Rita’s new robot vacuum mapped every room and promised to avoid private areas.
She marked the study as out of bounds.
For a week, the robot obeyed.
Then Rita found it waiting outside the study with three missing socks….
Rita loved the robot because it cleaned while she worked.
Her husband, Paul, distrusted anything that moved around the house without asking where it was going.
Rita used the app to create a boundary around the study.
Important papers, she explained.
Paul looked at the piles.
Are any on the floor?
They are in a system.
For a week, the robot stopped neatly at the study door.
On Saturday, Rita found it parked there with three socks balanced on top.
Those socks had been missing for months.
Paul asked where it found them.
The app showed a route from under the sofa, behind the radiator and beneath Paul’s chair.
Rita praised the robot.
Paul pointed at the closed study.
Why is it waiting there?
The robot beeped.
The app displayed a message.
BOUNDARY RESPECTED. OWNER MUST SORT OWN MESS.
