4. I considered allergies
But really, is more than once a day going to help that much?

I am leaning towards your second guess. They are some noisy idiots, thumping around at all hours.

12. seems like having to vacuum that much would make allergies worse...
....fact is...they spew out almost as much dirt and dust as they pick up sometimes...I was a FILTER QUEEN SALESWOMAN ONCE so I know these things!! :D

8. Our neighbor
was vacuuming in the middle of the night.

This was between noisy , drunken parties and screaming-sex sessions.

Maybe yours is just a clean freak? :shrug:

11. the vacuum will only pick up dirt
it won't get stains and stuff out.

do they have kids?

when my son was little i was constantly sweeping (hard wood floors)
and mopping.

16. oops, I didn't mean to disturb you
True confession, I am an obsessive vacuumer in part because of my beloved but ever-shedding canines.

To me, a made bed and a vacuumed floor make the house so clean. I have an upstairs vac, a downstairs vac, and several handy small ones for stairs, small clean-ups and just because I'm sick in the head.

I have been through Hoovers, Wind Tunnels, Panasonics, Dirt Devils and now Orecks. I understand Hoover makes a new quiet one ... hmmm.

:crazy: Time for some meds!
