A Polish worker has come up with an unusual excuse after being caught in the act with a vacuum cleaner. # How About That: More weird news from around the world
The building contractor claimed he was cleaning his underpants with Henry Hoover when he was found naked and on his knees in a hospital's staff canteen.
A stunned security guard stumbled onto the man in the middle of a compromising act with the cleaner, which has a large smiley face painted on its front and a hose protruding from its "nose".
According to the Sun, the contractor was supposed to be locking up the building site near the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital where his firm is refurbishing administration offices.
The security guard, suitably horrified, told the man to "clean himself and the hoover" before asking him to leave and informing his bosses.
When later questioned by his employers, the man said he was vacuuming his underpants, which was "a common practice in Poland". He has since been fired.
The man's employers, HG Construction, told The Sun: "That behaviour is not acceptable, though it gave a few people a laugh". advertisement
Henry Hoover is described on a cleaning website as "famous for its looks, but under its fascia lies a powerful, reliable vacuum cleaner ready to go time and time again."
The man is not the first person to be caught in the act with an inanimate object.
Last year, Robert Stewart was placed on probation for three years after being caught trying to have sex with a bicycle.
The 51-year-old was naked from the waist down when two cleaners walked in on him at the the Aberley House Hostel in south west Scotland.

Well THAT sucks!
Probably sucked to write that article.
OMG it got funnier !
His underpants are nice and clean, though.
I'll have to ask my friend, Dombrosky about this one.
I thought nature *abhorred* a vacuum.
NOT GUILTY!
Nope, not going there, Im not touching it....
Thus the country's name.
These things go in cycles.
“When later questioned by his employers, the man said he was vacuuming his underpants, which was “a common practice in Poland”.”
bound to be a polish joke there
good ones
Those slutty little vacuums are nothing but cheap hose.
It isn't normally considered good advice to place delicate, vascular-rich portions of one's anatomy into devices rated in horsepower. Or into the mouths of largish carnivores. Dang it, if we're gonna have sex education you'd figure they'd at least give the little nippers some practical advice.
I don’t even want to think about how one goes about having sex with a bike.
And I’ll refrain from making jokes about chains, banana seats, lubricants and pumping the tires.
Shaking my head. There are some strange people...At least he didn’t put a wig on the thing. I am glad I didn’t discover the guy.....I think I would still be laughing.
“And in 1993, Karl Watkins, an electrician, was jailed for having sex with pavements in Redditch, Worcs.”
WTF
Is that like “i like to’ear the sound of two bricks smashin together” from monty python
Cruise control anyone?
I refuse to judge someone else’s alternative lifestyle. Anyway, some of those vacuum cleaners are dressed like whores!!! He was practicing safe sex too, he should be applauded!
;-)
Then think about this: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."
FISH <==> BICYCLE SEX.
Look, I told you not to think about it...
So this is a bad thing huh?
And you thought your sons borrowed your vacuum cleaner because you raised them to be neat and tidy didn’t you, pandy. ;^)
Well, you don't have to pay it alimony if the relationship goes sour.
Eww, now if it was Henrietta....
You’re right it did? Sex with the pavement? WTH?
Naughty Nunu
Well, I have vacuumed off my clothing after engaging in very dusty work, but I never dropped trou.
Really, honest, I swear...
I think that would be “ab whored”
NOT GONNA SAY IT...
Best Laugh I had all day, thanks!
