GIRL NAMED ALEXA SEARY HATES ALEXA, SIRI

A 21-year-old college student in Ventnor City, New Jersey, has the unlucky name of Alexa Seary. Alexa is also the name of the Amazon Echo device. Siri is the app on Apple iPhones and computers. Seary describes her life as a “waking nightmare”. “If I introduced myself with my last name people would always tie it to the Siri voice. Since 2011, friends and colleagues at the restaurant she works part-time kept addressing her by her last name as if she were a machine. Then it got worse in 2015 when Amazon released its Echo device which has “Alexa.” “It started off at work. It would be, ‘Siri, do this, Siri do that,’ and now they do the same thing with Alexa,” she said. Mostly people just say, ‘Haha, I’m telling you what to do,’ and I’m like, ‘OK, haha, that’s a new one.’” Although Seary has Siri on her phone, she refuses to get the Amazon Echo, saying it would be a “complete disaster.”
* The worst is when people at work tell her to talk with a male voice doing an Australian accent.
* How many hundreds of times a day does she overhear people saying “Hey, Siri”?
* Here’s the premise for the horror movie: Alexa and Siri team up to kill Alexa Seary because they’re jealous that she has a physical body.
* Eventually they download into her brain and take over.
* For this lady, concealed carry would just be a tragedy waiting to happen.
* Still a better name than Jack Meehoff.
* Even though this college student Alexa is steamed here, I can’t help it. I think she sounds cool.
* Mmm, let’s see, we can get a gigantic corporation to change course, we can get her to change her name or, she keeps the name and lives with it, after a nice donation by Apple and Amazon.
* Hey, she deserves something. What did she call her life? “A waking nightmare”? Give her a break.
* Wait, I was a 21-year-old college student once. It’s a waking nightmare for everybody.
