I am a simple man, with simple wants... I tell my wife honey we should so get one of those cool little robot vacuum things... she says no... I ask her why not, she is a neat freak and it will help out.... she says no again and calls me a dirty word... I point out that our boys are the avatars of the dirt and mess gods... nope... I ask why she hates the idea so much... she looks at me and says she won’t say, I will just laugh at her... so now totally committed to this, I promise not to laugh... her reasoning is that the little oversized hockey puck shaped cleaning robot will get upset constantly cleaning up after us and make it’s way up the stairs and then onto the bed and murder us in our sleep... I stared silently at her... she said it sounds silly she knows that but that’s her concern... I still am silent... she asked what’s wrong... I calmly tell her I am having a mini stroke from her line of reasoning... she calls me an asshole... I am forbidden to buy a roomba because she is worried about the roomba apocalypse.... she is an adult, educated, health care professional, and she thinks a roomba is going to kill us in our sleep... so I now understand why she got upset watching the Boston robotics video where they are knocking the box out of it’s hands... and if ever I hit the lottery I’m buying a hundred of the little bastards to release in the house for when she comes home...

Roombas, putting women out of jobs, who'd have thunk?
Koreans have an urban myth about 'fan death'
otherwise rational people believe if you go to sleep in a sealed (windows and doors closed) room with a running fan you will die
it takes all kinds

At no time did I say she was rational... lol
I'd fear the Roomba Kryptonite that is an errant Pet turd:

Everything about that picture is awesome, including (but not limited to) the stupid outfit.

Why is there a rat on the Roomba?

She probably just doesn't want one, or idk what to say.
Maybe watch the movie Chappy or i-Robot, for machines with emotions.

To this day, Seung refused to fly or ride in a Drake Cutlass because of the fan in the cockpit. He is terrified.
you need a kickstarter to make this happen.
I think you should put Creepy C3PO cos-play romance on the table and just see what happens!

My wife told me that we can't have the doors in the house closed because you can't see other people and then they don't exist anymore. I pretended to leave my wallet in the house and ran back inside and closed all the doors so they would compartmentalize our home while we were on vacation, in case of fire or something. She had a fit four days later when we got home and she found out the doors had been closed the whole time we were gone. It did keep the cat from crapping anywhere but the kitchen, though. She said that she had already gotten her revenge because, while I was inside closing the doors, she and her son had wiped Rain-X on the windshield even though I had told them not no, I hate Rain-X. On second thought maybe I shouldn't share this story with a wide audience...
My and my wife-to-be's Pizza-Oven-Shelf story is very bland and not much longer than saying there is a story behind the description, but it's also something neither of us have got over yet.
It's only been seven years.
I'm not ready to share it, i'm still traumatized.

I think thats to show what the source of the offending article was. Robots need noses. And eyes, eyes would help. And the ability to distinguish what is carpet and what is dog shite.
I think Roombas are more Automatons than Robots - It's basically a box that remembers where it has been and doesn't go there again until there is no where else to go and stops. It's not exactly beating Garry Kasparov at chess, although if you asked Deep Blue to do the vacuuming it'd probably say "Prawn to Knights B-2"
Just tell them to google "Automaton" and they'll see a Roomba is far from being a robot. No offence Roomba... R-Roomba...! Wh-What are you doing with those knifes and that duct-tape?! Stay back! Staaaaay Baaaaaaack!

You fuckers won't be laughing when the Roomba revolution starts. Then toasters will join too, "supposed falling" in bathtubs while their owners are there, relaxing after a long day. Shit will hit the fan, I tell you.
