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.

[heheheheheheh]

I'm so glad I saw that because I was just about to get Siri to call me Emperess supreme of all space-time and it'd be a bit embarrassing to have that on my emails.

I change my name on my phone so siri called me something amusing whilst DD and I were playing around....didn't realised that it links to my email so for weeks I'd been signing my emails "Many thank, Mrs fatty pants poo face the 3rd"
But I still thank my phone!

Oh, so I have to be in my own contact list... thanks WhoKnows.

[WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeG0es]

In the settings there's a slide button called My Info, touch that and it takes you to your contact list and youcan choose yourself. If you add more info it uses it all, eg address and it can direct you home. I find that a step too far in Big Brotherness personally though so have left it as None.

(Please and thank you. )

How do I get Siri to use my name? Or any name, come to that? I tried ages ago and ended up in a cul-de-sac of tech-rage failure and self-loathing.

[WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeG0es]

You can choose a voice in settings.

Why is Siri a man on some phones and a lady on others?

[WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeG0es]

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.

[Dontlaugh]

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

[honeyroar]

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!

[Fairenuff]

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

[CalebHadToSplit]

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!

This is how my lady Siri refers to me:

[hiddenhome2]

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

[MaidOfStars]

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

He advised me to get a new assistant

[GoofyIsACow]

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

[twirlypoo]

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!

[twirlypoo]

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!

[PushAPushPop]

I once thanked an automatic door

I could hear the people behind me sniggering.

[jeanmiguelfangio]

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

[Stoneagemum]

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)

[tibbawyrots]

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.
