what's some of the more interesting (or costly) stuff you've sucked up?




it's amazing how fast toilet paper can be stripped off the roll

striped leaves off the branch of an ornamental tree at the stairs once:redface:
(I pruned the naked branch and Mrs Phiff was none the wiser) :lol:

and I'm sure most of us pulled a spotting towel out of the filter a time or 10 over the years

anyone done any serious damage or harm to living things?

worst that happened to me in the harm/damage part, was banging out student rentals in loose fitting/light wt shorts (commando of course) I'm changing to stair tool when vac hose clamped down on my left one :eekk:

Guys are in the next unit...no one around to shut down or pull hose off TM
I bit the bullet and pulled it off my achy ballzac...:hopeless:

some thirty years ago, I worked for a company in Calgary using scrubbers and wet vacs. There was one crew of 2 guys who were accidently/on purpose sucking up diamond rings, watches and other assorted bits and pieces. When they finally got caught, there wet vac was just loaded with stuff.

One time I was getting paid out near the back of the truck while dumping.....and to both our horror. ..
Out pops this juicy fresh used rubber. ...I couldn't get outta there quick enough ....

I know another cleaner who had an employee suck his eardrum out. Not to smart. It's a vacuum hose, not a phone.

I had a guy in one of my classes who admitted he had that happen to him. Could have been the same guy, but the practice of using the hose as a "phone" is wide spread enough for me to believe its happened more than once.

Fortunately this happened in our Bane years, my oldest son Jeremy had a stuffy nose and attempted relief via the vac hose.

The round purple hickey around his nose only lasted 3 days...
