Stupid little things that bug you

[Kirkstall Blue]

Working in an electrical retail background for over 20 years people who call vacuum cleaners Hoovers.

Unless you are actually buying a Hoover vacuum cleaner they should never be referred as Hoovers

I always call it a hoover, vacuum cleaner is two words
