saying please and thank you to Siri

[heheheheheheh]

I can't not say please to Siri. It seems so wrong to simply bark commands at him. But I've stopped thanking him.

The rational part of me knows Siri doesn't care either way. But I wonder if it'll make me a ruder person if I become accustomed to ordering him around like this.

If it makes you feel better to say please and thank you to a computer then go head :S

I always thank him (and occasionally cash machines too). Seems rude not to when he's living in my phone being all helpful.

I don't have Siri but DD does at school, I must ask her if she says please and thank you to him! She does say he can't understand anything! I've got Cortana but haven't set her up yet, I'll try and resist saying please and thank you!

I know what you mean. It is a total habit for me to say please and thank you so that I worry if I break this habit it may become a habit not to say it to real life people.

haha Thumbcat I can't say I have ever thanked a cash machine ( I don't think)

I swear at my computer (don't most people?) so really thanking a piece of software is not that much different.

I've never said please or thank you to Siri. Is that why he never does anything I ask? Is he judging my lack of manners? Have I offended him?

I just asked Siri if I had to say please, and he told me the date. Very puzzled, but my Siri is French.

Midnight: 'Siri does it bother you if I don't say please or thank you.'
Siri: 'you don't need to thank me Midnight'.

The relief! Phew!

I thank him, I too have thanked cash machines out loud without thinking and most recently the green man on the pedestrian crossing.

I say carry on though op, I'd rather be polite to everyone including random things like that than get out of the habit and end up being rude to an actual person by mistake.

Do you use Siri a lot? I only use him from time to time as it seems quicker to just do things than open Siri and ask but I feel I am
probably not getting the best out of it. Plus he might get bored and resign

I keep trying to get Siri to say "Did you mean to be so rude" or similar.
It hasn't worked yet. :(

Working thru all the swear words I know. It may be some time.

I just asked Suri if she would like me to say please and thank you, her response 'don't mention it'
(Better than her response when I tell her to fuck off as she has opened when I don't want her)

I do my husband thinks I'm nuts! Tbf I probably am.
My husband just abuses him, and apparently gets the same results so I'm not sure he is bothered

I once thanked an automatic door

I could hear the people behind me sniggering.

I thank Siri all the time

I've just asked him if he minds me not doing it and he said my satisfaction is all the thanks he needs. He's such a charmer!

Ok, I've just told him to fuck off to see what his reaction was and he said "sorry, twirly, I was just trying to help"

I feel guilty now. I've apologised and he says its forgotten but I know he's brooding on it and so am I.

I'll stick with please and thank you. I can't take this emotional stress!

My Siri calls me Steve... I have no idea why!

I just asked Siri to show me a specific part of his anatomy.

He advised me to get a new assistant

I tell him I hate him and he's ugly and horrible. It's very sad because he sounds so defeated when he responds

This is how my lady Siri refers to me:

Pot

I'm always slightly scared of Siri as she seems to proactively start calling random people on my phone for some reason. Judging by the replies above, I need to foster a better relationship!

I say please and thank you to my cat. Seems rude not to somehow.

I always say please to him but not thank you. I just tried saying thank you after he'd answered something and he said that's nice of me to say!

You need to ask him if he loves you.
Spent a very funny evening here doing that.
Pot change your username?!!

It has never occurred to me to say please or thank you to Siri, or any other electronic voice TBH. Although I do quite frequently mutter "fuck off" to self service checkouts.
