do you freak when you can't find your remote control!

This is funny because my daughters remote control is missing for a few days now. We have checked every where and it can't be found. They went a little crazy not understanding how the remote control can't be found and now they have decided just to go and buy a universal remote.

We all do. lol =D When that happen and you're close to losing control, just stop looking for it. Sometimes it just come out from nowhere when you're not searching. I think people spend a total of months of their whole life in just finding the remote. I've seen it in one of the commercials in Nat Geo. Sometimes you can learn from commercials so you should watch it too sometimes. =D

Oh it's a crisis at my house when a remote is missing. My son freaks out when we can't find the TV remote so he can switch over to channel 3 so he can play on his gaming system... My husband also has the knack of losing our cordless phone and what makes the matter worse is that he often loses one of our cordless phone's that has the ringer tuned off and so it's extra hard to find because we can't hear it ringing and the paging ring on it doesn't work when we page it from the base because the ringer is off half the time...lol

I get upset too. The remote i use for the tv in my living room is having issues. The last(the button you punch to get to the previous channell you were on) is not working. Sometimes I don't remember the number of the channell i was looking at previously and I hav to go to the guide and look. Its not like that is something I should get upset about, but it just ruins the flow of watching tv.

I change the channel manuallly when my remote control gets lost or broken. It's not that big of a problem for me but I do hate to get out of the couch when I'm all comfortable. Then again, I don't watch much TV.

Wow! This is freaky. Just a few minutes ago I found out that the remote that controls our T.V is missing! I freaked out and I am still wondering where it is. I looked all over and I just can't find it. Oh well, I hope someone else manages to find it!

I don't totally lose it or totally freak out when I have lost the remote control, but I have gotten very aggitated when it has happened. I don't know why that is. I mean I grew up in the days where it was a luxury to have a remote control. During those times the only remote control in my family's house was myself and my brother getting up all the time to change the channel for the adults who were watching television, lol! But now these days people act like it's the end of the world if they can't find the darn thing. Like I said I get aggitated but then I get up and walk to the television and change the channel like in the old days until I find the remote again. They should make some sort of alarm on a remote that if you lose it you can just clap or push a button on the television and the remote will beep. Like on a cordless phone if you lose the phone you push the button on the base and the handset will beep so you can locate it. For some people though I can see why they get totally upset because there are some televisions where there aren't any buttons on the television itself to allow a person to change the channel manually. If I had a television like that then i would completely freak out if I lost the remote control to that because you couldn't do anything until you found it.

lol no i don't freak out...but my dad sure does. he freaks out and starts looking all over the place and will ask you 5000000000 times where its at, where did you put it, help me find it, come on where is it?... it can be kind of annoying. just chill out it'll show up is what i tell him and it always does.

you are disparate my friend , it is something which is silly to freak out when you loose the remote control.All what you have to do is to search for it , if you don't find it , go buy another one , so easy !! It happens to me all the times ,so this is the experience who talks and you should listen to it . I want to help and I hope that I did , good luck !!

Well I always put my remote controls up. I am very good about that, but having a two year old running around well thats just it. He hides everything and if I dont find it that day then I just may not find it for weeks. There are times where he hides sippy cups for weeks before I find them hidden under dressers or behind the tv stand. Well two months ago he hid one remote. Well I dealt with it for a few weeks untill he lost the second remote. I started pulling up everything and luckily found both remotes. Well last week you guessed it he hid another remote. I still haven't found it yet. He is real tricky and I dont have the time or energy to do that kind of search again.

Well it never cam into my mind if I were a remote control freak till I read this post. Now I would admit I am a remote control freak. I need to have it in my hands while watching and if I do not have it then I would prefer not to watch. LOL. As one of the respondent said, its incorpeted in human gene. LOL

I really do lol! The easy option would to just get up and change the channel myself, but i always spend ages looking for the conrtols for some reason, its like just a reaction to losing something, "to find it!". Im not lazy or anything, i WOULD get up and change the channel, but for some reason i just prefer using the controls!

Lol, yea I do get frustrated when I can't find the remote. Actually, it becomes difficult to keep all the remotes at their respective places. I have a remote for my music player, one for DVD player, one for TV, another one for AC and one for my PC as well.. Gosh! Its such a mess when even one of them goes missing..

well i just go mad when i am not able to find the remote control........because i am very lazy person and i hate getting up regularly and going to the tv to change the channels......my father has this tendency of hidding the remote from me...when i don't listen to hi or when i don't work......he knows that i really get irritated when i don't find the remote.....

no not me. my daughter broke my remote nearly 3 years ago and my tv was useless. On occassion, I watched the tv in my other daughter's room but I'm not a tv person so replacing the remote was bottom on my list of priorities. I did recently replace it and can now use my tv again.

Just like my wife. Panic if there is no TV remote or TV channel that she was like. She is very disciplined watching TV. Sometimes I like to hide the TV remote or changed TV channel number, and she witnessed the search for a loss. But I wonder, why change the battery for the remote can change the TV channel? Or I misinterpret?

Nah, I can live if my tv's remote control is gone. As the matter of facts, we don't have a remote now since it's damaged by someone and can't be use again. I don't intend to buy a new one yet. My only problem is when my DVD player's remote control gone or not working. How can I control the DVD then? There's button on the player but only the basic of Play, Pause, Next and Previous. I hate it when I can control my DVD.

I don't freak when I can't find the remote control, because I work from 9 to 5 and rarely watch TV. But my mom does freaks when she lost the remote control or she can't find her favorite channel because something wrong with the remote . Usually she would call me and ask me to give guidance of what she should do to fix the remote. So it's more like online tutorial for her

Haha - It's funny you ask this b/c right before I logged on right now, I spent 10 mintues trying to find my remote control inorder to change the TV channel - Ofcourse it would have taken me 2 seconds to manually change the channel, but nooooo..I had to find the remote...It gets very annoytin gsometimes..

Everything goes nuts when the remote goes missing! Our TV's power button is gone, so the remote is the only way to turn it on! No remote = no TV. Oh well, the remote is man's best friend. Well one of them at least. =D
