To despise bits that refuse to be vacuumed off the carpet?

[AgentZigzag]

Doesn't get sucked up first time over it, try again.

Once more for luck.

Another because you'll be fucked if you're going to bend down and pick it up.

Try shifting it with your foot.

Can't leave it you've spent too much time trying to shift it.

Hands and knees scratching at it with your nail

I wouldn't know, I have a Dyson animal

YABU

I get the kids together and play the 'picking up game'

Mind you, my 19yr old doesn't find it as much fun as he used to

Bluetack in the carpet.Aaargh.
DS has a red hairy Ikea rug in his room and it is covered in bits of Bluetack that welds itself like its been soldered.
Only alternative is cutting the darn stuff out.
