So… this might sound crazy (but I’m going to tell you anyway ‘cause we’re friends. Don’t’ judge me too hard)…
Anytime I ask my phone for driving directions, it’s kind of like my own, mini romance novel.
Why????
Well, I changed the settings so the voice coming out of my phone is an Australian guy 😁😁😁
While this certainly isn’t earth-shattering news, it sure has made driving more fun!
Imagine, if you will…
ME: “Where is that store again?” [Asks phone for directions]
Siri: “Alright, I’ll look that up for you.” [Said in HOT Australian accent]
ME – Thinking: *Why, thank you, hunky phone voice. I sort of enjoy having a man who just does whatever I ask him.*
Siri: “Turn left at the light, then stay right.”
ME: “Yessss, sir” 😁
… and the fun continues till I get to wherever I’m headed!
I ask for directions A LOT MORE now, let me tell you! Going home? (even if I know the way)… Pull up directions. Driving from the front yard to the back yard? May as well talk to Siri while I’m doing it.
It’s like having a mini-book boyfriend ❤️❤️❤️
The only “smile-to-big” moments I’ve had so far with this is the last time my husband rode with me in the car and I asked for directions….
Husband: “Did you change the voice on your phone?” [Looks as me]
ME: “Yep.” [Keeps eyes on the road, and not for safe-driving reasons]
But the next time I got in his car?…Guess what?
There was an Irish women’s voice giving direction on his phone! 😂
Alls fair, my friends! Happy reading!
