Strangest place you’ve found the TV remote

[StarSignGirl]

What’s the strangest place you’ve found a lost tv remote? Ours is missing so looking for some suggestions of unusual places to look - last time it turned up in the fridge!

In my car, where I normally put my phone!

Once when we had a sofa with loose covers we found it in the cover - a step up from down the side of the cushions!

The fridge is a common place for me to find ours 🤣

My dog walking coat pocket.

I have no idea how the chuff I managed that.

Not the remote, but I once found my glasses hiding in the wine rack?! I don't even drink wine!!

In my handbag, at the cinema.

My ds's underpants was the strangest

(And I didn't want to know-i think he was trying to wind me up and forgot it was down there)

I used to cart it around in my handbag as if he walked into the room,it vanished

I've also found it in the pocket of my oodie,down the side of the sofa,under the sofa and in the basket of crap (this lives under a side table)

Fridge
Garden
Dog beds

When my now-2 year old dog was a puppy, he was besotted with the remote controls and would run off with them. They ended up in all sorts of places.

When we find it I'll let you know!! We had to buy another, original still not found.

I remember my friend couldn't find hers all day. Hunted everywhere for it. She found it that evening in her daughter's school bag. Her daughter had taken it school because mummy had told her off in the morning! Her daughters now 16 and we still laugh!

The baby threw it off the balcony.

Very thin one we lost. Took off the sofa cushions. No. Months later found it between the arm and the base of the sofa, very hard to see. Right in the frame.

In a boot and it wasn’t found until after the summer because I unwittingly put the boots away for summer and got them back out in the autumn which was when the remote was discovered.

Lanzarote.

We live in the East Midlands.

My DH put our in the fridge once

A colleague was helping to wash a bariatric patient and found a remote in a skin fold! 😬

That genuinely made me 'Urgh!' out loud! 😫

Normally somewhere in the garden as it’s one of the dog’s favourite toys

My daughter use to put the remote down her nappy so no one else could use the tv/change the channel (she was incontinent for a long time). I use to have to wrestle her to retrieve the remote from said nappy multiple times a day...

In my bag at work, I picked it up thinking it was my phone, (when phones were a similar shape)

Not a remote but I found my dogs leather lead in my bag of crochet once. Lost it for about two weeks and bought a cheap rope one to tide me over, also used a retractable one back then. As soon as I found it I remembered why it was in there, but up till then, had no idea where it was

My DD, then just turned two, was playing chase the chocolate biscuit with her Dad. I was washing up when I heard a scream, and DH saying “Oh my God” on repeat. My DD had a slash from her eyebrow to her hairline. I could see what I thought was bone beneath the cut. The volume of blood was unbelievable.

i will get to the remote control soon, honestly…

I said that we couldn’t wait for an ambulance, shouted at DH to check he had his phone in case we needed to call 999 on the way to hospital (this was 24 years ago, and we still shared our phone). He patted his pocket, said he had it, and we sped off, practically leaving rubber on the road.

To cut a long story short, we got to hospital, were triaged, saw the doctors, DD was admitted, and DH then pulled out his phone… which turned out to be our remote control!

It was lost for a month. I found it in the spare bedroom on the top shelf of the cupboard in a pile of boiler suits. In the interim I’d purchased a universal remote and downloaded two different apps. 🤯🤬

Fridge. Chilling nicely.

Ours actually went through the washing machine as it got scooped up in the bed linen. It still works and looks nice and clean. 😂

My 4 year old is driving me mad because she keeps pretending the remote is her phone so it keeps disappearing and ending up either in her rucksack or on the climbing frame outside

I once found the remote….on the shelf WHERE IT SHOULD BE 😱
