Uh.... I don't think so

Ok, so my wife has the day off today! She calls me at work and ask "Where is the remote? It is not where you usually put it!". Now how in the flippin heck am I going to find a remote over the phone. How am I going to log that in my database. "User(wife) cannot find remote. Had customer reload TV driver. Works fine now"?!?!

Ahhh! I see a minature paging device being placed on the remote for such purposes, assuming of coarse the pager has not been misplaced! :D Seriously though haven't had much problem with the remote, but thank goodness for the paging function on cordless phones!
As for the impromtu phone call at work from one's spouse my wife is the QUEEN of the redundant or arcane. I.E. Oh are you at work? Do you know where I put my car keys??? At 7:30 AM - What do you want for supper tomorrow night??? And the best one - What is your work # all I know is Speed Dial #2???? :D

lmao

1)"Instructed user (wife) to peel her lazy a$$ off the LazyBoy and find it herself."
2)"User then proceeded to whine."
3)"I then hung up the phone."
4)"User proceeded to send email bombs to me and call in with prank technical support problems."
5)"I'm now getting ready to jump out the window..."

Anybody remember those "keyfinder" keychains that would beep if you whistled? Maybe duct tape one of those on the back of the remote.

Yeah! I think they have those a Brookstones. For people that have no idea what Brookstones is: Brookstone is a overpriced man toy storem usually located in shopping malls.

hahaha that's hilarious.... luckily I sit on my @$$ all day waiting to talk to customers that usually end up calling as soon as I leave for the day... so it's a welcomed call when my wife picks up the phone for a quick chat... but she never asks me where she left stuff.. that's good :D

At my last job, one of the salesmen always left his clipboard laying in one of the aisles and could never find it. So we got him a pager for it so that he could find it everytime. We taped the pager to the clipboard, and the remote to his keychain. It never failed him until he lost both his keys and the clipboard. :)
