I know the meme format is kinda wrong. It's also kinda right.

My dude! I can’t believe this is such a pervasive problem! Pretty much every person that I know who connects their car to their phone runs into this issue especially in the case of couples where both phones are paired and it’s just some kind of headbutting match to see which device randomly wins out, which is guaranteed to be the phone you didn’t want connected. In theory their priority system, but in practice Bluetooth device discovery and the connection process seems rather random.
I wish my car had an option to disable auto connection and a prominently displayed button to explicitly connect to a recent phone upon request.
Ugh, the car!
I live in the heat. I have to start to car before hand, just to make it so the family doesn't melt to the seats. It connects. I switch it back to my headset. I go back in the house to get stuff to load up, and I go out of range. Get back in range. It connects again. I switch it back to the headset. I forgot something....
Rinse and repeat like 5 times before I'm good to go. Whole time, I'm only catching every 10th word of whatever someone is saying to me on the phone, thinking it lost service, or they hung up on me.
I hate auto connect.
