It Happened Again Last Night

You made me smile, that's cute. My husband usually has the remote and I usually have the phone (division of labor, I guess) so it hasn't happened yet. But I bet it doesn some day. Thanks and take care.

Hey carolbee! I was lmao when I read this! I have done the exact same thing! So you are not alone! Yup! I also grabbed the remote thinking it was the phone! And thankfully no one saw me either! I was asleep too! That's why I don't like to answer the phone when I'm sleeping! But I bet you can really laugh about it now! Did you tell your husband yet?

Yes....like trying to brush your teeth with lotion....both sit next to each other and both are in tubes that look alike.....and I have done more then that too....when I am thinking of one thing and doing another! LOL....

Hello carol bee. It is funny of you to take the remote control as the phone. Smiling. It is also lucky of you not to have been seen by your hubby. I am sure that he would have had a good laugh if he had seen this. Good day to you, friend.

Hi carolbee, Yes, hahaha I sits here with my laptop and my phone. remote controls at my coffee table, I have picked my remote to answer it when it rang, and my husband just rolls his eyes up and calls me stupid because I am so ingrossed in Mylotting, silly. Tamara

hello carolbee lmao at you! that scene needs to be on a television sitcom. lol but i do not think that i have ever picked up something in place of the telephone receiver before like that thou. lol i am just glad that you didn't have to get up out of the bed when the telephone rang and bump yourself on your end table or something like that and hurt yourself. lol you know? lol i wouldn't have been able to answer the telephone when it was ringing after saying hello into the television remote. thanks so much for sharing that funny story with us all around here at Mylot. take care and have a beautiful evening.

That is really funny. I definately have. When I was on vacation I had my cell phone and my digital camera in my purse, they are both around the same size and kind of feel the same. I tried to answer my digital camera one time. It was so stupid, but no one saw me. Of course I missed the call.

Something similar happened to me, except it was with my alarm clock and not the remote control. Like a lot of people, when I have to get up early, I put my alarm on. And the alarm clock that have, the buttons are all in the front, all small, and close together. I keep my alarm clock on a night stand next to my bed, so I don't have to get up to turn it off. Anyway, one morning my alarm clock goes off. And I reach out to press on the snooze button. But it wouldn't turn off. SO I keep pushing the button. It took so long to realize that I wasn't pressing the snooze button. I felt so ridiculous. I thought that there was something wrong with my alarm clock.

That's funny! This is what I have done before I realized what I was doing. I'll be watching TV and at some point I'll start waving the remote in front of the TV. And I could never figure out why. And then it hit me. On my computer, if I am idle for too long, the screen saver comes on, so I have basically gotten into the habit of moving my mouse around every few moments when I am reading something online that I know will take me a long time to read. I finally realized that I was treating my TV like the computer and the remote control like the mouse! As if a screen saver would come up on the TV! I'm glad I figured it out and quit!

ya sometime your mind takes u to the thing u like most may be you are too obsessive towards ttelevision serials & remote so u too often like to pick that what u like to i have not faced such curious situation in my life but if i face i will certainly let u know
