Go away Siri!

And now for something completely differently as my life just gets weirder.....I have now taken a phone call on my iPad....failing to reach my mobile phone I tapped "accept" on the pad and had a whole spoken conversation with someone whilst talking to my ipad......I had no idea this was possible....
At much the same time I found I had a new follower on G2...an American in full military uniform ....no idea of rank etc. I just know brass when I see it....
I do very little now on G2. I only post occasionally , usually when I've taken a good picture but the numbers keep going up....
If my life gets any weirder I'm not sure I can cope...are you listening?
No I'm not talking to Siri.....though I admit that a few minutes ago I was trying to find info on the iPad whilst I was on the phone and pressing the wrong button brought me a voice " How can I help you today Jean"
The man I was talking to had never heard of Siri and clearly thought I was fast approaching dementia when I told Siri to go away and then reassured him it wasn't him I was talking to!
Do other people have days like this? If so I think I should be told! Please!

No one has as yet owned up to their lives getting weird....or in my case weirder! So it has confirmed my worst suspicion...it's just me! As I have also today received twos phishing emails I am now suspecting a plot!
Paranoia has never been my thing....but maybe I'm just a late developer in this area! Oh dear!

You don't really expect me to believe that you are having a conversation with a machine, do you???

You can't be Sirious. :-) :-)

By the way, has your heating been sorted yet??

Not properly I afraid....it's fortunate that we've had some mild weather because I am still waiting! The new valve has yet to arrive! Arghhhh I wonder if I asked Siri. ......

I have just upgraded to windows 10 - and strange things happen as I get used to personalising it to my own taste. The bugbear is a screen magnifier app, which you can't switch off unless you use task manager - and working out where it is on the system to disable it is proving to be a challenge :(

Agreed, Windows 10 VERY confusing.
