That Sucks!
That sucks.
It’s what you say when something is bad or unpleasant.
Unless, of course, you’re talking about your vacuum.
In which case, “It doesn’t suck” means that it’s bad.
The thought of buying a new vacuum sucks.
Most of my house has hard floors.
I don’t want to pour out several hundred dollars for an appliance that doesn’t get a whole lot of use.
But still, that very small carpeted space in the house does need a vacuum.
That sucks.
But then I got the brilliant idea to watch a YouTube video.
It showed me how to take the vacuum apart, find the problem, fix it, and put the whole thing back together.
Now it sucks.
My only advice to you is to do this outdoors.
I did it in my office and now every single surface is covered with vacuum schmutz.
I am also covered in vacuum schmutz.
I probably should have done this before my shower, not after.
At any rate, my vacuum sucks.
And that doesn’t suck.
