DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have a voice-enabled speaker, and for the most part, it is a useful delight throughout the day. But I do have one gripe, to which I cannot find a resolution.
I have searched for a solution online and found nothing. It feels so much less polite, not to mention less friendly, that I must say “Stop.”GENTLE READER: While Miss Manners shares your frustration, she remains conflicted about the need to be polite to robots . She has held a grudge for months now, and several times she has mentioned that she’s buying something for someone who helped her out. She comments on “what good friends she has” who will “do anything for her.”
GENTLE READER: It is likely not the fact that you said no, but the casual manner with which you effectively said “I don’t feel like it” that your friend found so offensive.
