FabSwingers.com forum: Ther's no pleasing some people..

I just posted on FB that I hoovered everywhere (re: something trivial thread), and Siren commented asking if I really had hoovered everywhere or was I just teasing her.

So I replied:

"It's all done. Apart from your side of the bed cos the lead was plugged in downstairs and wasn't long enough. Must get a longer lead fitted."

And she commented that I should have gone back downstairs, unplugged it, plugged it back in somewhere nearer and continue hoovering.

WTF!!

I'm sat here with the hoover in bits trying to glue an extension to the wires (cos my soldering iron is bust and I don't have a single length of cable long enough for what I need to replace the existing cable entirely and have cannibalised the washing machine that has a 5 metre lead on it yet never fookin moves from the spot we put it in 5 years ago!).

I think I'm making a tremendous effort to save time and leg work in the future, but there's no pleasing some people it seems.

Or am I just being a man?

I find that a small piece of sellotape will fix any electrical problem.

She used all that at Xmas wrapping presents. I did try to 'instruct' her as to the perfect way to wrap pressies but all I got in response was, "FFS Man! I KNOW how to wrap a present up, it's just that I used to be able to do it at the first attempt using minimal sellotape whereas now it takes me three sheets, four rolls of duct tape and sixteen tins of prozac!"

I went to the pub and left her to it.
