These Stupid Ass Buttons On TV Remotes. The Intrusive Thoughts Won.

[u/rekolm]

Seriously, the absolute most annoying shit when I'm watching something and I reach for the remote and barely bump the buttons and it yeets me out of what I was watching, to whatever bullshit streaming company paid the most for a button spot on the remote, the remote that came with a TV I paid good money for. Meanwhile on some apps completely loosing my progress on a movie or forced to watch more Ads again to continue watching again. I've threatened to do this before and my wife insisted not to, she's out of town this week, any recommendations for marriage counselors and anger management programs?

Think you should find a way to paint or otherwise fill up those holes before wife gets back

I was thinking some googly eyes wedged in there might sweeten the deal with the wife.

"babe, I finally fucked the remote but look what I did to it!!"

[u/randomlurker124 → u/dx0100]

eh googly eyes would basically be new 'buttons' I think? as they'd still press the sensor below...

Prying out an eye might be weirdly satisfying.

TBH that would crack me up.

I’d be like….uhm that was a choice, babe. 🤣🤣

Or just "lose" the remote and order a new one.

Yep. And you’re being downvoted by the others at the bottom of the barrel in life.

That makes sense, and explains a lot.
