Vacuum or Modern Day Torture Device?
The title is supposed to be on the humorous side, but in reality my vacuum turned out to be quite a violent machine. It is aptly named The Dyson Animal.
Just look at it - it is essentially an Evil Transformer come to life!
So, why is it a Modern Day Torture Device? Well, I found out the hard way. I decided to do a little clean up this weekend around the house and grabbed the 'vacuum'. I was barefoot (big key to the story) and began my work in the bedrooms.
As I was finishing up one of the bedrooms, I lifted the 'vacuum' from a landing down a step to the main carpet. When I did so, the head of the 'vacuum' - still running full speed - dropped down and for some reason (who know why?), I stepped into it. OUCH!!!!!!
This is where the machine turned into a Moder Day Torture Device. It snapped my index toe! Not just a little "Ow, that hurt!" - it snapped the toe - purple and black and now walking with a limp.
So, a bit of advice for those who may possess this type of 'vacuum':
1. DO NOT use it while barefoot - this is my fault.
2. If you ever need to get someone to talk, simply remove the shoe, turn on this machine insert toes. They'll be singing any tune you want.
Now, please excuse me while I go get some ice.
