My wife has hidden the TV remote

We had a little fight this morning before work over her leaving crumbs in the butter and i've came home to find she's hidden Megatron from me :( i can't turn the TV on any other way and i'm missing elephant diaries! I've tried thinking like a woman to try find Megatron, but the weirdest thing happend. I stopped to do the ironing. Now i'm back in man mode, so i have used my initiative and decided to ask for help.

If you were a woman, where would you hide the remote?

    Most TVs have physical controls on them.
    Also if you've got the correct smart phone (HTC one for example) that has an IR transceiver there may well be an app to get it to act like the appropriate TV remote. I have this on my phone - my girlfriend was not happy, even if she takes the remote I can still control the TV!

    As to the actual question, where would she keep the remote? Somewhere men never go - so wherever you keep the vacuum cleaner?

    She's probably taken it out with her.
  • In her handbag? The oven?

    I've got an IR blaster on my phone; I pity the fool who hides my TV remote

    I need Megatron back, physical controls require too much effort. Have you seen the wobble knob on a Samsung? You ain't changing channels with that thing. The Dyson is in the bedroom, i checked there and no sign of Megatron :(

    The only blaster i have is a finger blaster. She likes that ;)

    Just checked the oven, no Megatron but there was a cremated burger.

    I think you might have to untape the DVD, video, TV and Sky remotes.


    It smells wrong. I mean, the Megatron doesn't say "Urban free-wheelers", it says "Sofa masturbaters", you know?

    Ours fell off the arm of the chair and into my handbag and I ended up taking it to work! DH wasn't amused, me on the other hand, I was highly amused....:rotfl:

    Megatron? :rotfl: Do all men name their remote controls?!
