If I vacuum up an amazing large and icky spider will it die in the bag?
Or breed and come out and haunt me again. Or if I empty the bag will it
crawl out on me as I do it?

BTW, I really hate spiders.

Thanks - I figured out I will never know however. I took the running
vacuum out to the garage, had it inhale a can of bug spray and left it
running (still running) When my big bad manly neighbor comes home I will
ask him to throw the bag away for me. Sometimes it pays to be a girl.

Make sure you are handing him a cold beer when you ask. Just sayin'.

And the propellant in bug spray is usually flammable. Never do that again.

I doubt it would survive the trip to the bag, either, but nothing should be
going through the fan blades apart from air. I'm guessing you're not the one
who uses/maintains the vacuum cleaner in your house.

Fan blades? BWAHAHAHAHAHA! A vacuum cleaner fan draws air out of the
chamber, causing a "vacuum". The dust and debris are drawn by the vacuum
down the pipe into the bag, NOT passing through the fan.

I hate spiders too. Sometimes I ask the girl next door to kill one
for me.

Bottom line, the spider when through the fan in all likelihood.

Why is this such a difficult concept for you people? Jesus.

Most people don't use canister vacuums anymore. Not since the 70s anyway.
What fucking decade do YOU live in?

Yeah, you and me both.

I think I have a little of most of the usual instinctive human fears
in me. Spiders (or other potentially poisonous creatures), heights,
loud noises, meeting Beldin...

Probably, I was thinking of a different type of vacuum cleaner.

Canister vacuums operate the way you stated, but they are increasingly
uncommon. I assumed Susan uses an upright.

Thanks everyone -

to Dave - yes it is a canister vacuum - and having to choose between a

And Vince, my neighbor just came over and after he stopped laughing at me,
turned off the vacuum took it outside, did whatever he did, and assured me
my worries were over. Love macho men.

I really really really hate spiders.

I'm totally with you on that. Most of the spiders (usually fairly
small) I find in my house get glassed and fucked out the window, which
isn't as bad as it sounds.

Did I ever tell you my spider story from Australia? They've got shit
over there I wasn't expecting on my bedroom wall one balmy summer's
night I can tell you. Man, that fight to the death was epic.

I stand corrected. I'm more familiar with the horizontal vacuum cleaner, and
given the number of small objects we've vacuumed up over when we had small
children I now understand why the uprights failed so quickly. Live and
learn...

"What <expletive optional> country" would be a better question. AFAIA
cylinder vacuum cleaners remain the most popular design in most countries.

re the spider in Au?

It sure is! I think it's the best spider story ever but then after
that I thought - What if William Coleman has told a spider story on
RGP before? Well then *that* would be the best spider story ever.
Because it was by William Coleman. So I guess I better just not tell
mine, for fear of being embarrassed for introducing it has the best
Spider V Man (this thing was the size of your fuckin hand) story ever.

No need to apologise - no-one holds your parochialism against you. And I'm
sure uprights will catch on elsewhere, too, just as soon as people realise
that it's a good thing for small objects and fan blades to interact.

I was going to explain to the boy that it came from the days of
primitive computers where we didn't have them fancy emoticans so we
only used what was on the keyboard.

It's hard to keep up.
For a few months now, I've seen our President and his administration
refereed to as SCOAMF.

Some kind soul just explained it the other day.
It's Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure.

huh? It's a play, a comedy, it ends however the script
