A woman named Siri wrote to the CEO of Apple Tim Cook asking for a computer as a gift, as a form of "compensation" for being targeted for years by jokes about her name.
Siri Hafso - this is his full name - he said that until 2011 he was happy to have such an original name.Many congratulated her for the uniqueness of her name and often had fun feeling in those who tried to pronounce it correctly as they read it for the first time.
But everything changed when Apple introduced his virtual assistant and called him Siri;Since then, in a sort of counterpoint, she has found herself having the most common name in the world, pronounced every day by millions of people in turning to your iPhone.
He also had to endure years of jokes of friends and acquaintances who made fun of her because of this homonymy and for this reason he thought that something was due in return.
So he wrote to the company based in California to ask for a computer as a gift.
In the letter that Siri shared on Tiktok you can read: "Hi Tim, I go immediately to the point, I have a favor to ask you.As you can see, my name is Siri.Yes, Siri.And until 2011 I was a girl who could never find her name on a key ring in souvenir stores ".
"I was the only teenager sure I know when his turn was from the doctor, because the nurse looked at the waiting list confused and did not know how to pronounce my name.I was the only girl to whom everyone said what a nice name!Nice and unique!So I think you understand where I want to go to parry ".
The rest of the letter is obscured, but in Tiktok Siri's video he explains how he had to endure years of jokes about his name and how he hopes that Apple gives his laptops for his thirtieth birthday because this is his "only desire".
The superimposed text on the video reads: "I wrote an e-mail at the Apple CEO asking for a computer because I think they must me after enduring years of jokes about Siri.I am 30 years old next month and I don't have a computer, this is my only desire, please help me contact you via tiktok."
The video, uploaded a few days ago, has already received almost 40 thousand likes and a multitude of comments.
A user from Tiktok, Superjake, said: "Honestly you deserve it.I imagine all those who screamed your name followed by the most improbable commands "
But the pearl is the comment of another user who said he "totally sharing the pain" by Siri.And probably never comment was more sincere and heartfelt.
For the record, the Tiktoker in question signed up Alexa.
