The worst part about housecleaning is the spiders.\u00a0 Now – this may just be me because there are a lot of spiders in my house.\u00a0 Or – this may just be me because I totally have arachnophobia.\u00a0 But am I right or what?!?<\/p>\n
I mean, seriously.\u00a0 Spider webs alone flip me out.\u00a0\u00a0I literally FLUNG the dustrag ACROSS THE ROOM while SCREAMING AAaaaahhhhh!!! the other day because I thought a spider web had brushed my hand.\u00a0 Turns out if was a thread from my sleeve.\u00a0 Oy.<\/p>\n
But coming across an actual live spider?\u00a0\u00a0In a corner.\u00a0 Just waiting for me.\u00a0 Waiting…<\/p>\n
That’s the stuff of nightmares.<\/p>\n
And you (and when I say you I mean me) can’t just vacuum it up.\u00a0 Because it’s in a\u00a0corner.\u00a0 And everyone knows the vacuum cleaner doesn’t “do” corners very well which means the spider may escape (right at you\/me!!!) and live to terrorize you\/me another day.<\/p>\n
No – it’s necessary to assemble that hose attachment thing so that you can accurately\u00a0pinpoint your\u00a0spider sucking efforts.\u00a0 But then what happens?\u00a0 I envision all of the spiders I’ve sucked\u00a0up\u00a0somehow cling to the inside of the\u00a0hose\u00a0just waiting for me to disassemble it before they POP out at me in retribution!<\/p>\n
Or…as is more likely the case…they form a vast community of sucked-up-spiders living in the cleaner bag.\u00a0 Subsisting on crumbs.\u00a0 Rubbing their (4 sets of?) hands together, cackling maniacally as they plan a revolt against the overlord.\u00a0 Once they have\u00a0achieved critical mass, they’ll come\u00a0pouring out of the vacuum cleaner bag when I change it.<\/p>\n
Well, ha ha!\u00a0 I have totally outsmarted them.\u00a0 I\u00a0never change the vacuum cleaner bag.<\/p>\n
