DH Weird comments to Google Mini

37 replies

confusedaibuaboutthis123 · 12/03/2020 12:24

Hi all,

Looking for some perspective about something which has made me feel a bit weird.

We have a very busy home life, with me and my dh both working shifts so we can be ships passing in the night. Throw in the mix DS6 and we do have barely anytime for each other, although we grab what we can.

Sex life has suffered, obviously, but when we get the chance it's amazing. Recently I've been the one to initiate, the one who sends the naughty texts, pictures etc. and he seems a bit 'off'. Then he will randomly get the urge and be all over me for one night.

Anyway, this is might be relevant to my AIBU. We have a google mini, we all use it to check the time, play music etc. My DS son couldn't remember a song DH had played using it, so we went on the google activity site because it logs it. Obviously it had all the usual, 'google, what time is it', 'google, play xxx' etc.

But there were several strange commands from this morning. I had dropped DS off to school and continued to a drs appointment, so these commands were said by DH.

These are some examples were:

you are a bad girl

what I would do to you

I want to make you more than blush

I confronted DH, and said what's with the strange comments to the google mini? He immediately looked embarrassed and then angry, and said why am I questioning how he's talking to a robot, that I have offended him by even asking and he was having a laugh.

Why has this made me feel so weird? Is it because he isn't saying these things to me, and I'm projecting my feelings about our sex life onto this bloody robot? Or would you be weirded out and questioning why you're husband is speaking this way to a robot, or is there more to it?

Please rationalise this for me and tell me if I am just being ridiculous for even questioning it?

Bloody weird.

otterbaby · 12/03/2020 12:26

Are you sure it's not picking up his voice while he's speaking to someone on the phone? 😕

JenNtonic · 12/03/2020 12:28

Sounds like sending a voice note on whattsapp maybe ? A sex line ?

happinessischocolate · 12/03/2020 12:29

How does google mini react when you say these things 😂

confusedaibuaboutthis123 · 12/03/2020 12:31

Well that did cross my mind, but there is a clear convo with this bloody robot!

09:42 can you turn off alarm
09:42 you are a bad girl (google response: I'm sorry, I'm always trying to get better)
09:43 I mean bad isn't good (google response: Now you're making me blush)
09:43 I want to make you more than blush

09:47 What time is it

It's striking me as weird, but his reaction was even more strange to me.

He's just having a silly laugh by himself. When I've been alone in the car before ive told her to fuck off to see what she says back. Your husband and I obviously have a weird sense of humour!

Weirdwonders · 12/03/2020 12:32

Like he said, he was having a laugh and now he’s embarrassed.
Reason number #3768 not to have a stupid robotic listening device in your home.

Ihatesocialmedia · 12/03/2020 12:32

I would also be embarrassed if my husband looked up my history with google and asked me why I'd said weird stuff.

Bream · 12/03/2020 12:33

He was just messing about seeing what it said back imo and is embarrassed because it’s a bit embarrassing!

userxx · 12/03/2020 12:47

ive told her to fuck off to see what she says back

I do this to siri !! Called her all sorts but end up feeling mean so apologise.

Helpwithaversion · 12/03/2020 12:50

🤣

CassandraGoth · 12/03/2020 12:50

I’ve asked Siri if he’ll be my boyfriend. I’ve also asked him if I smell and told him that Android is better than apple.

InFiveMins · 12/03/2020 13:04

At first I thought it was weird but when you gave the full transcript it seems to me he was just having a laugh by himself, and no wonder he feels embarrassed because it looks weirder written down for some reason.

I'd just let it go OP.

TerrorWig · 12/03/2020 13:05

It sounds like he was having a laugh and he’s embarrassed you know about it.

Kittykat93 · 12/03/2020 13:05

Sorry op that's hilarious Grin I would be a bit weirded out by it but hopefully it's nothing untoward..

Windyatthebeach · 12/03/2020 13:06

Maybe he wanted to practise saying out loud some dirty talk he wants to say to you but is too embarrassed?

SassyBrassyBitch · 12/03/2020 13:06

He was having a laugh fgs.

I've done similar to Alexa just to see what she says

I'd feel embarrassed if someone pulled me up an dot caus ei was just being silly.

But you're making him out to be a sex weirdo because you're insecure.

Reginabambina · 12/03/2020 13:07

He’s just being silly surely? Also why the fuck would you want him saying those things to you?!

Mummyoflittledragon · 12/03/2020 13:10

Context is everything. I want to make you more than blush was in response to a comment made to him. It could easily mean I want to throw you against the wall. And if it wasn’t, he was clearly messing around. I’ve voted yabu. I see I’m in the minority.

Fluffybutter · 12/03/2020 13:11

Gross .. he snapping at you because realises it’s a fucking weird thing to do

Mummyoflittledragon · 12/03/2020 13:11

Ah I see why I’m in the minority. I’m going to change it. Yanbu to think you’re being ridiculous. Which way was I supposed to vote?

Annabellesdad · 12/03/2020 13:15

God i hope my wife doesn't look up our Alexa command logs Grin

He was just having a laugh, they will have pre programmed responses to things like that and its funny to find out what they are!

ShirleyPhallus · 12/03/2020 13:17

I’ve definitely said worse to Siri just to see what his response is!

John470322 · 12/03/2020 13:22

I asked Alexa to marry me and she said not until Mars is colonised. I need to point out that my wife was in the room and as amused as me at her its response

cochineal7 · 12/03/2020 13:22

If it is only this morning he was probably having a silly moment. If it is a recurring thing - slightly weird.
