I bought a new mop, it is a SPINNY mop, or rather it has a SPINNY bucket, there's a treadle on it like your nan's sewing machine and you SPINNY the mop to dry it out The actual SPINNY bit works surprisingly well but I have a bone to pick with the marketing department who showed me a video of a happy man spinning his happy SPINNY mop and the man was smiling instead of going OW MY BACK because he had to BEND OVER because this mop is SHORT, it's the SHORT MOP AGAIN except this time with LIES

LONG MOPS for GANGLY MEN are indeed a thing that exists because caretakers, they're made out of stronger stuff, there's wooden handles connected to fibre via steel so you can bicep your morque into the grime and fuck it properly without snapping the damn thing in half, but they're sold with certain Assumptions, they're COMMERCIAL mops, their wringing is all in the bucket mechanism, the bucket will have castors and be huge and heavy and ugly, you will keep it in the caretaker's special cupboard, you will move it between floors in a lift rather than trying to huff it up the stairs, you will not fill it with a kitchen tap, these devices have no business being in a domestic setting I simply wish for an extra 20cm of length and for reinforcement on the interface between rod and head, this is not very much to ask
