A woman was left seriously creeped out when she discovered a mysterious event labeled “my death” on her iPhone calendar for May 14, 2026. Unsure how it got there, her partner shared a screenshot of the entry on Reddit, asking for advice on tracking down the source.
Social media users quickly speculated on possible explanations. Many suggested voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, or Google could have misheard a command. One user wrote: “Maybe she was trying to add an appointment for something else and it misheard her.” Another added: “The stuff Siri mishears and confidently records is commendable.”
Others noted that calendar syncing could also be the culprit. One commenter said: “If you’re synced to Google Calendar, literally anybody can add anything. Mine is filled with spam invites on every date.”
This isn’t the first time iPhone users have reported creepy misfires like this. One Reddit user recalled a similar incident: “I once asked Siri to ‘remind me to buy cat food tonight,’ and somehow she misheard it as ‘you die’ and offered to put this reminder in my calendar.”
The post sparked both concern and amusement online, with users sharing their own experiences of voice assistants misunderstanding commands, often leading to unexpected or confusing reminders.
The woman remains unsure how the reminder appeared, and the bizarre incident serves as a reminder of how technology can sometimes misinterpret even simple instructions in unsettling ways.
