A young man from Texas has left TikTok users in hysterics after recording his mother in an argument… with Apple’s virtual assistant Siri.
Aberhaam captured his mother’s conversation with the virtual assistant at a point at which his mom had already grown quite frustrated, with Siri presumably not understanding what she wanted.
Aberhaam’s mom repeatedly asks Siri why she is being ‘rude’ and ‘not nice’ while getting nowhere — only to pivot and apologize to the AI assistant to make up.
At odds: A young man from Texas has left TikTok users in hysterics after recording his mother in an argument… with Siri
Come on, Siri! Aberhaam captured his mother’s conversation with the virtual assistant at a point at which his mom had already grown quite frustrated
‘Why you are so rude to me?’ his mother asks firmly — to which Siri answers, ‘Hmmm… I don’t have an answer for that. Is there something else I can help with?’
Aberhaam, who lives in Dallas, regularly shares funny videos with his Arab mother, including many in which he teases her for her pronunciation of various English words.
In this video, uploaded in December, he doesn’t let her know that he is recording her, instead lurking behind walls and laughing as he records his mother’s unsuccessful attempt or order food.
‘Hey Siri,’ his mother says in the next room.
‘Uh-huh,’ Siri answers.
‘Why you are so rude to me?’ his mother asks firmly.
‘I ask you, and you don’t help me. Why you are not nice?’ Aberhaam’s mother demands
‘I ask you for cajun food,’ Aberhaam’s mother interrupts the voice. ‘In Dallas. Hey Siri. Be nice.’

‘Hmmm… I don’t have an answer for that. Is there something else I can help with?’ Siri responds.
‘I ask you, and you don’t help me. Why you are not nice?’ Aberhaam’s mother demands.
Here, she gets no answer.
‘Hey Siri. I tried to deal with you. Why you are so rude to me?’ she asks again.
‘Hmmm… I don’t have an answer for that,’ Siri once more replies.
‘I ask you for cajun food,’ Aberhaam’s mother interrupts the voice. ‘In Dallas. Hey Siri. Be nice.’
Here, Siri doesn’t respond again — and after a pause, Aberhaam’s mom tries a new tactic.
Rudeness won’t fly here! HIs mother repeatedly tells the AI assistant to ‘be nice’
After a pause, Aberhaam’s mom tries a new tactic. ‘Hey Siri,’ she says. ‘I’m sorry.’
‘OK, thank you, bye,’ Aberhaam’s mom concludes after Siri says it’s ‘no problem’
‘Hey Siri,’ she says. ‘I’m sorry.’
‘It’s no problem,’ Siri answers.
‘OK, thank you, bye,’ Aberhaam’s mom concludes, all the while Aberhaam films his own reaction as he laughs silently nearby.
Commenters on both TikTok and Reddit are going wild for Aberhaam’s mom, calling her an ‘angel,’ ‘sweet,’ ‘precious,’ and ‘the cutest mom I’ve ever seen.’
‘Siri you better be nice to her next time,’ one commenter chastised.
‘The most wholesome thing about this video is she has such a grounded base of what’s right and wrong that she apologized to software after she realized she didn’t like how she responded to Siri,’ said a Redditor.
‘You better call Apple rn and tell them to apologize,’ another commenter told Aberhaam.
