The constant search for the newest “labor-saving device”, combined with the intellectual depth of a soap bubble.

The last words before the end of all life as we know it will be: I wonder what this does….

This is “King of the Hill” territory, I can definitely imagine Hank Hill having the same revelation about the proper way to clean a house. “Hey, I have this brand new 1,000 horsepower lawn blower that’ll like, blow *every living thing* off my lawn, how about I clean out my garage using it?!” But I think even Hank would have had a brief pause before using it to clean out a house. A *brief* pause, mind you. But still a pause :).

Are these people aware that they are a living, breathing stereotype? Just askin’ ;).

I don’t want to rent to anyone. Renters are a worthless lot, after all I’m one of them.

I fix them, I don’t chose the people who live there – that’s my Mother’s department.

Bryan, are you suuuure you want to rent the apartment to these folks?

My Mother hates dust and is constantly doing battle with it. On a regular basis appliances are moved so they can be cleaned under and behind. It bothers her knowing that there is dust there, even if no one can see it.

At some point she decided that moving the refrigerator was too much for my Dad, but the dust was nagging at her, so she decided to blow it out so it could be eliminated.

There was, indeed, dust under the refrigerator and she got to eliminate it from every surface in the house after she forced it into the “wild”.

It is also not a good idea to attempt to clean soot out of the chimney of the fireplace with a leaf blower, especially if you forget to open the damper.

There. I ranted. Don’t feel better. I’m going to bed….or to pick up a leaf blower to passive aggressively bother the neighbors…oh, hell…forget the passive. Feeling simply aggressive. RRRRRRRRR.

Ohhh…… Kaaaaay…

There is a certain spore (bacterium) that when ingested in even small amounts can (usually) cause respiratory failure (paralysis) or cardiac arrest. It’s not that uncommon in old buildings apparently… just a… word of caution, you know… Just trying to help. 😉 I learned about it from a certain E. European acquaintance in the 80’s. Ahem.

A leafblower… right. *shaking head*
