Siri keeps sending people looking for escorts to an esports bar

Sometimes, Siri gets it right.

Just kidding. Siri, you're a piece of trash.

An owner of an esports bar in Toronto says that his establishment has been getting some pretty odd calls recently, and he's pointing the blame at Siri.

Alvin Acyapan, co-owner of the bar Meltdown Toronto, says that if you ask Siri to locate a sex worker in the Toronto area, it will suggest their bar.

The bar also posted images of Siri's response to Reddit, where they went into a little bit more detail.

"We've been getting calls about it for a few months now. Thought it was just a prank or that my number is somehow similar to an actual brothel," Acyapan wrote on Reddit.

Acyapan says he was finally tipped off when someone called and asked, admitting they found the bar's number through Siri.

Another Redditor successfully replicated the response on his own device.

Acyapan told the Toronto Star that he initially dismissed the calls as a joke, possibly by someone who submitted their number on a adult services website.

"I thought people were getting the wrong number or maybe it was a prank by someone listing our phone number on some unscrupulous website," Acyapan told the Star.

Considering that the bar is an esports bar, Acyapan thinks it's possible that Siri confused the words "escort" and "esports," though it's not entirely clear why this would happen.

Acyapan reached out to Apple tech support as well as their Twitter account for help, but was unsuccessful with getting a response.

Apple did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment.

While annoying, at least Acyapan is keeping a good attitude about the whole thing.

“I see the humour in it,” Acyapan told the Star. “I always thought of it as a funny anecdote to share with my friends: ‘Hey, we run a bar and sometimes I get this kind of call.”
