"Our smart home must know how must clutter we have, because it took it upon itself to rent a dumpster."

"Once I connect with my server over there, I can turn my lamp on and off."

"Let's take it step by step. How do I turn it on?"

"I wonder if this thing can read my mind..."

"I hate this smart refrigerator."

"The name's Alexa, Who's Siri?"

"The place is full of smart-tec. I'll show you around when it's finished downloading updates."

"Every appliance, every light, every bit of electronics in the house is controlled by a single remote that I haven't yet been able to find."

"For the last time...I'm Alexa, not Siri! Get it right, moron!"

"These smart devices are going too far. The stove asked me to speak into the salt shaker."

"I've got a smart phone, a smart car, a smart TV, a smart doorbell, a smart kettle, a smart heating system and a smart meter. . .In fact, the only thing that ISN'T smart is ME. . . !"

"Our smart home has a lot of features. Unfortunately, sarcasm is one of them."

"I love this new, smart coffee maker. It comes with a drone that flies to Brazil to get our coffee."

"I'm a home-tech specialist. Your daughter called us. I'm here to convert her doll house into a smart doll house."

"I'm just waiting for my phone to charge so that I can use the app to switch the toaster on."

"So I downloaded the app, registered our appliance, accidentally hit the delete button, and that the last I saw of our dishwasher."

"The world has become a strange place when you can check the stock market on your smart toaster."
