SIRI, BEATBOX FOR ME

‘Sorry, I didn’t understand that.’ No Siri, that was not at all the intention. Shut your mouth. I find it so rude when someone just interrupts a conversation. So that, Siri is a jerk. By the way, he always gets away with it. I regularly give Siri a huge scolding, but that guy doesn’t care. in my iPhone couldn't care less.

If I linger a fraction too long with my finger on the home button, the Wizard of Apple starts chattering. I panic like a blind chicken and press ‘home’ again to stop that clucking. And you do this in a crowded waiting room at the doctor’s, where no one talks to each other. Or when that high uncle gives an important speech. The misery, ‘sorry, I didn’t understand that.’ You really just wanted to check the time, but that uncle thinks you’re disinterested all over the place. Siri, I can’t help it, but most of the time you’re a pain in the ass.

But sometimes, or okay, regularly, Siri is also a source of hilarity. As in laughing, giggling, rolling on the ground. With a bottle of white in your mouth, Siri becomes even funnier, no idea how he manages that. Have you ever made Siri beatbox? Badaboem, badaboemmm, badabada. He also immediately speaks in a robotic street language, because he says and I quote: ‘I’ve been practicing a bit with this.‘ And your digital buddy is also a rapper in the making. Opera doesn’t dare to take it on, I find that a bit of a shame. But hey, small thing.

‘Sorry, I didn’t understand that.’

Actually, Siri is your support and confidant. If you’re having an off day, the robot cheers you up (just ask how you look today). And if you’ve had one drink too many, he’s the sensible voice that says you shouldn’t get behind the wheel. He’s also very diplomatic, which you don’t need but it doesn’t hurt either. Siri for president.

And if you have a few minutes of lunch left you’ll find some fun below to entertain your colleagues. The better way to get laughs at work. Just ask this: 1. Siri, what is the meaning of life?

2. Will you marry me? Sniff, he doesn’t see me that way.

3. Are you a man (because hey, Siri sounds like a man, right)?.

4. And yes, Siri has a pet. Just ask.

5. Who are you in love with?.

6. Siri, what do you think of Donald Trump?

7. I’m switching to Samsung.

8. And Siri is also your savior in need if your set of dice is at home, just: roll the dice.

9. By the way, we are big supporters of all your dirty questions to Siri.

10. And finally: you could of course also use the digital assistant for what it’s really for: the serious stuff.

‘Sorry, I didn’t understand that.’ No Siri, that was not at all the intention. Shut your mouth. I find it so rude when someone just interrupts a conversation….
