Guest Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Carperpetuation - n. The act, when vacuuming, of running over a string at least a dozen times, reaching over and picking it up, examining it, then putting it back down to give the vacuum one more chance. (how many of us haven't done that???) Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Spot on, Phil! Sometimes I even help by twisting a cotton thread into a ball, then as you say, placing it back in front of the vac! Learnt early on, first house, white thread on plain brown carpet Hard word to say, but very good definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
