A long handled dustpan and brush very much like this..
A few years ago I purchased a long handle dustpan and brush very ,much like the one above. This was a journey that was to end messily and sadly rather violently.
At first the brush set was good. But soon, problems began to occur. Firstly, the bristles hung on to much of the dust and fluff, so much of it didn’t make it into dustpan.... a major flaw.
And then, things started to fall apart in our relationship. Or rather, the dustpan and brush used to fall apart. The handle falling off the end of the dustpan was how it started, but then it got worse
Until, a situation was reach where the dustpan and brush met their violent end. Whilst sweeping our conservatory (which was very dusty for reasons I can’t remember), a critical failure of the device occurred.
Firstly, the dust pan fell off the end of the pole. Then the brush fell off the end of its pole. Next the handle fell off the far end of the brush’s pole and finally the handle fell off the end of the dustpan’s pole.
Only four critical failures were possible, and all four happened whilst I was trying to sweep a very small conservatory.
And I’m afraid at this point violence occurred. I’m ashamed to say that I ended the career of the dustpan and brush set as I saw the red mist. In a fit off blind rage I repeatedly jumped up and down on the set, smashing the plastic appendages, and then buckling the metal poles over leg like some imp like Incredible Hulk.
And it was a beautiful moment.
