An automated personal assistant can be very useful and sometimes even entertaining. For instance, asking Siri how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood will always give you a funny answer. Or, you can ask her to tell you a joke and usually get a good response. But, below are 11 things that are not a good idea to ask her.

11) Don’t Say 108

It started out as a prank on social media, but calling “108” is the equivalent of calling “911” in the United States. Fortunately there are five seconds where a caller can cancel in case the call was dialed accidentally. Calling emergency personnel is truly for emergencies only. Many police departments have issued warnings to not use this feature unless true emergency care is needed.

10) Siri Isn’t A Crime Detective

A phone can be used in evidence in court, this includes search history and images. Joking around and asking Siri crime questions for fun wouldn’t be so funny if a person got picked up for something else. Authorities wouldn’t take it lightly if questions relating to crime were recorded on the phone, even if made in jest.

9) Snarky Mathematician

We all need a little help with math sometimes, but if you also would like an insult added to your question, then asking Siri what zero divided by zero is.

8) Get Ready For Sass

If you are still in the mood for sass, then call Siri “Cortana.” Cortana is Microsoft’s personal phone assistant and Siri doesn’t take it lightly if you call her that either by accident or on purpose. She will dish out some sarcasm if you call her that. I guess she has a case of jealously.

7) Siri’s Relationship Status

If you are curious about Siri’s relationship status, then prepare yourself for a truthful answer. She doesn’t hold back giving her feelings on what romance would look like for an electronic system like herself. She is quite the realist.

6) Embarrassing Nicknames

Be careful if you decide to ask Siri to call you a funny nickname. She just may end up calling you that in the most embarrassing and inappropriate time.

4) She’s Not A Medic

It is never recommended to ask Siri for medical help. For medical advice, only a professional should be consulted.

3) Sounds Like . . .

Siri does her best to comprehend the words you are saying, but sometimes she matches the closest word she can understand, and it can be far from what you are wanting.

2) Keep It Clean

It can get frustrating when Siri doesn’t understand what you are saying, but swearing and getting angry at her can also upset people around listening.

1) Who Doesn’t Love A Good Story?

And, to end with something you can ask Siri, with a little bit of persuasion you can get Siri to tell you a story. She will reply with quite a cute little short story.
