"My one job was to keep the house clean"

Robot vacuums are becoming increasingly common, which is not surprising as everyone wishes they could have someone else handle their dirty work. Who wouldn't want a machine that could clean and collect dust and debris throughout the house as they relax and enjoy a cup of coffee?

Over time, these bots have advanced rapidly, becoming a cutting-edge floor cleaning solution with a plethora of useful functions. When it comes to cleaning hard-to-reach areas such as couches or beds, robot vacuums can perform better than regular ones.

They come in handy if you have trouble moving around or simply don't want to waste your time moving or lifting large furniture so you can clean the floor underneath. With the help of a smartphone app, almost all of the more recent models let you schedule cleaning periods so they can take care of the floors while you're away.

The OP of today's story made use of this robot vacuum, but a huge disaster awaited him on a faithful day. The OP has been home alone working while his wife and kids visit family.

His one job was to keep the house clean for when they got home. He left the house one day and told the robot vacuum to clean the whole house, but that turned out to be a big mistake.

Find out how as you read the entire story for yourself below.

The OP kicks off his story

It has been dragged through the whole living room into the kitchen and in the hall

And the comments from other Redditors roll in...

Why the dog was brought in

It must have

The OP left this edit about the dog later on...

The dog being outside at night is normal, in fact he is mostly an outside dog except during the hot summer and cyclone season. We have bunnies and chickens outside also (bunnies have an indoor cage during the day).

The chickens have their own pen but normally cuddle up with him on his bed, they definitely view him as one of the flock. The dog on top of being my friend, and lifelong companion of the kids is also our protector and let's us know if someone or something is in our yard at night. He has scared away intruders more than once so he is definitely a goodest boi.

The comments continues...

It is a long time

It's not like you can tell

Getting a dog door

Here we go

Dogs are social animals

The OP did agree that 12 hours is a long time to be left inside but he didn't really have an option. They live in a remote town of less than 1500 people so options like dog walkers and house sitters aren't a thing there.

A dog flap would be great but unfortunately, the OP lives in a rental that stipulates no pets inside, so having a dog door or flap installed would probably have him lose his rental. The OP knows that he was being the dumb dad but he has learnt his lesson.
