The day my roomba declared war.

It all began on a lazy Saturday morning when I finally decided to clean my apartment—not myself, of course. That’s what the Roomba was for. A gift from my sister, who claimed, “This thing will change your life.”

She wasn’t wrong. It did change my life—just not in the way I expected.

I clicked “Start” on the app, expecting the little robot to glide smoothly across the floors, sucking up the Dorito dust, rogue popcorn, and the mysteries under my couch. Instead, it zoomed like a rocket and rammed into the wall.

“Okay, calm down, buddy,” I whispered like I was talking to a toddler on a sugar high.

Then it happened. The Roomba rolled straight into the corner where my cat, Mr. Pickles, was enjoying his nap. Mr. Pickles, who had never moved faster in his life, launched into the air like a fur-covered missile and landed directly on my head.

The Roomba? Unbothered. It kept going. Straight into the bathroom.

That’s when I realized: I had forgotten to close the toilet lid.

Now, if you’ve never seen a robotic vacuum attempt synchronized swimming, I wouldn’t recommend it. The sound it made as it dived into the bowl was something between a gulp and a sad squeak.

Screaming, I grabbed a mop, trying to save what was left of this expensive, overconfident hockey puck. It was too late. Roomba had drowned with honor.

I sat on the bathroom floor, soaked and defeated, my cat glaring at me from the sink like I had personally insulted his ancestors.

And just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, the fire alarm went off. Not because of smoke, but because I had left a grilled cheese sandwich on the stove during this robotic apocalypse.

At that point, I just laughed.

I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. I laughed until I cried. I laughed until Mr. Pickles looked genuinely concerned for my mental stability.

The Turning Point

When I finally got the alarm to stop and cleaned up the puddles, I sat on the couch, holding the now-silent Roomba like a fallen soldier.

That’s when it hit me—how ridiculous the whole thing was. And how good it felt to just let go and laugh.

See, I had been stressed out for weeks. Work deadlines. Rent. Grocery prices so high I considered selling a kidney for eggs. Social media filled with bad news and people yelling in the comment sections like it was a sport.

But that morning, in all its chaos, gave me something precious: a break from worrying. It reminded me that life is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes hilarious. And that’s okay.

The Moral of the Story

Here’s the deal—bad days come. Technology fails. Cats judge you. But sometimes, you need a robotic vacuum to dunk itself into your toilet to remind you that not everything is in your control.

You don’t have to fix every problem instantly. You can pause. Laugh. Breathe.

Humor is medicine. Chaos is a teacher. And your worst day might become your funniest story.

So, What Should You Take From This?

It’s okay to lose control.

You’re not a machine. Life will throw things your way you can’t plan for—like a suicidal vacuum.

Laughter heals.

Don’t take everything so seriously. The world is already heavy. Be light.

Unplug sometimes.

Not just your appliances—your brain too. Take a walk. Pet a cat (carefully). Burn a grilled cheese on purpose if you have to.

Don’t fear failure.

Even if your plan ends in smoke and mop water, there’s probably a great story in there.
