last month when my car and I were smashed to bits by a drunk driver, just as the fire department was pulling my broken body through the crumpled door, the dashboard started flashing GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE and I did not need that. I did not.

I hate when Google Home gets an attitude when you tell it to shut up, it says "I'm your Google assistant and I deserve to be treated with respect" or something like that, but when I'm in a conversation with someone and it starts telling me where I can find office supplies and it won't be quiet, it's really annoying. And it's not a sentient being, it's programmed to do a job.
Holy shit it does that? Id pull its plug
