Do you use Siri or Alexa for ‘odd’ reminders?

The other day, Fletch overheard his wife asking Siri to remind her to put deodorant on.

We know SIri and Alexa were created to serve many purposes, and one is to remind us to do things.

What’s the oddest thing you’ve used Siri/Alexa as a reminder for? Tell us on Facebook.

Fletch says he uses it for “normal reminders” — like, “Siri, remind me to get chicken feed” or “Hey Siri, remind me to pick up a prescription.”

Jai doesn’t use Siri or Alexa for anything . . . she likes keeping it old school with post-it notes or by texting herself.
