misidawnrn Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Dear stepdaughter, please don't lose the remote, say that you lost the remote...then leave!:rant::banghead::cursing: I was in my sewing room and the 3 girls were watching TV. DSD said "geez, I just had the remote, now I can't find it." The girls gave a half hearted attempt to look for it and I went back to sewing. I came up and DSD was gone....and so is the remote. UGH. She is coming back tonight. Guess what she gets to do. We have all looked for it and still can't find it. She will have to retrace her steps I guess. I know it's not the end of the world but you need to remote to make the TV do anything. Darn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Oooh, that burns my butt, too. Last night I was searching all over my scrapbooking room for the remote. Kept asking the boys if they'd seen it. "No, Mom!" After about 20 minutes, I went in their room and there it was under ds2's bed! UGH!

Desert Rat Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 That toasts my cookies, too! I found our remote in the pantry once! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaMa2005 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Oh, I feel your pain RIGHT NOW! DS has lost the remote for the DVD player and we have looked everywhere. DH tried to reprogram the remote for the satellite so it would work the DVD player and now NOTHING will work. Steam is coming out of DH's ears. Two trips to Wally World for "Easy to Program" remotes has just caused more blue words and stomping of feet. To top if all off, DH had to have oral surgery today and wasn't in the best of moods to start with. I have sequestered myself in the other room and DS has gone to bed. Not a good way to end the day.

black_midori Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 We have a lady who comes and cleans once a month or so, and she keeps putting the remote in the toy boxes!! Seriously?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Several years ago I purchased and extra large universal remote. It is 6 inches by 1 foot. Hard to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 So what I want to know is WHY there is no locator button on the base unit (TV, DVD player, cable box, etc.) for remotes like there are for cordless phones. That would make all our lives so much easier!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make all our lives so much easier!! Gosh I have been on facebook to much. I went to click "like" right after reading this. I have often said I need a locator button on remotes and on key chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 That's just crazy! And I'm a cleaning lady! :) Maybe she thinks it's a toy? At least you know where to look for it after she's been there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've often wanted a locator too! My 3yo once flipped up one of the headrests on our love seat, unzipped it and stuffed our DVR remote into the batting. She decided to reveal this AFTER I ordered it's replacement.

Matryoshka Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 They make them! This is just one brand. Gosh but it would make sense for them to just build the finder into the product the remote is for, like with the cordless phones. If you have multiple remotes, that after-market product would get confusing (which one do I press for which remote?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funschooler5 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 That drives me crazy too! Why doesn't the TV itself have buttons on it? We are totally reliant on that stupid remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 My dh was going crazy last week because we couldn't find the remote anywhere. Finally, after several days, we found it in the branches of the Christmas tree. The toddler struck again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plink Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Did you check the freezer? :tongue_smilie: I know a very distracted man, who shall remain nameless, who thoughtfully put our remote on ice for the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
