Reading the article and the comments in this forum, I literally had tears running down my face. Have't had a good laugh for a while.

I love how the guy thinks "Instead of cleaning this up ill film it!", and then he ends it by saying "F M L" (the letters) what a douche.

Love our Roomba :-) Have resorted to purchasing parts on Ebay as locally it's insane for replacement brushes/filters etc but other than that it's a good vacuum.

Takes it's time to clean but then we usually go out and leave it to it. Of course the virtual walls help, and we don't put it on a bench tops LOL

reven: I often have the same issue with my roomba, im onto my 4th one and 3rd house. but my kitchen bench is currently spotless!

That's what I was thinking. He will need to buy a new one to clean up the mess it left.

This guy deserves a Darwin award. Shows how lazy humans are getting. I guess it's natural selection if the house burns down because of something like this.
