    Separate room with (nicer) TV just for you. Call it your "study", it sounds classy.

    You can do like Steve Martin did.
    Speak English but emulating whatever accent they use.

    Yes but unfortunately I see ads for it and awful, awful dramas when watching football.

    I was using Alexa+ (the new Alexa) on Echo Show. And, I asked about a product. It pulls up a list of products. It asks me something like, "Tell me which product you would like to see details for!". So, then I go "Alexa, let me view item 1!". Then, it goes "Order has been placed!". Then, I go "Alexa, I didn't ask you to place an order!". Then, it goes "You're absolutely right. I'm sorry!".

    LOL. It turns out it never placed an order as far as I can tell. But, WTF man?

    People on speaker phone in the supermarket.
    I don't understand why it's so hard to put the phone to your ear.
    I don't need or want to hear about you Dr's appointment.

    Me, washing my hands at the kitchen sink and catching a whiff of something rancid: ‘OMG! What is that smell?!?’, looking in the garbage disposal thinking my wife tossed something bad and hadn’t run it yet, then looking at what she has in the crock-pot, which is ground turkey. ‘What is that?’ I take a smell of it and gag.

    She says, defensively ‘it’s good until October 26!’ As if that matters at all. ‘Ok! I won’t make it!’ Like it’s a personal affront to her.

    Why even take it personally? It’s bad meat, not a commentary on her makeup.

    I had bought a 1 pound turkey meat log. It expired oct 15 so I was two days late using it. I cut into it and release it in the pan. I then took a whiff of it. It had to be off as it was giving off a smell I couldn't identify but smelled gross. So, what I do is I wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the freezer to be tossed on trash day. In fact, I put anything I know that is going to smell up the trash in the freezer until trash day. It can get busy in the freezer there.
