I am too polite for my own good sometimes.
Not having much luck with the Amazon Echo. I say stuff like 'Alexa tell me about new skills' and she will rattle off 3 new skills. She will then ask if you want to enable the skills as they are rattled off and you either say yes or no, but because I am polite it keeps backfiring for me. I always say 'no thank you'
She often just hears 'thank you' and enables skills I don't want anyway.
Yesterday for example, 'Here are 3 new skills you might like. First skill is Paddy Power.' She then gives all the spiel and then says 'Would you like to try it?' I am totally not interested, but then say 'No, thank you' and she says 'Right, I have added it to your skills.' Grr!!!! I now have lots of skills I don't want. Easy enough to go into the app and disable them, but it's annoying.
Missus says 'just don't say thank you,' but I can't help it, it's in-built. I used to get so told off by my very strict parents for not saying please and thank you as a child, so always did.
Anyone else too polite?
I always apologise when someone bumps into ME, rather than the other way round.
My missus keeps saying Alexa is just a robot, but I am still so polite to her all the time.
