Title: You know you are a sad carpet cleaner.....when
Post by: fenman on March 08, 2009, 02:04:19 pm: When:
Your wife complains that you lavish more attention on your van and kit than you do on her.

When:
You are forced to go shopping with your wife and you spend all your time tut tutting to yourself about the state of the shop`s carpet and the amount of chewing gum.

Any more ?

Your stood in B&Q at the check outl, and you're shaking your head at the "Rug Doctor" stand and making disparaging comments, while your wife bows her head with the embarassment!

Or picking up "Vanish" or "1001" and saying out loud, "They shouldn't be allowed to sell this sh*t!"
