That’s hilarious. Was with a female human. Your version is a hell of a lot funnier though. Poor Dog. Poor Baby.
Get this woman an Energon Cube! Stat!
Oh man, I hate what we call the dreaded “clicker hunt!” Every damn day, seems I have to turn the house upside down looking for it. Once, I found it in a bag full of magazines that were destined for the trash (found my keys in the same bag). Another time I swore the thing had gone to “clicker heaven.” The whole family hunted high and low, looking everywhere we could possibly think of, even the fridge (I have small children, you know). Turned out, the previous evening, my hubby had (and don’t ask my why) stuck in the pocket of his work uniform pants and discovered it–long after we had given up the search–while looking for his pocketknife!
But see, then I’d actually have to walk to the television to pick it up every time I wanted it. That extra three feet (wait! six feet, because I have to go back to the sofa) might make me strain something. 
I accidentally packed my DVD remote. In March. I miss it.
It had been about three weeks since I last saw the TV remote and I was finally so sick of changing the TV manually I ordered a new one from the manufacturer. I don’t like the generic universal remotes. My remote has to match the TV darn it. Anyway, it was shipped to me UPS ground so it took like a week to get to me. The entire time I was still changing the TV by hand. New remote finally arrives so I go to get the box cutter from the junk drawer. As soon as I slide the drawer open guess what pops out? The old freaking remote!
Hubby and I find that two remotes come in very handy. We moved and when we had our cable installed, they gave us a ne remote but we still had the old one that apparently got packed in the move.
Now we each have one and while Hubby loses his daily, I always leave mine in the same place. And then I ransom it to Hubby.
Maybe it’s just me that finds two remotes handy.
I keep all my remotes on the coffee table. It’s no guarantee, but they rarely find themselves much further than a foot away from it (floor, couch) so I’ve never had any trouble with finding them.
However, my TV remote doesn’t work anymore. Luckily my VCR remote has working TV functions that apply to my TV, otherwise I’d be buggered.
Moot point anyway. You have to use the old remote to “teach” the functions to the universal remote. I found this out the hard way.
I found mine in the freezer once.
It still worked!
You sure? I thought all you had to do was program it from a code specific to your type of TV.
Are you actually sad enough to go on the net, and start a thread about the fact that you can’t find your fucking remote control ?
First off, lazy cunt - get off you’re lard arse and change the channels.
Secondly, don’t post complete wank to any chatboard. Nobody thinks that’s cool.
That is all…
:eek:
Not necessarily. My universal came with a book of codes arranged according to manufacturer and application. I had another that had a procedure where you kept pushing a certain button till your TV turned off, then you set that signal. This after the old remote got lost in a move.
Tarantula, my forefathers are from Ireland. And you are a complete cunt.
Judging from your handle, I’d say they’re from Cork. Now if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle “black”…
Aaaaaand so…

I keep the remotes on the coffee table in front of the couch. The only time there is a problem is if I keep it in my hands as I wander off to perform some other function i.e. grab a beer, take a leak. I have been known, on occasion, to return to the room sans remote. No problem if I notice right away, big problem if I don’t. That being said, I am a great believer in the hereafter. Manys a time I will wander into a room and exclaim “now what the fuck am I here after?”.
Tarantula, whilst this is the Pit, there is no need for the level of hostility you’re displaying here, especially towards someone with whom you have no apparent prior beef.
Tone it down a notch.
What pisses me off is that some electronics do not have all of the necessary function buttons on the device itself. So if you lose the remote, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can do everything by getting up and walking to the entertainment center. I don’t mind getting up to change a channel. My DVD player, for instance, has only a couple of buttons on the front. If I lose the remote, I can’t play many DVDs, because you have to select a different option than the first highlighted one, and I can’t do that w/out remote. I know, that’s clear as mud.
Notch toned down.
