Just needing to vent a little marital rage here. My husband, a 41 year old, highly educated and successful attorney, blew up my Dyson vacuum cleaner last night by incorporating it into his ****-eyed scheme to save water. Though I applaud his motivation (we are in a terrible drought) I am still furious at the stupidity of it all. He decided that he would use the leftover bath water from the kids' evening bath to water his garden. He stuck one end of the garden hose in the bathtub, which is upstairs, then through the bathroom window, down the wall and out into the garden. Then he attached this end to my DYSON to initiate the suction in order to siphon the water into the garden. The vacuum cleaner, of course, quickly filled with water, sparked, shorted out our fuse box, and died. He does not understand why I am angry as this was an "accident". I agreed to "for better or for worse, in sickness and health" but what about "throughout bouts of insane idiocy and thoughtlessness"? Did I agree to that? Sheesh.

That sounds like an episode of "Home Improvement"
That is hilarious.0 -
That is hilarious! Well, you know now he's no Engineer huh?!0
-
Don't be mad at the guy though.
He was just trying to help.0 -
Perhaps a wet/dry shop vac along with a new Dyson? That's a little bit crazy though! Don't let him do anything electrical.0
-
That is awesome!0

This is the same guy who, at the age of 23, stuck 2 keys in an electrical socket to see what would happen. He hasn't done that since.0

Oh wow. Hilarious to me but if it was my Dyson heads would roll. Those things are pricey (hence the reason I do not actually own one).0

It sounds like he needs a sammich. :frown:0
-
:laugh: This sounds like some hair brained scheme that my husband would come up with. I'm not sure if I should laugh because there are more men like him or cry because there are more men like him...0

Today you are rightfully pissed. But in about a year or so, this will magically transform into one of the funniest stories EVER. We can all see how funny it is now, bc it wasn't our $400 that bought that Dyson......LOL0
-
Take it easy on him. At least he was trying to be inventive :-)0
-
I probably should fear for my life now.0
-
Where I live it's $0.06 a litre.
I don't blame him.0 -
looool that's hilarious! My partner cracked the barrel on my dyson a couple of weeks ago (he's not allowed to use it anymore) but yours takes the cake! too funny0
-
For once in my life, I'm thankful I came from a cracker background where we know how to siphon!0
-
Just goes to show you your attorney husband isn't a rocket scientist!! Seriously, water & electricity - what was he thinking??? Why do you think they put warnings on hair dryers??!0
-
Oh man this totally sounds like something my fiance would do. I caught him using my hairdryer on our chicken dinner one night to "make the skin crispy."
While I applaud his effort.....whatever happened to a bucket?! He could have saved water AND burned some major calories running up and down the stairs and out to the garden0 -
Oh my GAWD! I would be so pissed, too. As long as he replaced ASAP! I'd let it go. I'm sure he feels stupid enough. LOL The Dyson is the diamond of all vacuums... I feel your pain.0
-
:laugh: OMGoodness!!! Yes, that is HILLARIOUS!!! :laugh:
But seeing as how expensive Dyson's are??? Yep, I'd be ticked, too!!!Make him buy you a new one!!! The top of the line one, at that!!!
