 Actual scene this morning:

Me: Maybe we should get one of those robot vacuums, like a Roomba? The apartment would feel a lot cleaner if dirt and dog fur were automatically zapped away daily

Wife: Eh, maybe we just use our hand vac more? Here, let's use it now...

[5 minutes later]

Wife: [drops hand vac on foot, possibly breaks her toe]

Now my afternoon itinerary is 1) take wife to walk-in clinic; 2) go buy a new vacuum
