When apologizing to your dog scares you. / myLot

No, I’m not scared because I think I’m weird for apologizing to my dog. I’m just a little perturbed that I jostled my indignant dog, said, “I’m sorry, sweetheart”, and my phone across the room said, “No problem.” Should i be concerned that my phone is listening when I wasn’t asking it to? Or should I be concerned they think I’d actually refer to my phone as “sweetheart”? I mean, c’mon phone, you’re nice and all, but you are not my sweetheart.

One day not long ago I told my son I was going to run to CVS for his meds, and I would be back very shortly. My phone said, ''have a safe trip'' and I hate that.

I’m legit laughing, but it’s also not funny.

@AmbiePam Everything we see, use, or say seems to be tracked in some way. Very disturbing.

Fo reasons like that and some others I am glad I have no phone, I would certainly find that spooky, Now if Sadie starts talking that will be exciting,

Holy chit, I've never had my phone talk to me, thank heavens. I'd be concerned if it did and trow it in a tub of water.

Unfortunately, it’s not the first time. I guess it won’t be the last.

I think I would be looking for something to remove from my phone

I just figured Siri was pretty much 24/7 now.

That's hilarious and Stephen King at the same time. I'm glad I don't have a smarty phone.

As creepy as it is, my phone has saved me. My car is 24 years old, so there is no GPS in it. I got completely lost a couple months ago, and I had no idea where I was. I simply said my home’s address, and on it led me! Which was good because there was no one around to ask for directions! When I get lost, I really get lost!

@AmbiePam I get lost easily, too. My car has no GPS either. I ask a ton of questions when I go somewhere new and sometimes I end up back home without having met my goal.

Oh My! Your phone said No Problem?

I would have said "You are Right I am fixin' the problem!" and then shut down my phone!

That is both hysterical and creepy! That sounds like something Alexa would do.

JJ is right, they are watching us. I would not be happy hearing my phone talking to me.

I can understand your concerned that the person thought you called him or her "Sweetheart."

The phone saying "no problem" is the funniest part because it just jumped in like it was part of the convo... i would have side eyed mine for a week lol. Also the "you are not my sweetheart" line got me, that phone is totally dusty for assuming.
