On the plus side she didn't lock herself out for a long-time...but what does that have to do with me?

When this happens to me, I try to use The Force.

hasn't worked yet.

I tried it to help find the remote tonight and it didn't work either.

Good news everyone, crisis averted.

My wife found the remote on a table where it shouldn't have been anywhere near. My thinking is that she may have put it there herself.

Thank you for all your help. It was much appreciated.

Where did you get that? I want to get one for my mom and somehow attach it to her phone.

Where do lost remote controls wind up anyway? Is there some far and distant land where remotes of all ages run free? Well despite of where they wind up, the Remote Wrangler can help you keep them enslaved in reality. No more getting stuck under couch cushions.

The Remote Wrangler keeps them one of the only places its impossible to lose them. Right on your skull. The velcro-like stretchable fabric fits around your chin and dome to create an ugly mask of productivity. The fabric is supposed to feel like a second skin, but just looks plain uncomfortable. Like some weird strap for a torture device.

Only two styles are available so far. “Antique Olive”, for those fancy formal parties, and “Retro Sportsman”, for those times where you need your remote handy to play soccer with some pals. But don’t feel restricted to only put remotes up there. What you put on your head is totally up to you, and the size of your head. — Andrew Dobrow

I honestly can't remember. I bought it to give her the gears after locking herself out for the third time.

It was sitting on a table the entire time?

Was this table hiding in the attic?

What sort of Shanahan-esque estate do you live on? My god man, an entire thread for a remote that was on a table? That would've been a quick search in my hovel, I've got all of two tables in the whole place.

Congrats on finding it. Lost remotes bite like Ruutu.
