Vacuum Cleaner 1 Necklace 0

Oh pikey what did the hoover do??? Did you own up to it or just stayed quiet about it?? I have often hoovered things up that shouldn't have and had to go digging in the hoover bag for them (luckily when the hoover back is empty so wasn't too bad finding it. I would blame the women, why was their necklace on the floor in the first place!!!

I have sucked up jewelry and toys and food and rocks. I've even sucked up socks in my vaccuum before.

Years ago I had a cat. She had a litter of 9, count 'em 9 kittens. Frisky kittens. LOVED to chase the Hoover en masse. One day, there were only 8 kittens. You do the math! LOL My kids didn't speak to me for a week! And I never used that Hoover again. Left if behind when I moved..................I no longer have cats either.

Oh my, yes! My vacs have sucked in keys, child toys and dog toys, sand, rocks, and little hair ornaments. Earrings (mine), scraps of paper, nothing is safe from Mr. Vacuum Cleaner! My dog Gus hates him, I have to put him in a room and shut the door before I burn Mr. Vac on or Gus will attack him, I think he thinks that Mr. Vac will turn on me and suck me in!

Well as the owner of four children my hoover has filched its fair share of goodies in its life!! Socks, toys, pens, sweets and even a pair of undies are to name a few!! I am surprised at times the hoover is still running, its a Henry though and amazingly tough little hoovers!!

Hi p1key. Lol you are goint to get it in the neck hehe, yes I have sucked up odd socks here and there and onec I lost my ring and few days later I sucked it up, I had to empty the whole bag out, It was disgusting but I got my ring back so it was worth it, but hubby's sock was gone, didn't find that one, hehehe Hugs.

Well, I see you indeed did live to see another day..So whose was it? Jewelry is slippery and slides off things easily. My vacuum has sucked up socks,earrings,rings,screws..and many other things. I ruined my moms and dads vacuum once because of screws m dad didn't pick them all up so when I vacuumed it sucked up and tore up a good almost brand new vacuum they hadn't had but a few months. Dad was peed off but wasn't me that had the screws out. and it was a shag carpet and I didn't see it. that is why I like my stick vacuums because you can pick up alot of things and it will just go into a bag which you empty and it mostly doesn't tear things to shred's So did you have to replace Mr. Hoover?

when my daughters were little and played with barbies and bratz, they used to bring everything down to the living room to play with and i was always sucking up tiny shoes and whatnot. i could have started an doll accessory store no doubt.

I remember once long ago in a place far away I was married to a gentleman that thought he was a handyman of sorts. He took it upon himself to take apart a very expensive stereo system. Well in doing so, he lost a very important teeny weeny chip that was imperative to the stereo running properly. We couldn't find it anywhere. In the meantime one of those "vacuum cleaner companies" that like to provide household demonstrations called and wanted to come in and give us a demonstration. I agreed and when they did asked to keep the filters. They were a little surprised, but nodded in agreement. There upon the filter lie the pesky little chip that had alluded us for so long. So you see, in this case the story has a happy ending. ROFL.

I know that sound you speak of. I liken it to that of fingernails down a chalkboard... only not quite as chilling. The strangest thing I got with my vacuum of late, was a cat toy. Thankfully, only a dollar store toy... but still, her favourite. Stick with a string with a ball that rattles at the end of the string. Apparently, the string is NOT strong enough to handle the vacuum going over it. Now we all know.

Oh, crikey, P1key ... I hope it wasn't the Crown Jewels! These days, my vac mainly only has dust - but in the early years it was usually full of Lego. I used to empty it very carefully over the bin so I could extract anything important (yuck) - and I do remember searching for the backs of earrings when the girls were in their teens. The WORST thing I have to contend with are used guitar strings in my son's room - I can't see them when they are lying on the floor, and the first I know is when the vac goes 'WHANG!' and makes a grinding noise and I have to stop everything in order to extract the damn thing from around the roller! I hope you didn't get spanked TOO hard ... or too softly, as may be your wont ...

No, we use clean cloth to clean. I saw something in which the tail of a cat was "vacummed" lol...and the cat almost got such up completely if I didn't see it and turn the machine quicly. It should be left running. Cheers and all the best.

all the time! panties alot! I leave them on the floor (most of them clean believe it or not), and I use a shop vac first before I use the upright vacuum (which is now broke, well the belt is), so it just sucked them up! Same thing with socks. I end up vacuuming alot of things up. And once I accidently flushed my bra down the toilet! lol.

thanks

Well I have to agree with you they should not have left it there But yes I used to vacuum up Lego Bits, and other Toys and the Kids learned the hard way to put them away lol Now it is Gissi Chewies and wow does that make a noise lol

All i have to say is "RUN"!!! of course it should have not been on the floor. course if it was important enough they would have put it away. But we are women and you the man should have been more careful!!! so i would tell you to run as fast as you can and hide in a good spot!! LOL

Me not vacuum. but I have picked up necklaces that have been left lying around that the cats have chewed...

Not really. Usually all that gets sucked up around here is dust and teeny tiny little beads that I can't see once they hit the floor. Sure can hear it when they go into the vacuum cleaner, though.*L*

Yup sucked up the cat just last week caught her tail and watched her spin round eating balls of fluff and what not luckily she survived and is clean and dust free. Not sure how long it will take me to clean the cat chunks out of the filter though *rolls eyes*

....kitty litter, but not me, one of my "brilliant" ex roommates decided this was the easiest way to clean up in the little closet where the litter box is...uh, no, it's not, actually, every time we turned the vacuum on after that? the litter would come spitting out, and make a bigger mess....really should of had him buy another one. OH WELL!
