I found an old remote for our DirecTV that Mrs. Cad didn’t know about. SHE controls the controller so every so often I would pause the TV, fast forward, rewind, go to menu, etc. Not all the time, maybe 5-7 times a night.
It rapidly progressed from, “That’s strange.” to “What’s going on here?!” to “Why is it doing that?! Fix it!!” to “OOOHHHH! I fucking HATE DirecTV!”
I know I’m an ass but it got so pitiful that I stopped and confessed less than a week into it but it still haunts her. Now if the TV acts weird, she looks over and asks if I have a controller.
My daughter does this to me, but she waits until I am using the controller and then countermands whatever I’m trying to make the Tivo do, making me think that the controller is screwed up.
