Arghissimo: let's try that again (please fix up, O kind Mudelf) .... ---- Apologies for threadbombing* ....
In the comments on an article about Bluetooth pairing bugs, a couple of instances of karmic payback:
I use it on the Bluetooth speakers that some idiots insist on using on trains. After connecting it plays an audio file in English, Arabic and Pushtu of a female voice saying "My son, if only your father had used a condom".
Eldest used to get annoyed with one particular boy on the school bus who insisted in playing unedifying music through a Bluetooth speaker. Eldest reslised that the speaker was in pairing mode immediately after being switched on so would try to get in first, and if successful would play slightly more edifying music. Maybe theme tune from Thomas the Tank Engine or sommat.
Annoying boy apparently never worked out exactly what was going on.
