Are you eating? No? That’s good. This is a really gross story—and yet, totally mesmerizing. Last week, an innocent man woke to find his Roomba vacuum painting the first floor of his house with dog poop. His Facebook post detailing the fateful event has gone totally viral. Read on for the hilariously gory details and unexpectedly happy ending.
The gross story taking over the internet
Sadly enough, this dad isn’t the only victim of the Roomba + dog poop disaster scenario. Pictures of Roomba “poopocalypses” are plentiful online, as well as Roomba shaming photos and horror stories galore.
Roomba shaming
Luckily for poopocalypse victims, a post-poopocalypse roomba cleaning tutorial is available, to help survivors cope with these stinky situations.
A jaunty twirl
The best thing to bring into these kinds of situations of course is a little humor. And maybe some Vicks Vaporub under your nose. But mostly humor.
