Siri went rogue on me and began drunk calling people in my contact list.

(Reposting here to hopefully find an answer.)

Serious problem behind the humorous title. Last night we were trying to get directions to a restaurant and I tried using Siri on the I-Phone for assistance. I said, "Directions to <restaurant>". In return it replied, "Setting up Facetime with <person I haven't called in so long I should have deleted the number a long time ago>."

How embarrassing. I think I stopped it in time, but when I tried to delete the number so it wouldn't happen again, the I-Phone tried to call it again!

I can't use Siri because it automatically starts setting up FaceTime calls with anyone on my contact list, and the selection is random.

Has this ever happened to anyone who owns these little Terminators in training?

You have to scream in my house's mailbox for me to get voicemail.

My phone is so stupid I have to go to the beach to surf the internet.

Sorry I can't help you.

I am also sorry I laughed at your predicament.

At least there's one set of problems my old, stupid phone saves me from worrying about.
