The new robot vacuum somehow managed to trap itself in the bathroom by closing the door.
My husband and I found ourselves apologizing to the family cat for the machine's aggressive behavior.
"If you want the floors clean," I angrily told the robot, "you'll have to do it yourself!"
The new robot vacuum somehow managed to trap itself in the bathroom by closing the door.
"Itself" is used because the subject is an inanimate object (the vacuum).
My husband and I found ourselves apologizing to the family cat for the machine's aggressive behavior.
"Ourselves" matches the plural first-person subject "My husband and I" (we).
"If you want the floors clean," I angrily told the robot, "you'll have to do it yourself!"
"Yourself" is used here because the speaker is directly addressing a singular entity ("you," the robot).
