I'm very nice to Alexa, but my wife tears her a new one almost every day.

I was nice until it started to advertise "new features I might like" after every third thing I ask...
"Alexa - set an alarm for 8:00am tomorrow"
"Alarm set for 8:00am tomorrow morning. Would you like me set an..."
"Fucking no. ALEXA - shut up"
"... alarm for this time all week?"
---
"Alexa, set a timer for 5 minutes"
"5 minute timer set. Did you know you can give..."
"ALEXA! Shut the fuck up."
"...timers a name? Then you can refer to them by name."
---
"Alexa, is it going to rain today?"
"There is a 30% chance of precipitation today. Would you like me to read..."
"Alexa.... no. please just stop talking."
"you the weather results for the rest of this week?"
