As a child, Alice was afraid of the vacuum. She was convinced it was a beast. She had nightmares where the vacuum and its strange-smelling cleaning supplies friends attacked her. She snuck into the hall closet and stabbed the vacuum while it was in its 'dormant state.'
And Annabeth had to lecture her about Vacuums not being alive.
Uncle Leo told Alice the story of an angry midget named Levi Ackerman who pretended to be a vacuum so he could be with his cleaning soulmates in the hall closet.
She stabbed the new vacuum too
Needless to say Alice still will not touch a vacuum to this day.
