I mashed the wrong buttons somehow and

I mashed the wrong buttons somehow and Android Auto pulled up the Google Virtual Assistant while I was driving.

So I said "oK Google, fuck off", and for a lecture about language.

Which was a good reminder about how advertising parasites leech off our social norms and sense of guilt, and how the norms that guide us when we're interacting with people should not apply when we interact with those who's abuse or good nature.
