Man human imprinting is crazy. My friend’s roomba zoomed by me and I got this intense urge to reach down and pat it. Like it’s just a machine? But it’s a good boy? It spends all day cleaning and sleeping and exploring the house and never complains and it’s just so good little robot? Pet robot?? Pet the robot????? Why am I like this???

When I bought my roomba the lady at the store told me that if it breaks within warranty and I send it back to the manufacturer, I can request that they fix and send back the same roomba instead of just sending back a new one. I gave her a confused look and she explained that people get attached to Their Roomba and don’t want them to just be replaced because they’re like part of the family. Humans are pretty great.

We’ve had a roomba since they were first released, like, what.. 20 years ago? It hasn’t worked in close to 10 years now, probably, and kind of just hangs out in my aunt’s room on the dock, cozy under a blanket pile in the corner of her room. It’s not covered or hidden, you can clearly see it peaking it’s little roomba nose out from under the blankets…

and yet the look on my aunt’s face when my brother was helping her move furniture round the room and suggested she throw it out was as incredulous as it would be if he’d suggested we throw out the CAT.

Her words? “Why?! He’s not hurting anyone hanging out under the blankets!”
