Oh man, my wife gets trolled by Google Home all the time.
Her: "OK Google, set an alarm for twenty past six, please." Google: "Sure. Your alarm is set for five twenty AM." Her: "OK Google, change alarm to twenty past six, please." Google: "OK, changed your alarm to seven twenty AM." Me: "OK Google, change alarm to six twenty." Google: "Sure. Your alarm is set for six twenty AM."
Though often she just trolls herself by assuming it's way more magical than it really is, making up her own wake word and blurting instructions at the speed of light:
"Heygoo-set-a-timer-for-ten-minutes"
She doesn't bother to wait for confirmation or even to check that it's woken up, and then pulls surprise Pikachu face when 15 minutes later the food is burnt and the timer didn't go off.
Asking Google to set an alarm is impossible. "Hey Google, set an alarm for 10 minutes", "OK, your alarm is set for 10 minutes", "OK Google, when does my alarm go off?", "There are no alarms set right now", "OK Google, when does my TIMER go off?", "Your timer will go off in 5 minutes". Actual troll.
Tbf alarms are set to go off at a specific time (at 12:30), timers are for a specific period of time (in 10 minutes). Not defending Google, fuck them anyway
