Remote Control

[jrtv]

Why do people press harder on a remote control when they know the batteries are flat ?

[sammd]

Coz they think it will squeeze out any last drop of energy...

[Grunty]

For the same reason that they shout at someone who does not understand English?

[maggie01]

Same reason you drive faster when you are running out of petrol.

[sddsddean]

...or keeping pressing the lift call button.

[Toureman]

Because there not all as clever as you.

[brawburd]

because it works!

[Why??]

it's so true, and why do we hunt around the room looking for it when we can't find it rather than walk over to the TV to switch over?
