@chai2,
Is it me or are those hand held Shark vacuums (or similar) the most useless thing ever?
I bought one once years ago, and realized how stupid they are. I think I saw one at my mothers house once, she must have gotten it as a gift because I don't remember ever seeing her cleaning.
A few weeks ago Wally came home with "Shark Pet Perfect II" all excited. This will take up the cat hair!
Yeah, sure.
The way they generally work is you run it over the hair/other stuff at all different angles, eventually give up, get a broom and dustpan, or damp cloth to get it off the furniture.
When he first brought it home (stupid thing cost about $60, I just looked it up) I heard him using it a couple of times. He asked me "how is this thing working for you?" I said "I don't use it, they're stupid" I don't think he's used it since.
