Yes, it takes some getting used to. If you have trained your mind to like nice neat patterns on the carpet, and that means "clean" to you, then crop circles will probably drive you batty. I had the same initial reaction until I got used to it.
I also found that I couldn't stand to watch the Roomba work. I'd want to redirect it because it *looked* so inefficient in its patterns. Took awhile to learn to trust that it will eventually, in its own haphazard way, get to every area (and many that I usually skip when using a regular vacuum - like under the bed, under the sofa, under the dining room chairs).
I did find that turning it on before I left the house works best for me. That way, I don't have to stand there watching it. The whole purpose is to save time anyway. Standing over it fretting might've saved sweat work of pushing a vacuum, but it wasn't saving any time.
