He gives me the creeps

Pelo22 · 13/12/2022 20:11

Mine fell over too much so I kicked him. He lives with my dad now, who adores him, and I have a shark Grin

I have the pneumatic George 3-in-1 ( vacuum, carpet shamoo-er and suckie up water )

It is like a bloody workout !
The vacuum is really powerful but if I use him on stairs I need to get someone to hold him in case he falls on me and makes it look like a terrible accident !

I thought the thread was going to be about elf on the shelf or Alexa

“Alexa you weirdo” is a common cry in our house

I've got Henry's little brother, James. He's bright yellow.

I'm thinking of saving up for a back pack vacuum.

I’ve never heard of a backpack vacuum but guessing this is for pretending you’re a Ghostbuster?

ASDADHDBAME · 13/12/2022 20:21

I think he's alluring!

CharlotteStreetW1 · 13/12/2022 20:21

Someone in here once described him as a "recalcitrant toddler" which is perfect.

I hate the little fucker.

Fairyliz · 13/12/2022 20:22

Blimey is that meant to be a cheeky grin? Looks more like a serial killers smile to me.
Just watch out that cord doesn’t ‘accidentally’ become wrapped around your neck in the middle of the night op. 😮

oakleaffy · 13/12/2022 20:22

Aww I think he's lovely! 💕

TheLadyOfHay · 13/12/2022 20:25

Looks like a cocklodger to me, put him in the shed with his smirky smile

dancinfeet · 13/12/2022 20:27

I got a Hetty simply because my Henry broke and I didn’t like the way he looked at me

BackInTheDales · 13/12/2022 20:28

He would need a massive penis beaker 😂

Filthy looking beast.

OhForCodsHake · 13/12/2022 20:29

LTB - just because of the sex face Smile

PraiseTheSunshine · 13/12/2022 20:30

Mine fell down the stairs the other day, he must have already started on the Christmas sherry.

Poor Henry. His only crime is to share a name with a certain red haired prat. I’ll gladly take him off you.

He got wedged on the corner and sat grinning at me. 😡

He would have you down the stairs and make it look like an accident!

LTB!

Bluevelvetsofa · 13/12/2022 20:43

Hetty is just the same. She barks my shins every time I use her. DH deals with her now and she has to sort out the aftermath of cleaning the fireplace

Pretty sure he would ask for a name change if he could. (The plug in one!)

HotMess21 · 13/12/2022 21:01

Mine is called Hate Henry, which I very much do. Bloated, cumbersome, heavy, useless twatting thing 🤬

Want2beme · 13/12/2022 21:05

Mine terrifies my poor, defenceless cat. What a liberty!

DesertIslandCondiment · 13/12/2022 21:05

I'm always telling mine off but he's like part of the family.

TheNoodlesIncident · 13/12/2022 21:07

I knew before I opened the thread that you were meaning Henry!

We had one - well, we still do, but DH keeps him out in his man-shed/garden office which is full of machines like mills and lathes. Henry gets to suck up swarf and teeny tiny electronic components. I hated him as he wouldn't lift anything from the carpets until we added a beater bar to the end of the hose. Improved performance but noise levels became intolerable, hence his removal to the dread shed.

Henry gets up to all-sorts of shenanigans on Instagram:

SusanPerbCallMeSue · 13/12/2022 21:23

How could you! Henry is the perfect man! Does the cleaning with a smile on his face at all times and never complains. I love my Henry.

YABVVVVU. Henry should throw you out! Henry, LTB!

OrlandointheWilderness · 13/12/2022 21:39

Fucking hate Henry. Can't make it around a corner without falling over.
