No its not for the reasons you might think. My wife had the day off and calls me at work.
Q. Did you do some vacuuming last weekend?
A: Yes dear I thought I would help you out. (I almost never pick up the vacuum. We have ducted vacuuming installed)
Q: Did you vacuum up any water?
I think back to last weekend. Yes I did spill quite a lot of water in my fish room (yes my other hobby is breeding tropical fish) and I did vacuum it afterwards.
A: I might have vacuumed up a little bit.
Well my wife went to plug the vacuum into the wall socket and out came about a litre of black water on our nice cream colored carpet.
My response. "Well then that's the last time I help you with the vacuuming!"
This was not taken very well and all I heard were expletives as I disconnected the call.
I later rang and asked If I had received any parcel's today. The response is not repeatable in this or any other forum.
I couldn't actually see the water. I have marine carpet on the floor and I used towels but obviously did not get it all. Ducted vacuuming suction is very strong and it appears sucked up the remaining water. It's the first time I have used the silly thing for years. (and the last time- lol).
I have mostly south american catfish, electric yellows, angels, an oscar, gouramis, flavus, and others. It's an example of my obsessive compulsive disorder. At one stage I had 25 fish tanks. I can't seem to do anything in small amounts. All or nothing. I am not sure why my wife puts up with me. It definitely isn't for money as she earns more than I do.
