You know you are a sad carpet cleaner.....when
« 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 ?

Actually identifying the carpet and also looking at items on shelves and seeing if you can adapt them to fit other purposes relating to cleaning.

When:

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!"

....you're out for a drink with friends and the friends are telling the landlord that the landlord should get you in to clean the carpets.
