Weaponised incompetence

It’s not just men. We have a younger person on work experience in our charity shop.
I asked her to Hoover the shop.
She did exactly the same as your man but my beef with her was that she was bashing the GTech AirRam that I had given to the shop.
I let my feelings be known 😡

Why was a delivery man hoovering the floor?

My question too Farzanah
How bizarre !
What a strange thread!

Why was a delivery man hoovering the floor?

Great question!

I'd be far more concerned about that!

Why was a delivery man hoovering the floor?

Ours didn't vacuum when they delivered our new bed!
Perhaps I should complain.

Why did the carpet need hoovering 🤷‍♀️

A very bizarre anti men post against n.

Again

Would not want anyone to vacuum I would have said I would do it. He must have asked for the vacuum.

What ARE you moaning about? Or just showing off that you've got a new bed?
Another man-knocking OP no doubt expecting everybody to join in saying how useless men/delivery men/your delivery men are?
Perhaps you think this is "Groansnet"
(And what IS with all the "cues" ?)

OP your way of speaking sounds too elaborate to get the point across in that situation.
But anyway actions speak louder than words.
You could could have taken possession of your hoover and used it yourself.

Perhaps you think this is "Groansnet"

I'm beginning t think it is 😂

why hadn't you hoovered before the bed arrived?

Thank you, that's the term I've been looking for.
As regards the hoovering of the carpet, it's beside the point. It depends what she paid for. Would a man have said please stand aside, I'll do your job for you? It's a valid post.

Hoover your own floor, stop whining. Anyway, why did the delivery man hoover the floor in the first place, that sounds very odd.

I see a lot of people in hospitals and I see this time and time again. Women recovering from operations being looked after by husbands having accidents caused by carelessness by husbands like leaving the bleach bottle open!

My husband does most of the housework, not fantastically well but I don't care as I'm not doing it myself. His particular weaponised incompetence relates to cooking, for example potatoes boiled to the point of transparency, sausages grilled to black. He only reheats meals or soup which he regards as "cooking", but I enjoy cooking so am happy to swap this for housework.

When an old divan type bed is removed you should see what the carpet is like underneath😲so it does need hoovering before the new bed is brought in, but have never had the delivery men offer to do it.
Are you maybe either really old or disabled OP so they were helping you out?

If there was a new bed being delivered presumably the delivery men were removing the old one. I couldn’t move our bed to hoover underneath it, so if I was having a new one the carpet would definitely need hoovering once the old one had gone, it would be very dusty under there.

Well, at least he’s trying 🤭

When we had our old bed taken away there was years of dust underneath. I started hoovering while the delivery men stood waiting with the new bed. They lost patience and took the hoover off me and did the job quicker than I could!

Safe to say most of us are housewives with years of experience. It's hard to relinquish our competent work to others less competent.

I would have just told him to be careful and don't knock the walls and furniture. I don't think I would have known what the OP was talking about.

No, she’s a woman that doesn’t like men. 😂 as she frequently tells us.
