The place I'm staying at has Alexa whatever things all over the house. I have given in and used them for timers and alarm clocks so I can reduce use of my phone especially first thing in the morning. It helps that I have to actually use my voice if I want to silence the alarm. So of course I blearily told it to stop for 3 separate alarms this morning - 7, 7:15 and 7:30.
Eventually woke up at 8ish and asked it what the time was and it said "The time is 8:05 am. Happy Friday! π "
Is it possible to ask Alexa to be more of a curmudgeonly bitch?
People that say 'happy Friday' should be given 50 lashes in the public square.
People that say 'happy ****day' for any other of the week, should be removed from society via catapult or trebuchet
Oh well, thatβs me drawn and quartered for my serial offending.
I'll be there with you! I'm so annoyingly chirpy sometimes, even to myself.
Thank you for your sacrifice
