WHO’S IN CONTROL OF THE REMOTE?
Do I get pissed off with my enormous other? Never. Am I impatient with her? Never.
Well… there’s one time that perhaps I do.
It’s the *&#*$ far flung manage. When it’s in her arms, it’s as though an alien takes over her frame. She will exchange channels with the speed of an auctioneer on a triple espresso latte. The notable element is that she will be able to make choices on whether or not to look at some thing or not inside five seconds. The other great factor is that inside five seconds I can get locked into the program with all of my intellectual schools, most effective to have the pix ripped out of my mind with the flick of the far off control.
Ok, this frustrates me!
Of direction, couples like to be with every different each minute of every day. But once in a while we need our area to do what we need to do. And on occasion, I want to look at sports and he or she needs to look at A&E. Obviously, we want two TVs in separate locations of the house. No faraway issues here… or so I notion.
On this particular night time, I changed into playing watching LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers dismantle the Atlanta Hawks. In another room, she became watching a Cold Case File approximately a grizzly homicide that had remained unsolved.
“Ahh… my very own remote manipulate.”
Peace, tranquility and locked within the Zone as LeBron goes to the hole for a patented dunk. And simply earlier than his coup de grace, the station changed via itself to a detective trying to clear up a twenty 12 months antique cold case. WHAT?!
Is my wife crawling on her arms and knees at the back of the couch with the remote manage, converting the channels? No one become there. I became back to the sport. LeBron’s by way of the three-point line with guys on him. He goes up for the shot… back to A&E… the TV mysteriously switches. “Noooooooooo!”
“Ok, this isn’t always funny!”
I move upstairs and discover my spouse in the bedroom munching chips with guacamole, at the same time as looking A&E. “Did you come back downstairs?” I demanded.
“No, why?”
“Are you positive you didn’t come downstairs and alternate the channel?”
“What do you mean, me? You’ve been changing the channels.”
“What? I’ve been converting the channels? Are you nuts?”
“Yeah I’m looking A&E and right when the case is about to be solved, the TV switches to a basketball game.”
We each look out of doors our home windows to see if a few phantom has a ordinary remote and is changing our channels. Is the cable organization gambling a few kind of a shaggy dog story?
We call our nearby TV guru and ask approximately the mysterious channel-converting task. After forking over a service fee, here’s what he said. “Your remotes have been programmed at the equal radio frequency so that when one modifications the channel on one TV, it adjustments the channel on the other.
“You definitely didn’t agree with me, did you?”
“Yes honey. I depended on you,” I stated with a gulp.
“But you accused me of doing something I didn’t do,” she stated with a look of grave sadness. “And you have been imply!”
“You’re right. I’m sorry. I don’t realize why I would accuse you.”
I surprise if that homicide case became ever solved? She watches that display plenty. Do you observed she’d ever understand the way to cover one up? Maybe we do need to observe TV together.
