      I’ve had the same Miele since 1992,except for a few minor repairs,it’s like a cockroach you can’t kill it.

      We bought a Miele vacuum in 2000. It still sucks the carpet off the floor…

      That’s great to hear. I’ve had mine for 10 yrs and all I’ve dine is replaced bags and filters

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        When someone says, "I'm just working hard and staying humble."  No you're not.  proclaiming you are staying humble immediately disqualifies you from being humble.

              ^^  Ha!  Sounds about right.  Lately I've had a few messages from people saying they can get the same item, new,  from a store in a different country for only $XX more.  My response continues to be, "Then I recommend you place an order with them before they run out of your size."

                That’s a satisfying line. I have a vacation rental property and people often make lowball offers while stating that another property they are looking at has a better price and they want to “give us a chance” to match it. .  My wife always says “oh wow that’s a great price! you better reserve that now before it’s gone.” Fkn people man…

                  Fun things I've experienced in the last two weeks: Sinus infection, vasectomy, two small kids with sinus infections, and now a tear in my medial ligament thanks to taking a flyer on the icy ground while holding an 8 month old child. The 8 month year old was fine, my knee is not.

                  (I do realise this is more of a whine than a rant but frankly, fuckit).

                    I'd kill for some CCTV footage… Possibly with some sound effects...

                      Sadly no footage. There was a yelp, a crunch and a “faaaarrkkk” and Eddie (8 months old) giggled a bit. Hope that helps.

                          I do to, obviously more than I thought. Otherwise I would’ve dropped him and broken my own fall instead of taking our combined 100kg on my fekkin knee. There’s always a next time though.

                            Aren't babies like bouncing balls?.. Probably hasn't been much research cause selling it'd be hard… "Yes madame so basically we would like to drop your offspring..."

                              I was supposed to get a cleaning at my dentist tomorrow but as luck would have it was able to do it 2 weeks ago because they had a last minute cancellation. I spoke with them on the phone and told them my previous appt for the 29th should've been taken out of their system because I got my cleaning on the 15th. They assured me last week I wasn't in the system. Got a call/appt reminder yesterday…again. Fuuuuuugggg.

                                Damn man. I think this falls under the rant umbrella. It’s quite encompassing.

                                Maybe so. Maybe not

                                  I would respond with, "Based on your message it sounds like you would rather stay at my rental.  I'd like to "give you a chance" to reserve it before I rent it to someone else."

                                  And @neph93 icy road/sidewalk season is coming up fast where I live.  I'm already dreading carrying my 6 month old outside for this very reason.  Trying to protect a tiny human means falling harder and more awkwardly.

                                    that's probably just as satisfying. another fun one that happens is while someone is trying (unsuccessfully) to haggle with us, another person makes a reservation under their nose. " sorry sir/maam, someone else has made a reservation for the dates you wanted. you should probably grab that other rental asap! Mahalo and Aloha!"

                                      I honestly didn't even know haggling the price of vacation rentals was a thing.  Gotta be satisfying when you let someone trying to nickel and dime you the dates are booked already.

                                      Speaking of…  One of the things multiple people have tried to haggle me over just sold to a different buyer for full price, no questions asked.  I'm sure I'll enjoy letting them know the item is no longer available when they ask.
