This thread will be good to discuss about things that currently tick us off.
In my case, TV REMOTES. Why? They're hard to find after you lose them. For the past few weeks I have been trying to find my TV remote for my new TV in my room but it's so hard to find. I even had to put a status on Facebook saying that if people can list me places where I could of lost my remote I would buy them a Coke! But no, this whole thing has to be a freakin' trial of insanity and patience. Both of which are now on the borderline! You would think since we live in the year 2009 that companies would be aware of this problem. Haven't they thought of an idea like a homing device on the TV remotes which helps us find it easier? Think about it, you lose a remote. Then there would be this button you press on the TV which emits a loud sound in which helps you find said lost remote. When you find it you can press a button on the remote which means you just found it. That would be much easier and convenient. Why doesn't TV companies do this for us? Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution for not losing TV remotes because I would love to hear it.
Anyway that's my rant. Either discuss or come up with one of your own.

inb4W.O.W.subscriptioncancelled The only thing I could suggest is to shy right away from Universal Remote Controls. It wouldn't be the best thing to lose 8 different remotes at once! (Maybe your homing sound device exists in Japan, i dunno )

Tis true Borgie - you are a genius! My rant - I repeatedly tell my brother 'don't leave the remote on the couch' - because I can never re-locate it again, and I spend ages foraging around trying to find it: but does my brother listen - NOOOOO!!! And he's got it into his head that he needs to eat eight weetbix for breakfast every morning, but ends up leaving half of the soggy mess in the sink - why can't he just eat four? Is it not manly enough to only eat four weetbix and not eight? Whenever he comes home from Monash, he eats EVERYTHING then complains there's no food in the house... Seriously...... Sometimes my brother drives me crazy.....

Soggy weetbix are always disgusting... I think your brother has that idea from the telly that eating up to eight makes him some kind of a superman. If he really wants to consume a manly breakfast tell him to drink a can of Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator (Good luck finding it...).

attach velcro to it and the tv! Then whenever you're done you can just stick it there

Confucius says: "Invest in a Universal Remote."
Advantage: All your remotes will be much easier to find as they would all be in the same place. Disadvantage: Lose that, then you're boned!
