A man’s misadventure with a Roomba and a pile of dog poop in his home has gone viral, capturing the attention of the internet with its blend of humor and horror. The story begins with a somewhat tragic event that left him grappling for words to convey the chaos that ensued.
Let’s be honest: who wouldn’t want a Roomba? This robotic vacuum glides effortlessly over floors, maneuvering around furniture and into corners with ease. It operates quietly, making it the perfect companion for nighttime cleaning sessions. However, this convenience turns nightmarish if there’s a fresh pile of dog poop lurking in the middle of the room.
Jared Thompson has coined several terms for this unfortunate incident: “The Pooptastrophe,” “The Poohpocalypse,” and “The Pooppening.” He warns fellow Roomba owners, “Do not, under any circumstances, let your Roomba encounter dog poop. If it does, it will spread the mess across every surface within reach, transforming your home into a Jackson Pollock-style disaster.”
This particular event occurred at 1:30 AM, while the household was peacefully asleep. When Jared’s four-year-old son crawled into bed at 3:00 AM, he was greeted by a most unpleasant surprise. “When your child climbs into bed smelling like dog poop, you know something is amiss,” he recalls. Upon investigating, he discovered the Roomba sitting in the middle of the living room, glowing as if it had just completed a successful mission, oblivious to the chaos it had caused.
The horror of the situation quickly sunk in. For any dog owner, even the slightest whiff of poop is enough to turn stomachs. But to find your living space smeared with it? Unthinkable. Jared knew he had to act quickly. “First, I had to clean my son’s feet,” he said. “But I didn’t bother with my own, knowing the cleanup that lay ahead.”
Instead of burying his head in the sand, Jared decided to take action. He retrieved the Roomba, placing it in the bathtub to soak while he dismantled it piece by piece, contemplating how he found himself in this predicament at such an ungodly hour. As he struggled with the device, poop smeared up to his elbows, and he realized he had forgotten to remove the battery before introducing the gadget to water.
“Oh, the creativity of my cursing was off the charts,” he laughed. “You can only imagine the words coming out of my mouth!” With hopes that his son remained asleep, Jared pressed on to tackle the aftermath.
Next, he unveiled the carpet shampooer, only to discover the rug—the root of the whole debacle—was beyond saving. “I knew my wife loved that rug, so I had to at least make an attempt to clean it,” he sighed, despite knowing it was destined for the trash.
The saga doesn’t end there; it includes an abundance of paper towels, a steam mop, and even a toothbrush. It’s a tale worth reading in full for the comedic relief it provides. Thankfully, Roomba deemed the disaster so severe that they replaced the $400 machine Jared had tossed in the tub.
“I called them and explained the situation,” he recounted. “My Roomba found dog poop and nearly sparked World War III!”
