Morning school runs are usually routine, get the kids in the car, survive the traffic, sip Coffee from my trusty tumbler, and maybe sneak in a bit of podcast time.
But that day, I made the mistake of talking to Siri.
While driving, I said, “Hey Siri, call my wife.”
Siri, with the confidence of someone who has never been married, replied:
“Which one? Suzila Isteriku Munawar, Suzila Isteriku Tercantik Sedunia, or Suzila Munawar?”
Before I could defend myself, my 14-year-old son Adam, sitting at the back, sensing danger like a cat hearing a can opener and said loudly:
“Wow Abie!!! You have three wives?! Careful Abie… nanti kena tidur luar.”
At that point, my daughters were already laughing, and I was calculating the odds of Siri making it through the rest of the trip.
Just imagine if this happened in public and the WIFE was sitting right next to you. That’s not just “funny anecdote” territory! That’s a public trial without a jury.
Now your wife freezes mid-sip, the barista stops steaming the milk, and the uncle at the next table lowers his newspaper just to get a better look at the guy who apparently has three wives.
In that split second, you have to choose:
- Laugh it off (risky).
- Blame Siri (safe but suspicious).
- Or fake a call and pretend Siri was asking which contact group to use (expert-level damage control).
Lesson learned: Siri may be smart, but she is not designed for marital harmony.
Also… do not test voice commands when your kids are in the car, they are too quick to turn small things into big dramas.
