Today, I was vacuuming our house because I wanted to help my parents. I wore a headset while listening to REALLY loud music. The vacuuming job took me two hours and when I took of my headset I noticed that I hadn't started the vacuum cleaner. FML

Today, I tried out my new noise-canceling headphones while vacuuming my house. They worked so well that I didn't hear the vacuum stop when the plug fell out of the outlet. I accidentally had the vacuum off the entire time. FML

Today, I finally finished vacuuming my downstairs. Instead of finding the wall outlet and unplugging the vacuum, I triumphantly tugged the cord from across the room to release the plug from the wall. It flew at me at top speed and hit me in the face. FML

Today, I bought a new vacuum cleaner after having to go several months without one. Immediately, I wanted to try it out. I must have underestimated how powerful it was, as it sucked up my socks and then broke. FML

Today, I realized just how lonely I am when I started singing and harmonizing with the vacuum cleaner. FML

"If I could turn back time…"

Today, I came into work early to clean equipment, with my headphones on, singing to myself. I lost track of time, and wound up with the entire office watching me belt tunes out. FML

Proper job

Today, with words of encouragement from my mom, I vacuumed my room. After finishing and admiring my job well done, I went to put the vacuum away. It caught on the plug for my electric razor which was dangling below the dresser and yanked that and everything else that was on top of it off. FML

Today, my daughter decided to wake me up by putting the vacuum in my hair and turning it on. FML

Today, my mother woke me up by loudly vacuuming the house. I had to work the next morning, so I asked her what she was thinking. She told me that if I was really tired and needed sleep, I wouldn't have woken up. It was 3 AM. FML

Today, I realized that my baby stops crying loudly whenever I turn on the vacuum cleaner. I'm either stuck with a fussy baby all day, or the roaring sound of a vacuum cleaner. FML

Today, at work, I put my earphones in to listen to some music. An hour later, I realised I never pressed play. FML

Wouldn't you have felt whether or not it was running?

How many times were you running over the same spot of carpet to be vacuuming for two hours and never have to move the vacuum to a different electrical socket? Unless you have the world's longest extension cord, I call fake.

I agree, there is no possible way you didn't know it wasn't on. Idiot.

this is so stupid because in the 2 hours that you supposably vacumed you would of had to change the power points the power chord was in and you would of realised it wasn't on and when you were vacuming you would of realised the dirt and crums were not being picked up

oh and if your house is so big you could afford to pay someone to clean it so you are probably exadurating

I would worry more about your inevitable early-onset deafness than your one failed session of cleaning.

how can it take 2 hours to vacuum your house? unless u live in some 10,000 square foot palace. it takes me MAYBE 7-8 minutes to vac my living room and it's decent sized.. big enough for a large sectional couch, huge overstuffed chair with matching ottoman, 3 end tables and a large coffee table, not to mention 52" lcd plasma and stand
