The case of the missing remote!

The case of the missing remote!

Those who know , know.....

I can NEVER find the remote!

For hours this morning I tore my apartment apart looking for the firestrick remote.

In the couch? Nope...

Under the couch? Nope...

Did it somehow migrate to the kitchen? Nope...

Did the evil kitty start playing with it and somehow manage to drag it somewhere??

I had finally given and relinquished myself the pain in the ass blueray player when I saw something from the corner of my eye. I had moved my vining plant last night because the Evil Tilly just would not leave it alone, tearing the shit out of it where it was, hanging above my chair.

My cute, little baby kitty has become a terror of a ....

In the process, I had set the firestick remote on top of the book shelf where I had put the plant. That thing could have been lost for days....

I would have never thought to look there.

Thank God for small miracles.

    my ex housemates have an entire pile of remotes they go into a large container on the coffee table. but the universal remote for the TV is typically lost in my old sofa with the covers. sometimes i find it. sometimes i don't.

    the last time i used the remote at my friend LULU's i turned her Netflix to German? she had to call them to get the English back...
German... Now that takes talent. Lol. I don't even think I've ever seen a spot to change the language.

    OMG, that's so funny

    I thought I was the only one misplacing the "Remote"

    and, of course, there could be various remotes if you have a sound system, a dvd player, Netflix and others

    but, here's the thing I don't have pets in my house

    however, when the grandkids or kids come over, they grab whatever from wherever and you may not find stuff for days

    or have to replace it

    I'm laughing

    glad you found it

It's good to know I'm not the only one this happens to! The TV in my living room is old enough that it isn't a smart tv.... So I have to use my firestick or the blu-ray if I want to do any streaming. I seriously considered switching out the tv for the one in my daughter's bedroom until I found it. LOL It's a little smaller, but it's a smart tv and I would only need one remote!

    I had problems with my T.V. box yesterday. I could turn it on and off with the remote but couldn't change the channels or do anything else with it.
    The remote just needed re-setting!
My firestick remote isn't working worth carp right now, either. I even put new batteries in it. Very frustrating!

    They do not! And, yes, it is the biggest problem. There should be a button you can push on the tv that makes the remote beep when it's lost.
Hey now that's a great idea, I'd buy a TV if it came with that feature. Maybe you should patent that and get one built.

I have a solution.... A button on the tv that activates a beep in the remote when pushed. I know it would work.

    I used to lose my remote until I put velcro on it and on it's resting spot, now it's always right where it's supposed to be.
I have a habit of holding the remote... Even at night when I'm watching tv in bed. What normally happens is.... I get up to do stuff and set the remote down, forgetting where it went.

    I still do stuff like that all the time. My dad would be terrible at taking his glasses off in one part of the house , but most of the time, they would end up in his building and he would always find them a few days later. Good thing he had a spare when he drove.
I always take my glasses off and put them in the same spot. You can see 2 pairs of them in the one photo. Lol

    New priest complains to old one that somebody has nicked his bike. The old guy say " same thing happened to me when I first came here. Tell you what, they are good people, give them a sermon on the ten commandments and stress "thou shalt no steal" and I'm sure you'll get it back"

    Been there. The crazy places I've found things I've misplaced.
    And then there's some things, I still haven't found. Yeah... every once in a while, I'll poke my head into a new nook, wondering if I'll find it.
    I doubt it... It's gone forever. Or until I move. Or when I'm dead and they sell the place and empty this space. 🤔
In the couch this morning I found 4 socks, 1 necklace, 2 popsicle sticks, a phone charger, a scrunchie, and a bottle of nail polish. Note to self: remove couch cushions more often!! Talk about horrified....
