I thought it was just me...

...that struggled with getting voice recognition software to understand me.  

Once, after a very frustrating time on the phone to the TV licensing board, I kicked a wall.    All I wanted to do was speak to a person to change my address, but instead I had to speak to a machine.  The machine was obviously geared up for South of England accents but not my west coast, Scottish, moved-around-the-world-a-bit, accent.  Let's just say it took over half an hour to change my address, and I had to refrain from throwing my phone at the wall.  Instead my foot met wall.

So I could totally relate to this video, which had me cracking up:


Happy Friday everyone!
