It's Easier If You Do it The Hard Way

Today I was tasked with vacuuming the car.
It is a simple task: plug the vacuum in, turn it on, suck up dirt, turn it off, unplug it, put it away.

My father was tasked with cleaning the windows this means that he was in the car at the time.

I had planned to plug the vacuum into the car using this little converter box we have in the car. Sure it'd drain the battery, but I wouldn't have to waste time scouring the house for an extension cord -- besides, we can just run the engine, thats how it works. It's much easier this way, because the extension cords are always somewhere that is not where I am and the converter box is always in one place and I won't have to fuddle around as much with running out of cord or getting it caught on the tires.

Nope. "It'd be easier for you to get an extension cord".

Search the house. Garage? No. Living room? No. Bedrooms? No. Basement? No. Garage again? No. Unplug the Christmas lights, it's February anyway.

Finally get to vacuum the car forty minutes later. I would have been done already.
