It’s Saturday morning and your children want to watch their morning cartoons.
You look on the couch, on the kitchen table, by the TV, but you can’t find it anywhere – where is the remote?
Your children are getting antsy so you enlist their help and, ten minutes later, you find it in the dolls house.
Go figure.
We’ve all been there before – the lost remote.
No matter when it happens – during an annoying commercial, before your favorite show or during a movie – losing the remote usually ends up with everyone in the room getting on all fours in a frantic race to see who can find it first.
At Tekoia, we know how frustrating it can be to lose your remote. This is just one of the reasons why we developed the SURE Universal Remote app for your smartphone.
But, what surprised us the most are all the funny places your remote ends up.
Let’s check out the top 5 funny places people find their remotes hiding.
1. Have You Checked the Sofa?
Even though this isn’t quite funny, it is obvious, right? But, leave it to the remote to wedge itself in-between the couch cushions, under the sofa or even in the cushion.
According to a survey done by Logitech, up to 41% of lost remotes end up hidden in the sofa.
While this is usually the first spot to look for the it, it doesn’t always yield the remote.
It usually takes two or three times to finally find the remote hidden somewhere behind a couch cushion.
2. Have You Checked the Bathroom?
Ah, the commode, the loo, the lavatory or the potty – up to 8% of people find the missing remote in the bathroom.
According to the survey, people inadvertently took their remote to the bathroom during a quick break in-between a commercial.
You would think taking it everywhere you go would mean you wouldn’t lose your remote, but its seems the reverse is true.
Another good reason to make sure you wash your hands after you go to the bathroom!
3. Have You Checked Your Dresser Drawer?
In third place, we have the dresser drawer. Maybe you were looking through some important papers while your show was on, or a certain part in a movie reminded you to go find something in your hutch.
Whatever the case may be, a fairly common (and funny) place to find your remote is in the dresser drawer.
4. Have You Checked the Freezer?
Do you like to snack when you watch TV? What’s your go-to snack?
If ice cream is your snack food of choice, next time you lose the remote, instead of looking in the couch, check your freezer.
Up to 4% of people found their remotes in the weirdest spot – the freezer.
5. Have You Checked Your Car?
Yes, you read that right – 2% of people find their remotes in their car.
The top 5 spot goes to the funniest place to find your remote – your car. If your remote manages to make its way outside and into your car, it’s time for the Sure Universal remote app.
