    Default Where did that thing go!

    Don't you hate it when you lose the remote? It taunts me so. I haven't seen mine for days. I've scoured my entire room with no luck. Seriously. wtf!

    I noticed that once I tend to figure out where my remote normally dissappears it finds a new hiding place in my room

    Discuss remote losing stories!

    I think that a remote should be have a beeper that goes off when you hit a button on the side of the T.V. Much like a phone.
    Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?

    Mine is sitting right in front of me, but sometimes the junk on my desk swallows it and I won't see it for a good couple of days.

    Thanks to Sagensyg for the sig!

    My brother lost the remote quite some time ago. I have to get up when I want to change the channel. Fortunately, I don't change channels much.

    I've never lost mine. They are always somewhere on my bed.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    In my room I only have a small TV which I can cotrol without a remote, and have done for years. If I lost the remote to the downstairs TV I would go insane as there is no way to control it without the use of the remote.

    Gawd, I hate that!

    I'll be watching the TV, then instinctively reach towards the right for the remote. I'll pat the couch, then actually start looking around. Then, because I just spend way too much time on the internets, I think "Control F" and then my brain melts.

    I lost my remote perhaps 3 years ago or 4. In fact I didn't lose it, either my sister or one of her squealling brats did. I thankfully have the worlds smallest bedroom so I don't even have to get up to change the channel. I might just get a digi box so I can turn channel by being even more lazy, or I might just get a new TV. Since I am looking to move out, new TV seems more likely.

    Yeah but at least you can call that and find where it is. I have wondered the same as Dolentrean at times, and never figured out why it's not been implemented. Also, remotes always end up in really random places that nobody could or would ever put them. At least phones go missing sensibly

    I only have a cell phone so I can guarantee not losing it and if I can't find it for any reason I just call it from someone else's and follow the sound of "foo fighters - the best of you" to it's source

    The remote loves to play hide and don't find. It will come up, eventually.

    I agree, since I almost always have it set to vibrate. I can call it, but I can't hear it.
