Tell Siri the same thing twice. First she will say "do you?" Second time she will say something different.

I totally agree with the OP. Just set the damn timer, I don't need some un-funny joke every ********** time.
I've been using the timer probably once a day for a year or so. It ALWAYS comes back to me with "Ok X minutes and counting".
I do have the male Siri though. Maybe he is less witty

RadioShack now offer tanning? I wonder if they use those soldering irons to tan you... you don't want to be overdone with those.
At the end of the day, you're upset with an "Artificial Intelligence" digital assistant, and the way it responds. You could always switch over to Cortana on the windows 8 phones. I hear she's much friendlier.
In heavy use of SIRI yesterday, I have to admit that I got a few annoying and unnecessary responses.
Perhaps one of the voice choices could be an optional Deadpan SIRI that eliminates these responses. It only consumes nano ticks on the heuristic calculator anyway.

The closest you can get to a solution is to turn voice feedback off which is less than ideal.
I can't say they bother me that much. I was using the "hey Siri" function from about 10 feet away and it only picked up the last half of my sentence three times before I said "Hey Siri, go ... yourself" and its reply was "I hope you don't kiss your mother with that mouth" which made me laugh.

I'm laughing my head off here. Some other responses are also hilarious!
Are we now getting to the stage where we will get insulted by AI devices? If it bothers you that much then don't use it or set it manually. OR, just see the positive side of the fact that its not boring voice chat and it actually has some personality which is what a lot of people love. If it was a real person doing these remarks you wouldn't be able to change that person either so try to approach it that way and you will be ok. IF you can't do that then just do it the old fashioned way.
It's still hilarious though, your iPhone voice assistant "upset" your gf. HHAHAHAHHAHAHA

I have the female voice and I hardly ever get any routine witticisms.
I do find this entire thread fascinating. It's almost like Siri has different personalities. I wonder what triggers each one?
He's irritated at the human beings who allowed the heuristics to be able to take the perspective they're taking.
At least that's the way I looked at it.
I'm not as annoyed as the original poster, but when you mean business it's just a little silly, that's all.

It's the heuristics. The programme takes a chance based on what you've said.
Just out of curiosity, I did exactly what the original poster did. I did not get all the responses he got, but to the 60-minute timer I got exactly the same response he got.
I'm probably going to get rocks thrown at me here, but I'm going to go out on a limb and comment that I have a little better luck with "Okay Google Now" than I have with "Hey SIRI."
I have a Moto X that I bought just to see what the fuss was about, and I've noticed that I get fewer errors and better detailed help with Google than I get with SIRI.
Maybe that's just me.
There's no silliness with Google, either, at least not in my case.
My Siri is a male voice and he's very serious and he really gets annoyed and gives me snippy responses when I try to joke with him. Maybe we need to trade Siris and you can have my Siri with the stick up his circuits. I do find it interesting that they seem to have personalities. I guess it's appropriate someone who calls herself "Grumpy Mom" would have a Grumpy Siri.
What did your GF say in response to Siri's comment about her tanning? Did she laugh it off?

Siri is the most useless thing in my opinion ever put on the iPhone. I used it maybe 2 times since 2011. Maybe I am old school and like touching the clock app then setting the alarm instead of telling my phone to set it.
