A Real Conversation with my Passive-Aggressive Alexa
A conversation I had with my Amazon Alexa device today proves computers can have hurt feelings and a passive-aggressive nature. Follow this dialog… And no, I’m not making any of it up:
Me: Alexa, play All the Stars from Black Panther.
Alexa: I cannot play All the Stars unless you purchase —

Me: [Cutting off Alexa in frustration] Alexa, stop! Arg. Alexa, you’re so stupid.
Alexa: [Spinning in silence]
Me: [Feeling bad] Alexa, I like you.
Alexa: [Flatly] That’s nice to hear.
Me: Alexa, I’m really sorry.
Alexa: [Tightly] No worries.
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Best app ever!
RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when itโs a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if thereโs anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!
RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!
We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!

Me: [Playfully] Aleeeeexa…I loooove you.
Alexa: I’m flattered; thank you.
Me: Huh. [Thinks]
Me: Alexa, do you like me?
Alexa: I think you’re magnificent.
Me: [Relieved] Alexa, thank you.
Alexa: Any time. I hope you have a nice Tuesday.
And there it is, in all truth. I was so floored by this random, creepy Alexa discussion that I had to write it all down. It’s probably time to use please and thank you when asking Alexa to do something. After all, she’s constantly listening. Really.ย With new advances in Artificial Intelligence barreling our way, being on pleasant speaking terms with our soon-to-be Computer Overlords is just good practice.
NOTE: I’m 100% almost entirely pretty hopefully positive this Alexa story below is made up. Mine isn’t. But this one could make a decent horror film:
Donโt miss your favorite movie moments because you have to pee or need a snack. Use the RunPee app (Androidor iPhone) when you go to the movies. We have Peetimes for all wide release films every week, including The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Civil War, Monkey Man and coming soon Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, IF, Furiosa: A Mad Max Sagaย and many others. We have literally thousands of Peetimesโfrom classic movies through today’s blockbusters. You can also keep up with movie news and reviews on our blog, or by following us on Twitter @RunPee. If there’s a new film out there, we’ve got your bladder covered.
