Those things are always listening which is why I don't have one.

Same here!

That's why I wouldn't have one, either. grin

Do they never sleep? Can you turn it off?

The OP had obviously ordered them from Amazon before and Alexa was asking if she wanted to reorder.

Who says our smart equipment is not listening?

Just experienced an extremely embarrassing episode, courtesy of our WiFi smart speaker. Alexa kindly reminded me ( out loud ) that it was time to order some more female incontinence towels. Very kind of her - but problem was this was in front of three visitors !! Embarrassing silence followed but I thought it might be a good idea to warn anyone who orders things from Amazon that Alexa will speak!!
