I'm always "OK, Google"ing at my Android Wear watch at work. I've been doing this for a year or so, and at no point has anyone gotten used to it. They all still look at me like I'm a little crazy.

Of course, when the voice recognition completely botches what I asked of it and I get frustrated trying to make it work right, I probably do look crazy.

Having had the same experience at my work (but from the other side), they possibly don't think you are crazy but would just like you to shut the fuck up.

"Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment."

This is entirely different since the person speaking your example has to speak that out loud as part of their job. Talking out loud to Siri or Google is absolutely not necessary in an office setting. Both are annoying, but only one is avoidable (and thus rude).

Yeah, or you're just being rude but nobody is telling you..
