How many $1000s if not hundreds of thousands have we sucked up and tossed or drained away over our careers?


This 4th time NV repeat was convinced that I vacuumed up a key to her antique gumball machine...

First time for me to have a customer do this, how about you?

In 89 with my first TM, a McConnell with a liquid ring pump, I had the filter off.

I had a cloth in my hand which got a little too close to the intake.

Straight into the pump and seized it.

Very costly and even ruined the rag.

Well, @Mikey P I said it with endearment. I deal with people like that on a daily basis, every week. It cost me hours of my time.. We are all gonna end up one anyways.

That is the one thing that keeps me going. Everyday is an adventure. You never know what you'll see or experience. If I had more time I would tell you about my day yesterday of losing an apartment key. I tore apart my filter looking for it. Turns out the tenant upstairs stole it while I was cleaning. I was pissed.

I've snagged a few dildos in my day....

I was cleaning for a couple of older gay men one time and when I moved the nightstand by the bed the drawer came open. Well there it was. The biggest dildo I've ever seen. Had a set of testicles attached that would make Arnold Swarzeneger blush.

I found this good sized peice lodged in my Rotovac vacuum slot this week. It was far enough up that I didn’t notice it, though it was collecting a lot of lint and mostly plugged up that one chamber.

Is it a real diamond? Sparkles nice! :)
