Alexa Has Suddenly Started Speaking To Me In The Middle Of The Night- Freaky

[gordiescotland1]

I was lying in bed at 3am fast asleep and I got the fright of my life I have an Amazon Alexa dot she suddenly started speaking to me saying that its the little things in life that make her happy, what would I like to know how can she help me? She could help me by shutting up when I am trying to sleep!! Unless I am talking in my sleep there is no way I would have said Alexa to get her activated. Freaky

Big Sister is monitoring you !

[aelmpvw]

she's probably interpreting your snores

And Alexa is reporting your every request back to her bosses.
They will know more about your habits than you do!

I had similar garbage driving me near insane from my tablet when I first had it; but I was trying to get to sleep at the time not sleeping. Took me ages to get the damned thing to shut up. I can't recall how I did it but it was related to some Google carp. First night I think that I shoved the thing out on the landing.

Perhaps your Mum has fiddled with the controls when she last came round to nick your licky allsorts?

Probably flonska... I tried to set my sister's one to make ghost noises at 3am, but she didn't know how to :-)

A sudden noisy blast of wind breaking the silence kicked started her in to action... as it would most women.

Slightly related but not Alexa----
Lying in bed this morning around 8 am and thinking I really must get up...........
the main ceiling light came on of its own will!

Are you suggesting Gordie has a flatulence issue Snags?

[pixie374]

Have a look on your app, gordie. It will give you the history of what she heard.

[snags]

Yes.

[pixie374]

Lol :-)

So maybe "silent but deadly" is the way to go if Alexa lives with you.

Hmmm, does Alexa have a sense of smell yet?
