What happens when you cross a Roomba with a fresh pile of dog poop? A “poohpocalypse” of epic proportions, apparently.
In a ROTF, peeing-in-your-panties Facebook post, a shell-shocked Jesse Newton details exactly what can happen to your beloved home when these two entities become acquainted.
“So, last week, something pretty tragic happened in our household,” the post began, “It's taken me until now to wrap my head around it and find the words to describe the horror … If you have a Roomba, please rid yourself of all distractions and absorb everything I'm about to tell you.
Do not, under any circumstances, let your Roomba run over dog poop. If the unthinkable does happen, and your Roomba runs over dog poop, stop it immediately and do not let it continue the cleaning cycle. Because if that happens, it will spread the dog poop over every conceivable surface within its reach, resulting in a home that closely resembles a Jackson Pollock poop painting.”
According to Newton, the problem started in the wee hours of the morning, when he, his family and their adorable puppy Evie were all fast asleep in their beds. The family’s Roomba was set to clean the floors in the house each night at 1:30 am. At some time between midnight and 1:30 am, Newton estimates, the puppy must have dropped a pretty pile of poop on the family’s living room floor.
“This is the only time she's done this, so it's probably just because we forgot to let her out before we went to bed that night,” Newton explained.
Now enter the Roomba, on a mission to clean …
Though most of us can pretty well imagine how that must have gone down, according to Newton, everything that could go wrong really did, from a poop-covered baby, to poop polished baseboards, to a dishonored Roomba that is almost unidentifiable in its poop-covered state.
Newton’s story is a hilarious tale of peril that was just what the doctor ordered this Friday afternoon to power us through to the weekend. Check out the full post here, in all of its poop-covered glory.
