Siri is bad too



OK.  So I’m still in the “doghouse” for that elf incident.  Really – what’s the big deal?  You will note that I COULD have destroyed the stuffed Santa – but I didn’t.  I mean it’s not like I chewed the head off one of the shepherds in the manger.  Or I swallowed Baby Jesus.  It was an ELF.  A creepy, scary looking elf.  And we still have another one.  For now.  I think I’ll just call Santa and explain the situation.  I’m sure he’ll understand.



And speaking of calling people – my human is just about ready to kill that Siri person/thing.  Ever since my human bought a new “hands free” device for her cell phone, she is having BIG problems with Siri.  Here is a recent phone call:



My Human:  “Call Mom home.”



Siri:  “What number for Mom, home or mobile?”



My Human:  “Home.”



Siri:  “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand you.  Home or mobile?”



My Human:  “Home.”



Siri:  “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand you.  Home or mobile?”



My Human:  “HOME!!!!!”



Siri:  “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand you.  Home or mobile?”



My Human: “HOME.  H-O-M-E.  HOME!!!!”



Siri:  “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand you.  Home or mobile?”



My Human:  “Call 123-456-7890”



Siri:  “Calling 123-457-7890”



My Human:  “NO!!!!!!!!   STOP!!!!!!!!”  Click.



So she tries one more time…



My Human:  “Call Mom HOME.”



Siri:  “Calling John Doe.”



My Human:    “AAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”  Click.

I'm thinking that Siri has some PON in her - she can sure be stubborn sometimes!



My human tried to get Siri to talk to us – and Frodo certainly barked out some instructions.  But no luck.   My human gets more frustrated with Siri than she does with me.  Which is hard to believe.  SERIously.  (Pun intended.)  I think it’s kind of funny.  But then, I also thought that destroying an elf was kind of funny…



Excuse me while I go and EMAIL Santa.
