Hairdryers are NOT a good idea with airbeds
" With my IT budget they are lucky to get an airbed and a hairdryer to blow it up with."
When I used to visit my parents for a weekend I was usually guaranteed a bed, but on this particular occasion, other guests had priority.
An airbed in the music room was offered. No problem, I like camping and I'm on holiday, so that's fine...
My father used a hair dryer to inflate the airbed, with all too predictable results. This hairdryer didn't have a cold blow option so:
1) the inlet bit of plastic on the airbed melted
2) I got the job of blowing the thing up myself, with a now badly distorted mouthpiece
3) it was a scorching hot weekend and the hairdryer had turned the music room into a frigging sauna.
I did not sleep too well that night.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
