How badly do you have to suck for your Roomba to turn itself on and drive onto the stove, push a pot out of the way and set itself on fire?
These are the remains of a Roomba from Austria that allegedly turned itself on, ran onto a kitchen hotplate, and burned to death. Robot suicide? We can only hope. I like how you can see the ash tire tracks from when it was running around in circles while on fire. That makes me happy.
'The home-owner had put the small robot on the work surface to clean up some spilled cereal. Once the robot had done its job it was switched off but left on the kitchen sideboard.
'Somehow it seems to have reactivated itself and made its way along the work surface where it pushed a cooking pot out of the way and basically that was the end of it.
'It pretty quickly started to melt underneath and then stuck to the kitchen hotplate. It then caught fire. By the time we arrived, it was just a pile of ash.
'I don't know about the allegations of a robot suicide but the homeowner is insistent that the device was switched off - it's a mystery how it came to be activated and ended up making its way to the hotplate.'
The homeowner said: 'The company that makes the robots is selling dangerous devices, I intend to sue to get compensation. It has ruined my home as everything is smoke damaged.'
Well of course you plan on suing, you're a JACKASS. First of all, you put a Roomba on a counter to clean spilled cereal. Just how catastrophic was this cereal spill? Would a paper towel not do the trick? Secondly, that's the same Roomba that cleans the floors, now it's on your KITCHEN COUNTER. That's like putting your shoes on the counter. Thirdly, you left a pot on the stove with the stove on and left the house. Clearly you're not smart enough to be doing that. As much as I hate robots, I side with the Roomba. I'd throw myself on a hotplate too if I was a slave to this @$$hole.
Thanks to Jeremy and Cleaner, who agree anybody who buys a Roomba shouldn't be allowed to sue because IT'S A ROBOT, what did you think was gonna happen?
