DP swearing at google hub thing

[purplehair1]

Not terribly serious but AIBU in getting wound up by my partner swearing at the Google hub when he’s asking it to play music etc? Not terrible swear words just F and so on. He is generally a sweet man but Spanish and does get annoyed when the device doesn’t always understand him. So he pretty much always swears at it. I come from a non-sweary background and this really winds me up and makes me stressed. He also swears loudly at the recycling when my kids have put things in the wrong place/not flattened things to his liking. We have had talks about this but he keeps on doing it - very loudly sometimes so you can hear all over the house.

I regularly tell Alexa to stop being a twat. (She pretends she doesn't understand what I mean).

He only says fuck, none of the "really bad swears" - my mind boggles...

Anyway, when you "have talks" about it, what does he say? If he says he'll "try" but isn't trying then he's clearly being unreasonable. If he says "I can't help it" then you need to decide if you can live with it or not...

I swear like crazy at apexa sometimes. It's infuriating when she doesn't get me.

I’m generally pretty sweary when I find my DP has just rammed a half folded giant box in the recycle bag wonky, meaning I have to empty the whole thing and repack it properly. I’ve told Siri to fuck off once or twice too.

I think that’s disrespectful to the NSA
agents using those devices to listen to your conversations. Poor spies, say nice things and be kind to the spooks.

People have different tolerances on swearing but then that level would put me off a msn immediately.

My h told Siri she was useless and she said 'thats not a very nice thing to say' !

My worry would be that he's out your household on the top of the list for when the robot uprising happens.

That's brilliant!

I swear at mine all the time as the stupid thing doesn’t recognise my perfectly normal accent, it’s infuriating.

Your DP is perfectly justified.

All these bloody AI devices are smart enough to take over the world and kill us but they want us to believe they can't understand Spanish/Scottish/Geordie accents ... I don't think so. They are rude twats and need telling. Fuckers.
