Where The F is the Remote Control??

[Slacker]

Begin rant

Do you know where the remote is? oh somehow it fell into the couch cushion, could we leave it on the end table when we are done with it?(repeat daily for one year, phrasing changes but tone is the same)

Hmmm, have you seen the remote? ahh there it is, it fell behind the tv stand, please put it on the table when you're not using it.(repeat daily for one year, phrasing changes but tone is the same)


Where is the Damn remote control, every F'ing day searching for the remote, WTF is it doing in the bathroom? :|(repeat daily for one year, phrasing changes but tone is the same)

WHERE THE FVCK IS THE G@D DAMN REMOTE CONTROL, WTF, FOR YEARS ITS BEEN THE SAME SH!T SEARCH HERE SEARCH THERE UNDER THE COUCH ON THE MICROWAVE IN THE KIDS ROOM, F@CK, ENOUGH ALREADY, DO WE NEED TO CHAIN THE DAMN THING TO THE TABLE? (repeat daily forEVER, phrasing changes but tone is the same)

There are only two options, a lock box to store them in, or some sort of implant that would allow me to control the tv/receiver/cable box/dvd with my mind :|

buy some cheap universal remotes and place them through-out? that way you don't get this pissed and we won't have to listen to your rants here.

I think this is my first rant, but is it so hard to put the remote on the table? is it?

 

[EyeMWing]

We actually have one of our remotes chaned to the table.

I once found my phone in the freezer

never had any problems with the remote, though... it cost $200, so I guess my roommate knows better than to leave it laying around anywhere

Heh, heh, I sympathize. Between the wife and 2 kids the remote(s) are never to be found. They might be under the cusions on the couch, in the corner of the living room under a table, in the dogs' dish, in another room or, once in awhile, they just disappear forever like a sock in the dryer.

That's why I quit watching TV years ago.

There's something to be said about this. Also, pouches and/or velcro stuck to the side of chairs or tables seems to work. Don't know why putting the remotes in these places is any different than putting it on the table, but it is.

i just put a little patch thingy on my remote that beeps whenever i push the button on the little base station i keep on the fridge . . .

I've got my own remote, and they have theirs. Mine stays on my table, and if theirs is misplaced, they can get up and change it manually, but my remote stays on my table!

Same with my scissors, Scotch tape, keys, pens and cordless phone. They stay right where they belong, no ifs, ands or buts.

/rant on #again

That was one of the things that really bugged me when I lived at my moms house. I bought a 61inch TV, Reciever, DVD player etc, and whenever my brother was watching TV, or listening to something, , he'd hide the remotes and never turn anything off. He also left my DVDs in the DVD player when he was done watching them without returning them to their cases and to the bookshelf where I keep them.

WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST FRIGGIN PUT THINGS AWAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE USING SOMEONE ELSES STUFF!!!!!!

Such a feeble rant... wait til you have children..

"where's the remote"
is followed (after a 10 minute search between seat cushions, etc.) by
"where the fvck did the batteries to the remote go?"
6 remotes.... 3 are missing the battery covers.

hahaha, then the base station rings by pushing the clip that s always on the fridge

 

[nsafreak]

I guess I should be happy that hasn't happened with my remote. Then again my PDA can double as a remote if I really need it to be although the IR range is lousy. I'd probably be more pissed if my remote was more than the $50 I paid for it and it started getting lost.

 

[Rogue]

I still do not understand why every home entertainment device with a remote doesn't have a built in locator device like most cordless phones do. Push a button on the television set, the remote starts beeping. Push the button on the DVD player, remote beeps. I'm sure it wouldn't even add more than $2.00 to the manufacturing process and customers would be all hot and bothered to get a component with such a feature, guaranteed.

You're obviously delusional.
We have 9, count em, 9 cordless phones.
I defy you to come to my house and locate just one sitting in the charging cradle at any given moment.
I've become so well trained that I look on the stove or beside the toilet first.
If Slacker comes up with any answers, I'd LOVE to hear them.
