people call it a "hoover," like how we say "kleenex" or "xerox." ;)
