Roomba Poop Story Goes Viral After Vacuum Cleaner Goes Wrong: One Man's Dumpy Morning

An Arkansas man woke up to a horrible scene earlier this month and found that his robotic, automatic vacuum cleaner had managed to spread dog poop all throughout his house. Writing in a Facebook post last week that has since gone viral, Jesse Newton described a morning when his child came to sleep in the bed with him and his wife as he notices that something stunk. Newton said he walked into his living room at some time after 3 a.m. and found that his Roomba, which is set to vacuum each night at 1:30 a.m., had run over dog poop his puppy had left behind. He called it the "Pooptastrophe." Newton said he saw dog poop on "every conceivable surface" and the sight closely resembled a "Jackson Pollock poop painting."
