I was so excited when I first got my iPhone 4 that she was able to decipher my strong Texas {read: Ellie May Clampett} accent, making her the first digital voice-thingy EVER to understand that I'm saying "Tyler" and not "Taylor," {I felt understood!! Finally!! Someone GETS ME!!}. Seriously, every time I try to talk to any kind of voice recognition system it is totally an exercise in frustration and futility as I try to speak as un-twangy as possible until the machine gives up and says, "I can't do this. Please hold for an actual human." But I discovered fast that that's the extent of Siri's usefulness.
Not ONCE has she been able to help me with directions, or anything else, and just this week she couldn't even find a business phone number while I was sitting in the business parking lot because she was giving me numbers on the other side of Texas. I mean, I hardly have any patience anyway and then she goes and acts stupid like that. I would SO fire her if she were my secretary.
And clearly she needs some Bible education. Really? You can't find Second Corinthians when I have a Bible app right here on my phone? Am I asking too much?!
So after what seemed my millionth futile request for Siri's help, I got fed up and told her exactly how I felt...
Oh. So NOW look who's so helpful. Smart aleck...

Ha! I might be the only person left in the world who isn't in a hurry to own an iphone. The computerized voice on the cash register at Walmart is enough to put me over the edge.
