What are some Roomba horror stories?

Well, my friend had a Roomba horror story. His Roomba seemed to have a mind of its own. One day, while he was at work, the Roomba somehow managed to get into his office and knock over some important papers that were on the floor. But that wasn't the worst part. It then dragged a small rug across the room and got tangled up in it. When he came home, he found it still struggling, and it had created a huge mess. It was like the Roomba was on a mission to destroy order in his house.

There was an owner who had a Roomba 960. One day, they came home to find that the Roomba had somehow managed to get into the bathroom and had 'cleaned' the floor in there. But it also got some toilet paper stuck to it and left a trail of toilet paper all over the house as it continued its cleaning journey. It was a total mess but also extremely funny.

I have a Roomba that always seems to find the dirtiest spots in the most unexpected ways. One time, it went straight under a table where someone had spilled a bunch of crumbs weeks ago. It started cleaning it up like it had a mission. And when it was done, it made this little beep as if to say 'Mission accomplished', which was really cute.

Well, there are quite a few. For example, some Roomba models have a strong suction that can actually pull in a small amount of a pet's fur in an uncomfortable way for the pet. There are also horror stories where the Roomba has chased a skittish pet around the house, making the pet extremely stressed. And in one case, a Roomba got so full of pet hair that it stopped working properly and started emitting a burning smell, which was really concerning for the pet owner.

For me, it's when the Roomba seems to have a 'personality' of its own. Like when it gets stuck and instead of just shutting down or waiting for help, it makes these really strange noises as if it's frustrated or angry. It's unnerving to think of a cleaning device having emotions or some sort of malevolent intent. It changes your perception of it from a helpful gadget to something that might be plotting against you.

The Roomba dog poop horror story often involves the poor unsuspecting device rolling right into a pile of dog poop. Since it's designed to keep moving and cleaning, it just drags the poop along with it. This can lead to a disgusting situation where you come home to find poop tracks all over your floors and rugs. And cleaning it up is no easy feat. You have to carefully disassemble parts of the Roomba to make sure all the poop is removed and then thoroughly clean the areas it has soiled in your home.

Simple. Just make sure to check the floor for dog poop before starting the Roomba. That's the most straightforward way.

Maybe the funny Roomba poop story is that someone's Roomba sucked up some poop that was accidentally left on the floor by a baby or a small animal. Then it started leaving poop trails as it moved around the room trying to clean, which is both gross and funny at the same time.

My friend has a Roomba that has a habit of getting attracted to shiny things. One day, it chased a coin all around the living room until it finally sucked it up. Then it seemed so proud of itself, like it had found a great treasure. Also, my own Roomba once managed to climb onto a small rug and got stuck there. It was just spinning in place, and when I went to check, it looked like it was trying to do some sort of crazy stunt.

The science - fiction - predicted Roomba has set high goals for real - life development. For example, the idea of intelligent navigation in science fiction has inspired real - life Roomba developers to improve its mapping and path - finding algorithms.
