Hoovering After Hours

Security guards must spend many hours wandering there posts, bored bored bored. But every now and again, the pendulum swings quite far in the other direction.

In this story, our friendly neighborhood security guard was making the rounds at the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. The administration offices are being refurbished and it isn't uncommon to come upon a worker staying a bit late.

But what our guard found was quite unique.

A man, the building contractor, was naked on his knees in the hospital's staff canteen. And he wasn't alone. With him? Henry Hoover, the friendly neighborhood vacuum cleaner.

The contractor claimed he was cleaning his underpants.

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.
