Why housework is best left to the women

I was working late last night at a customer site where water had entered the roof and rained down upon the area near the servers, to this end, we were relocating the cabinet and the mess of cables that builds up near any poorly organised server area.

Anyway, at one stage, the customer was nearby vacuuming the floor with their new vacuum cleaner. I noticed them complaining that it was difficult to manouver around, and he did indeed seem to be having trouble with it, but I thought nothing of it.

About 5 minutes later, the vacuum falls over with a fairly loud bang, so he turns it off and shakes it, which produces a fairly clunky sound, after agreeing unanimously that this does not sound good, they took the cover off to see what happened.

Inside the chamber were the following:
Dirt
Vacuum cleaner instruction manual
Vacuum cleaner nozzel attachments
Vacuum cleaner wheels
Vacuum cleaner bag (folded up down the bottom)

I am told one of the persons in the company had also emailed the vacuum cleaner vendor complaining about the lack of instructions shipping with the device....

Just goes to show, cleaning is womens work.
