Vacuuming: The beastliest activity on earth!
I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! But it has to be done! I don't like my kitties wallowing in filth!

1. It's fun when you turn up the music and air guitar on the vacuum...
but then people think you're weird. :shrug:

2. I'll try it
Or do a "Mrs. Doubtfire" or something. Anything to ease the pain!

6. Inventors--Where the hell are you?
Hasn't the vacuum cleaner been around for an extremely long time with the basics unchanged? I find it hard to believe we couldn't improve on a big sucking machine. We should make it much smaller, and quiet! I think the noise is the worst thing about it. That and the damned cord. While we're improving vacuum cleaners, what about irons? Didn't our forefathers and mothers use metal irons that had to be heated up on a woodstove? Same idea, same design except for the electrical cord. And while we're improving that............

10. We have a built-in
So inside the house it's nice and quiet. Out by the exhaust, though, it sounds like an old 727 idling. I still hate to vac, though. When I do, two cats run and hide, one follows me around yowling until I vaccuum her.

7. I'll trade you!
I'll vacuum your house if you come wash all the little plastic bowls my husband uses to take his lunch to work. That is my most hated chore! Ugh! It's all those little butter and yogurt bowls we reuse to keep from throwing them out.

13. I don't mind vacuuming.
I think the beastliest household chore is scrubbing hard water stains out of the toilet.
