It is very normal to record yourself while vacuuming. Never know might catch the end of the world on camera. /s

u/Plenty-Telephone7152 21h ago

Some people record themselves vacuuming so they can watch it later and use it to improve their form. Also if you happen to have a personal housework trainer, they can give you pointers

u/slow-mickey-dolenz 20h ago

True story. My vacuum game was complete garbage until I started recording it. Now, I’m in the top 50% on my block.

u/Poor-Judgements 19h ago edited 19h ago

But now you need to start thinking about what you need to do to be in the top 5%. Don't let one tiny success hold you back from achieving what's truly important. You need to dominate. Paralyze their motivation and start to morally and mentally dismantle them.

u/FlyAirLari 19h ago

I'm taking lessons and my coach told me I don't rotate my hips enough. If I fix my form, maybe add some strength so I can push and pull harder, I think I have a shot at making the team this year.

u/drippyba62 18h ago

You need to really want it though.

u/TraditionalPen2076 18h ago

Ikr. Most of these wankers aren't even passionate about it and go in just because it's cool. Vaccuming is an art

u/AngryGiraffe- 11h ago

I’ve heard of you! Any chance you would be into teaching/training me? I would gladly pay for your time.

u/teensyboop 11h ago

Wait… is this THE Slow Mickey ‘the dustbuster’ Dolenz?!? The ‘02 ‘03 and ‘04 golden vacuum champion !!!

Absolute legend, really cleaned up.

u/RBuilds916 10h ago

That's nothing, I'm in the top 80%!

u/Miserable_Rube 7h ago

Too many gamers are focused on the exciting micro of vacuuming, they wanna rush every corner camping dust bunny when they should be focusing on macro.

I hate all these Instagram bimbos who vacuum in suggestive clothes so they can shout at men who glance at them.

We're all here to vacuum; leave your cameras off.

u/fancylances 20h ago

a lot of people don’t know this

u/skolrageous 19h ago

so this lady is just the Tom Brady of vacuuming. Spending all that time reviewing tape just so she can be the goat of vacuuming.

37

u/tanafras 18h ago

I earned my vacuuming badge while I was 14, in a bowling alley, using an industrial vacuum.

Most people don't start in Pro series vacuuming like I did or even at such an early age, so it's nice to see folks learning when they aren't in their prime.

Keep recording vacuum lady. You're doing great.

See you on the carpet sometime.

10

u/charlie2135 18h ago

Actually brought back memories of helping my parents clean their business when I was that age. Using an industrial buffer you learned to control it by lightly lifting or lowering the handle.

Always funny when an older, larger person would get thrown around thinking it was easy.

2

u/tanafras 18h ago

Ah yes the old upsie downsie. Watching folks much bigger than me get jerked off side to side was fun for sure. At the alley moving the beer kegs was really the only hard thing to do. Cleaning the ball return machine was somewhat dangerous. Clearning pinsetting errors could at time be definitely dangerous. Especially when the pinsetting mechanism hooked. The oil machine was a delight.

Oh, and all you "the lane is dry" "too much oil" people out there... Ya wrong. The lanes are stripped and reoiled nightly. Ya just suck.

2

u/charlie2135 18h ago

Funny as my buddies that worked at the bowling alley were usually soused. Now I know why.

2

u/tanafras 14h ago

Our alley order was coke 1st, pot 2nd, beer 3rd, mixers 4th. So much coke in the late 80s early 90s.

u/Useful-Rooster-1901 18h ago

shop vac working at the olive garden was my first love. It had a backpack

backpack

Bruh that's the dream

I got my first vacuuming badge at 11 in a Jon Boat whilst catching my first PB smallie

You merely adopted the vacuum, i was born in it, molded by it..

u/CountWubbula 18h ago

You’d know better than I as a pro, but look at her form.

Wouldn’t you say that she sucks? 😏

Jayden Daniels vacuums in VR to elevate his game.

u/Deaffin 16h ago

I love how we've gotten to a point where we just don't even complain about the vote-botted spam content anymore, and just embrace it to make our own fun out of the situation. That's nice for us.

More like Lance Right-Armstrong judging by her performance.

Lmaooooo Tom Brady of vacuuming is funnnyyy

u/Mr_Goonman 19h ago

I would beamazed if true

u/TrueTurtleKing 20h ago

People don’t appreciate what we have today. My mom used to tell me before digital media was available she used to call her relatives to come critique her vacuuming forms.

She’s not even wearing proper vacuuming clothing. Tsk.

u/TheBestAtWriting 19h ago

she's just vacuuming for show; construction workers and farmers do functional vacuuming that's actually much cleaner than this

It’s a fetish. There’s a whole online community dedicated to vacuum form.

I cannot tell if this whole thread is just troll fun or real. This is how weird the world is to me lately.

Just Google vacuum porn and you'll see. Oh... you'll see....

Why did I do it? It's 8.17am and already today is ruined.

u/coolcalmaesop 20h ago

Is this real? I would rather teach people to clean for a living than clean for them lol

8

u/ariellake83 20h ago

Are you in NY? Would hire

9

u/coolcalmaesop 20h ago

I’m up in Maine but this might be a great business idea. I could never get into the influencing schtick, I’ve tried to film “content” and take before and after pictures but it’s always felt like a waste of time especially because I’m not doing it with the goal of being a social media content creator. I’d love to teach people how to clean though. When I worked for another company I would train new employees by having them just hang out with me for the first couple hours while I show and tell them what to do and how to do it (and why).

7

u/ariellake83 20h ago

Honestly I think it would be. I have a Pinterest board dedicated to cleaning house and I still struggle. I struggle with cleaning and organizing big time. When you start your channel, I will absolutely follow you!

6

u/Plenty-Telephone7152 19h ago

You know the old saying:

give a man a clean, and he is clean for a day; teach a man to clean, and you clean him for a lifetime

u/coolcalmaesop 19h ago

Instructions unclear, somehow I’ve ended up with a fish in my clients vacuum cleaner.

2

u/Electronic-Stand-148 19h ago

It’s true. Proper form is crucial. Could tear an ACL if you’re not careful.

u/j_lee1958 19h ago

uh what? you can't be serious...

2

u/GlKar 19h ago

Been recording myself for years now. My initial vacuuming average was 20 minutes, due to my filming i do the same in 18 minutes & 32 seconds. Been a huge improvement. I’m applying for the vacuuming world championship.

1

u/AssumeTheFetal 19h ago

I have mirrors on all my walls to check while vacuuming. Slipped a few disks trying for new PR's with poor form.

1

u/Ghosts_of_the_maze 19h ago

Can’t get complacent. The standard needs to be growth.

1

u/LongjumpingFold3219 19h ago

Cleaning services hate this one simple trick

1

u/EctoRiddler 19h ago

This is how I improved my dish placement skills in the dishwasher. I would rewatch my placement of the dishes every night and really analyzing the water flow. I watch those recordings today and laugh at putting my cereal bowl on the bottom rack.

u/Toymachinesb7 18h ago

I’m dead lmfao

u/Public_Resident2277 18h ago

This sounds so sarcastic but it's also 2025 so I'd believe it.

u/Fast-Concentrate-132 18h ago

Please tell me you're joking.

u/The_Livid_Witness 17h ago

Some people record themselves vacuuming so that they can watch it later and use it to improve their sex life.

u/somerandommystery 11h ago

You people with carpet should practice groom lines, it’s so satisfying to make perfect triangles on carpet…

I’m a professional housekeeper… and I’m so good at it, I try to teach the trainees, but it takes years to master… I do it so perfect, but it only works on certain carpets.

Kids.

Although I do sleep eat if it's next to me.

Honestly figured she was filming a TikTok of herself doing chores with some narration over it but then this happened

24

u/Pestle-and-mortal 18h ago

No of course not, she's been there vacuuming the same spot teaching her 10 month old how to walk to her on command for the last 18hrs! But the wily internet detectives are on her tail, don't worry. We're way too clever and nothing ever happens.

oh hell naw you ain't stealing my lungs (asdfmovie reference)

1

u/Background-Gear-8805 9h ago

This woman was likely filming her child with the intention of catching their first steps. Parents usually know when they are coming because the child usually starts standing on two feet regularly.

The shitty title is the work of a reddit content farmer with almost 300,000 post karma. Ya'll are really bitter and cynical.

1

u/MaxHamburgerrestaur 17h ago

TBF, I totally see myself using the baby monitor to record the baby on the floor while I'm doing chores.

I use my camera on the kitchen to check the pasta on my phone.

u/DillyWillyGirl 11h ago

I make money dogsitting on the side and I am in so many houses with furbos I always assume this is something like that.

u/TunaMeltEnjoyer 21h ago

I always record myself vacuuming, gotta see if my form is ok.

2

u/song_pond 20h ago

Lots of people record themselves doing chores - I’ve done it to try and “race the clock” because it hijacks my ADHD. Get as much done as I can before I record 1 minute at 3x speed or whatever. I generally delete it immediately because it’s served its purpose.

4

u/Iamverycurious101 21h ago

That's what I was thinking

1

u/ProjectOrpheus 20h ago

It's very normal to place cameras around the house hoping to catch the babies first steps, yeah.

1

u/Pretty_Inspection779 20h ago

Daily vlogging of vacuuming is exploding on OF.

1

u/Vaporeonbuilt4humans 20h ago

Could be a security camera or a bay camera. I know some families that have them littered through the house

1

u/StardewMelli 20h ago

Jokes aside, I did the exact same thing when my children were that age. Both of them loved chasing the vacuum cleaner(crawling) and I wanted to capture the moment to show their grandparents :)

1

u/toolsoftheincomptnt 19h ago

If you stay at home with your kid, chances are you can tell when they’re about to start walking (shocking, I know).

In the era of incessant self-recording ice buckets, dances, sandwich-making, makeup application, gang-banging, pranking, chewing, driving in circles… is it really a stretch that a parent might put a camera up with hopes that it’ll eventually catch first steps?

It’s actually a fairly wholesome use of this toxic technology we use.

1

u/Jab1002 19h ago

She could have been filming a day in the life vlog

1

u/Educational-Night878 19h ago

At the perfect angle too! And no it’s not a security camera it’s far too low.

1

u/virtual-hermit- 19h ago

To be fair, if she was specifically trying to capture this moment on video, it is something that really does happen randomly. All of a sudden, kid just gets up and starts walking. Lol. It's like a switch flips and suddenly they just.. do it.

I did my first steps for the babysitter and it was way back when there weren't cameras in everyone's pockets, so the only person who saw it was my 15 year old babysitter from down the street whose name I don't even remember. Lmao. My parents were pissed.

1

u/Lazy-Swordfish-5466 19h ago

Damn, y'all. It could have been one of those pet cameras. It could he a video monitor it's at baby level.

Jeez the internet sucks.

1

u/myoutiefightscrime 19h ago

And I'm not a parent, but is it common to put your baby on the floor next to where you're vacuuming? I feel like minimally it would be loud and dust/dirt particles could be flying around.

1

u/Orangeborange 19h ago

I wouldn't 😂. Nearby? Yes. Not right where I need to clean.

Then you have the added work of moving them while you clean up.

1

u/MememeSama 19h ago

It is normal. But normally they don't wear pants

1

u/LaRealiteInconnue 19h ago

It’s funny that you say that but I sometimes film myself cleaning and talk it through like I’m a cleaning influencer (I’m not LOL) because that’s the only thing that motivates me. It’s like body-doubling without another body haha

1

u/ski3600 19h ago

And this same god-damn pianist was there once again to provide the right mood.

1

u/Scuba-Steven 18h ago

This camera is pointing directly at the front door. Cynicism incorrectly applied is just bitterness

1

u/boot2skull 18h ago

This is why I hate vacuuming, it takes so long, setting up the camera in each room.

1

u/TomMakesPodcasts 18h ago

The baby is a paid actor!

u/AngryPrincessWarrior 18h ago

I mean the front door is right there, makes sense lol.

You have no idea how many different tricks i have learnt about cleaning mirrors, thanks to women wearing transparent "clothes" with nothing underneath. Bless their ❤️ for recording.

1

u/No-Consideration1645 17h ago

Probably filming a tiktok of some sort about what they do in a day.

1

u/GreenFromage 16h ago

That's where the twin tower footage came from

1

u/AngryRedHerring 16h ago

Or it's a motion-triggered security cam set to watch the front door.

How devastating it would be to record the end of the world & not have anyone to show it to. 🤔

1

u/KeiFeR123 16h ago

LOL...the camera is pointing at the bottom of the stairs. Probably to monitor and make sure the baby does not climb up.

1

u/Winning-Turtle 15h ago

My friend will record herself cleaning a room and play it back fast. She has ADHD and said it feels like the body doubling strategy and gives her a dopamine hit; whatever works for ya!

I have a camera positioned there to be sure the dog sitter doesn't go upstairs.

1

u/Loucalorca 13h ago

Exactly

1

u/Background-Gear-8805 9h ago

Sheesh you people are dense and cynical. She was almost certainly recording the child because she felt their first steps were coming soon. She isn't the one posting it right now though, this wonderful title is the work of a karma farmer with almost 300,000 post karma.

1

u/Bee_kind_rewind 8h ago

This should be a commercial for Dyson!! See it’s worth the price tag, it will entice your baby to walk!

u/Pugtastic_smile 6h ago

I'm wondering if she wasn't reviewing the vacuum for a video
