Hilarious screwup with a Hoover commercial vac in my Seattle office clean - $500 lesson learned

So I'm in the Seattle area, zone 6 rains make everything a muddy mess, and I grab my Hoover PowerDrive commercial vac for a big office clean last week. Figured it'd suck up the carpet stains no problem, but I overlooked the extension cord and tripped right into a client's desk, knocking over their $500 monitor. Had to eat the cost out of pocket, FML, but now I double-check my setup every time. Watched a video from CleanFreak on YouTube about cord management after that - total game changer. Moral of the story: rushing a $2k job can cost you big if you're not careful with the basics. NGL, laughed about it later with the crew.

man that sounds like every time i trip over my own feet on a job site, feel your pain brother

screw these clients leaving crap everywhere, makes our jobs a minefield. hoover or not, its on them half the time.

god damn it, i hate when the vac cords turn into tripwires, wasted half my morning untangling last clean.
