Do you pull a face when hoovering?

[sammyc]

I realise it's probably impossible for you to unconsciously answer now I've asked, but if you can honestly summon up your hoovering mode self.. (keep it clean please) - I'm aware I squint like someone trying to stop their glasses falling off their face. Anyone else or am I alone in this phenomenon?



And yes it's Bank Hol, no-one is in, so I'm taking free rein in the silly thread dept. I may not be done yet.

I don't hoover - I get a Moose to nibble on the carpet. But my carpet has lots of hoof marks now! :l

Ok, u got me.. finally wore me down.. I laughed at a moose post. First time in nearly 10 years & almost certainly the last. Enjoy ur triumph.

My hoovering face is so sexy I have to make sure no-one ever sees it.

I have dedication to the cause - what can I say?!

I usually have a smug smile when the hoovering is being done


I'll be on the sofa with a cup of tea

great .. truly great.. thread and question.

No.. I don't make a face while hoovering.

But I do talk to myself and swear appallingly at anything that doesn't get sucked up in one go....

and I have no idea why!!!

There is always a bit of fluff that the hoover won't have, but that when you lean down & flick with a finger, is perfectly loose and suck-up-able, not glued to the carpet or anything, so what's with that?

Most of my swearing comes from the flex having lassooed things in its wake and trying to drag them with it, usually from an entire other room, round corners & along the hall, trying to get other things to join in.

Yes. Every time. Even now we've got a Henry rather than an upright.

it's not quite as good as when I lived/worked in a residential community though - they had the numatic backpack vacuums, so you could legit pretend you were vacuuming up ghosts

EDIT: incidentally, I am now humming "I want to break free" in the office. Just like I was yesterday when I first saw this thread. Can't help myself. It's a proper tune.
