What Happens When Roomba Runs Over Dog Poo In The Middle Of The Night

ADVERTISEMENT

Jesse Newton woke up in the middle of the night after his four-year-old son had crawled into bed smelling distinctively like dog poop. The smell was so horrifying, the man jumped out of the bed, only to discover that their Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner had run over their doggie’s pile, and now covered the entire house with the deuce – think rugs, floor, furniture and kid’s toys. All of this horror happened while the whole family was soundly asleep…

Newton, who described the event as a ‘pooptastrophe’ was so shocked that it took him a year to start speaking about the Roomba dog poop incident. “It’s taken me until now to wrap my head around it and find the words to describe the horror.”

“Do not, under any circumstances, let your Roomba run over dog poop… Because if that happens, the skid marks will be all over every conceivable surface within its reach, resulting in a home that closely resembles a Jackson Pollock poop painting.”

However, Newton was quick to defend his dog Evie, not blaming her for the whole dog poop Roomba ordeal: “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.” Fair enough.

Looks like this dad was not the only one to have the same problem with dog poo and robot vacuum cleaners!

The guy literally documented the exact route of the Poopmba, like a detective at a crime scene...

Am I the only one who looked at the track of the poop and realized the roomba doesn't really clean all the areas of the floor?

Although this is absolutely hilarious, I'm sure this was one of the shittiest (pun intended) moments of his life. Had a similar situation a few years ago when my mom was out of town for a few days and left her Shepherd and two small Malteses at home. Went to check in on them on the second day, and the Shepherd had unloaded *everywhere*. Walked in it, ran in it...Even danced in it, by the looks of it. As had the two cotton-ball creatures known as Malteses. 'Twas a devastatingly brutal cleanup. It took many hours, showers, and tears to get through it all.

This happened to me with cat poop. It didn’t get all over the house but it got all over the vacuum. I took it apart and cleaned it but the oder prevails. Any hope?

Bless my dog, for holding it with all his might, no matter how badly he needs to poop. I need to buy him a fancy bone or something.

Why would you let the roomba run around at 1:30 on the morning. Having some gadget going around the house in the middle of the night is odd to me. Also letting your dog out to use the bathroom at night is a must remember. Some people create their own bad luck.

Relying on technology to lighten the load doesn't always work out as one expects, does it, lol.
