TV remote control missing

I bought a packet of batteries yesterday I remember buying them, I remember paying for them, I remember putting them in my shopping basket, I remember getting them out when I unpacked my shopping, but can I find the darned things, they are NO where

If anything is missing, I look in the fruit bowl - it's a very big one - and I'm often right.

Lost ours recently. Eventually found it next day at the back of the couch, there’s a little flap velcroed, you can pull it out to clean any crumbs that might have fallen down

I have left my remote in bedroom , kitchen , hall, but why the
garden shed !

Have you up-ended the sofas? My lost purse was stuck under the bottom of the sofa and every time we moved the sofa the purse moved too.
Failing that, the telephone cupboard. I put the bacon in there once as a teenager, only tracked down by the smell!.

Liaise, maybe the ghost that keeps nicking it is like me - can't stand TV's, so that's why it keeps going missing!

Good to hear you’ve fiund it and in one of its usual hiding places
I’ve wandered into the kitchen and put my tv remote on the radio which has an almost identical remote

fallen in something, maybe knitting bag, handbag, etc.
sat on it under a cushion. I sit on things regularly and then howl i cannot find them, stand up, oh, they are there
under a chair or sofa, I often think, Too small a gap, but no.

My daughter realised her children were taking it to their dad's house when they went for the weekend. Some sort of joke on their part.

Under the sitting room/sofa cushions. In the freezer. In the housecoat pocket. Under the table. In the junk drawer. In the first aid box in the bathroom.

Whingey

Found remote control behind sofa 😇

So pleased to hear than, I have the same problem at my daughter's place when I'm babysitting and it's often in or around the sofa there.
My husband has a habit of taking it to the dining table so that he can turn up the volume when he's eating, drives me mad...

Mine is always kept in a drawer beside my chair, because if I don't keep it safe the dog steals it to annoy me. Sometimes he jumps up as if to steal something /anything off the dining table, then when I go to stop him he jumps into my chair and sticks his nose in the slightly open drawer, to steal his real target, the remote!

Ah I was going to say right under the sofa, kicked towards the back.

We have a box to keep the remote controls in. It lives on the table.

Why don't people read ALL of the replies, it's been found!

As my DH commented that whatever he was watching was rubbish and switched the TV off our youngest DGD promptly took the tv remote and deposited it in the bin. We both laughed and said she was taking after our DD, who used to put her shoes in the bin if they were dirty. So if anything goes missing it’s the first place we look.

Could you have had it in your hand when you went to answer the door or your phone? Or dashed into kitchen to remove a pot that was boiling over.

If when you find it, it is accompanied by two keys you have never seen before on a yellow plastic key ring, and a pair of sun-glasses suiting my astigmatismns, could you send them along, please?

Apologies, have just seen that you ve found it 👍🏻

Kitchen drawer, handbag, toilet, dressing table??

My mum with dementia I am afraid puts hers in the peg bag!

Ask Saint Anthony ?

Many years ago both our TV and video remote controls were nowhere to be found.
Eventually I heard them, clanking around in the washing machine which was mid-cycle and couldn't be stopped.
Youngest child had put them in there and I hadn't noticed when I put the clothes in.
They did survive, surprisingly, though they took two weeks to dry out and gradually come back to life!

In the dog's bed ?

I was going to ask if you have a dog, cat or young grandchild? If so look in their bed/cot/toy box.

My niece couldn’t find their remote until it was discovered in their daughter’s dolls house nicely made up into a bed for
the doll.

So cute!

Ours not out!
