There I was doing my chores and getting aerobic with the vacuum cleaner when all of a sudden there was the most hideous clanking sound as I sucked up something that I shouldn't. I switched off and began my examination. Small, highly polished pieces of steel shrapnel poured out of the vacuum tube and I realised that I had a jewelry calamity on my hands. Somehow, a necklace had been left lying about and Mr Hoover had digested it spitting out the bits that he didn't want. Now I have to explain to one of my womenfolk how this accident happened. I shall live I expect. After all, it shouldn't have been on the floor in the first place. Have you ever sucked up anything interesting in your vacuum cleaner?

I know that sound you speak of. I liken it to that of fingernails down a chalkboard... only not quite as chilling.

The strangest thing I got with my vacuum of late, was a cat toy. Thankfully, only a dollar store toy... but still, her favourite. Stick with a string with a ball that rattles at the end of the string. Apparently, the string is NOT strong enough to handle the vacuum going over it. Now we all know.

It's one of those "Oh No" moments. Should I ever buy a cat I shall remember that advice. My sister used to vacuum her cat. It got some perverse pleasure from it. Or maybe she did. One of them did anyway!!

If things get left on the floor then it's not the vacuumer's fault that they get sucked up. I shall just have to hope for a spanking Lamb. LOL. XX

Lol Pikefish that is hilarious Good Discussion, Im sure you will get alot of good and funny answeres here. Well I have sucked up many items with my hoover. The one that made me laugh the most and I actually was a bit scared was when it sucked up a pile of platic bags I had placed behind my trash can in the kitchen. I couldnt get them out of the vacume they were stuck. I think I had to wait for my husband to get home to acutally take apart the whole darn thing to get them out. I have picked up alot more things but to me that was the funneiest. Im sure who ever that necklace belonged to they will understand I just hope it wasnt a diamond necklace.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 455 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I suppose that's one way to make sure that you've always got a bag in your vacuum Caroll. LOL. It wasn't diamonds thank goodness. Just some cheap costume jewelry I think.

You're right, it shouldn't have been on the floor. I have a wee son....yea..I've sucked up some pretty strange things, including small pretty stones, acorns, and miscellaneous bite size treats of whatever origin. Small wheels off of miniature cars, etc. You name it, I've probably had it in the vacuum. LOL! HOw are you today my brother?


myLot reputation of 77/100. MYKLJ999_VERSION_2 (2961)  4 years ago

Hi Mrs Irishfrndly65 person!


myLot reputation of 93/100. Irishfrndly65 (8534)  4 years ago

What you doing up so early? I've not heard from our kitty friend.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 455 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

You sucked up you son Dahr'lin Sis? LOL. Yep, I've sucked some of those things up too. Rosie is fine, I spoke to her earlier. Just not here much this week she says.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Irishfrndly65 (8534)  4 years ago

OH good, I was getting a bit concerned...not seeing her around. I emailed but I guess she's not on the computer much. Glad to hear all is well!!! Whew, what a relief.

when my daughters were little and played with barbies and bratz, they used to bring everything down to the living room to play with and i was always sucking up tiny shoes and whatnot. i could have started an doll accessory store no doubt.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 455 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

And I bet they were always looking for shoes etc too. LOL.

Hi Pqkef1sh,
I hope it wasn't anything you bought her it will have sentimental value she may cry and then you will have to go out and buy her another one. I hope you can find her the same one. LOL (darn vacuum cleaners). Have a good day hopefully she wont be too upset.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 455 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I think that it was an old one of my daughter's. She's at university and so I don't think that this one had much of an attachment for her.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patriciaqualls (4590)  4 years ago

Oh whew!! That is good news.

My Kenmore shows me no mercy here either. I have found the remains of earrings in my reservoir. The phone number of the hot boy in grade 9 accidentally got obliterated in there to the great sorrow of my 13 year old. LOL There is a sewing needles permanently lodged in the nozzle.

The worst was when I sucked up a beer cap that got super suck in the tube. It took open vacuum surgery to remove the foreign object. The investigation into the owner of the cap is on going as I haven't drank in three years.

I hope that the necklace was not too important. However you can hand over the vacuum duty to the complainer.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 455 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

You sucked up the phone number of the hot boy!!! My goodness, she'll never find love now and that horrid popular girl will get him and it will be all your FAULT!!! I'm going to my room. SLAM!!!! LOL. Been there. ROFL! I don't think that it was a treasured necklace. It wouldn't have been there if it was. Too late now anyway!
