13 Little Exasperations Life Likes To Throw Our Way
It's not just you.

13. The Hoover Reaching The Penultimate Step
Yes, it's the penultimate step - when the nozzle just doesn't quite make it all the way up to the top of the staircase and, stretched as much as you can, you realise you must re-evaluate your position. Conquer this and you've made it to the fabled 'landing' - fail and you'll find yourself traipsing back down the stairs to unplug the hoover, carrying it all the way up to the landing, rooting around for a plug you're unsure even exists, and beginning the whole process again from the top down because that whole little charade has got the stairs dirty again. Ugh.
