There's nothing more awkward than walking in on someone getting some action.

It's especially awkward when that someone is, uh, a robot vacuum.

Redditor briannebellaxo walked in on her robot vacuum decidedly not cleaning her floors. Instead it was engaged in what appeared to be some serious business time with her bathroom scale.

She managed to grab footage of the action, with steamy Marvin Gaye playing in the background.

Naturally, this inspired a flurry of puns that escalated quickly.

Apparently, robot vacuums and scales have a history of torrid and forbidden electronic romances. There's other videos and images out there of roombas taking scales to lb. town.

Robot vacuums are also attracted to other cleaning supplies, it looks like.

Well, let's hope these robot vacuums are engaging in safe, consensual activities. They might want to consider closing the bathroom door next time.

UPDATE: April 20, 2018, 10:36 a.m. EDT The robot vacuum pictured was originally reported as a roomba. It is from a different manufacturer.
