TV Remote

Kitsune

Does anyone else have specific places for items to be stored and find it really frustrating when other people in their household don’t put things back in the specific place and as a consequence of that the item gets lost?

So our TV remote lives in a little slot between some books on the top shelf of one of my bookcases in our lounge. Except today it isn’t there! My husband has misplaced it, again!!! And he’s at work so I can’t get him to locate it. This annoys me on so many levels. Firstly, it’s half term and I could really use the TV as a back up to occupy the children. Secondly, if he just put it back where it goes after he’s used it then it wouldn’t get lost! Thirdly, he is a repeat offender of losing the TV remote, previous places that it has eventually been found include the kitchen, our bedroom and the garage, I simply do not get the logic of taking the TV remote to those places, just simply leave it where it belongs and all will be well! 

Rant over!

  • Haha!  I don't have a TV, so don't have a remote - and I live on my own.

    But still I keep finding things in places where they shouldn't be!  The number of times I've mislaid my keys - yet I always but them in a glass bowl on the kitchen top.  Sometimes, though, it appears that I don't.  Either that or the cat moves them.  Or I have a poltergeist.

    Seriously, though... it would drive me nuts.  My last partner was always moving stuff around - often when I was out. As if I wouldn't notice.  When I'd return and move it back, she'd say 'But I prefer it there.'

    But it's my flat!

    If it was just me, I could happily live without a TV but a TV is a handy device for occupying children while I’m cooking/cleaning/other. 

    LOL! a poltergeist that likes moving keys! 

    I have a serious issue with people not putting things back where they go/not putting things back properly. I even get wound up in shops if people have either knocked something on the floor and just left it or put something back in the wrong place, to the point where sometimes I actually have to stop and put the item back in the correct place. So many issues in my house would be avoided if people just put things back correctly, things wouldn’t get lost, cupboards would stay tidy, I wouldn’t trip over random stuff on the floor! But, that said, I like my life and I love my kids so I guess a bit of chaos and things getting lost is just the price I have to pay.
