Minor Bitch . . .


. . . No, not Lindsay Lohan.

Automatic: largely or wholly involuntary, acting or done spontaneously or unconsciously, done or produced as if by machine.

Our car has Bluetooth. So do our cell phones. When we turn on the ignition, the phone automatically connects to the car's sound system so we can dial and talk hands-free, using only voice commands. It's so Captain Kirk.

Almost.

When I turn on the ignition, my cell beeps. And beeps. And beeps. When I dig it out of the pouch, there is text on the screen that says: "Automatically connect to Sync?"

Bulletin to the dolts who develop the software for Samsung:

IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, IT ISN'T AUTOMATIC
