Hello people,

As you can see by my pic i have a Hoover 800 and an 825,

Here is my little problem,and its seriously bugging me lol.

When i invite friends round and this happens often they have no place to hang their coats and seem to use my 800 and 825 as a bloody hat and coats stand!!!!!!

This seems to happen very often and the amount of times I have had to tell someone off for doing this I can not count!!!(coat zips can scratch!! and metal buttons)

Does this happen to any of you guy's?

Next time this happens im tempted to switch my vacs on and shread their coats up and suck the buttons off!!!!it beats as it sweeps as it shreads!!!! :-/

Hi Mark,

I would tell them point blank to please refrain from doing that or leave. I know friends are great to have but they can be replaced easily while your old vacs can't be.

I am sure they would not want you hanging your coat on an expensive lamp when you visit them at their house.

So to me the same rule should apply at yours.

Hi gary,

You are so correct,you know even first time visitors do it when they come to visit,weird because i dont see a sign saying cloak room on the Hoover bag's!

I think people do this because they see the tall handles and dont look to see what their attached too.(no exscuse though)

There also near a door as well,going to move them away from the door area!and put them into a corner.

I'd rather keep my friends than the vacuums.

 

Why not just move the vacuums or put some coat hooks up? Or offer to take their coat when they arrive and put it where ever it's meant to be?

why not just tell them?

why not just tell them as soon as they put the coat onto the vacuum? or what illd do is when they sat down grab their coats and dump them in front of them lol
