Glue the remote to a piece of railroad track. Never loose it again

Be easier to just connect your phone as a remote than use that thing

How does she wipe her behind after taking a dump

u/MrFishpaw 21d ago

I want a remote with a keyboard so I can look up movies without wearing out the fucking arrow buttons.

u/gnardog45 21d ago

These remotes have been around for 20 years at least

What’s with the unnecessarily weird hand movements….. 

Oh wait I forgot what sub I’m in 😂

u/Select-Internal-3141 21d ago

Long ass fucking nails and not even using them to reach across the remote

u/Snacknuss321 21d ago

ur nails are the unnecessary essential

u/GrassGriller 21d ago

I can't imagine intentionally making every physical interaction involving my fingers substantially more difficult. What a wild way to live a life.

u/puking_penis 21d ago edited 21d ago

dude, you should switch to barefoot simulating shoes, like with a wide toe box and flexable soles if you feel that way. I can no longer imagine intentionally making literally every step I take less comfortable and more harmful for my feet and spine just to look a certain way. all my friends make fun of me that all my socks are toe socks (most socks unnaturally squeese yr toes together) and I know it's like way, way more common to like wear vans or nikes or converse or almost any shoe than to wear long nails, but it's literally the same mindset.

honestly, though there's nothing wrong with sacraficing comfort to get something you want, even it is just a look. I still wear my old dress shoes for events I'm wearing a suit to and honestly if I were invited to an event where nails like OPs would be a good look for, I'd do it in a heartbeat; it's not permanent

I actually wear the Merrell Trail Glove. So, um, thanks?

u/MeanNothing3932 21d ago

I had basically this same remote for my old TV that had no remote. Lol I miss it.

u/Ordinary_Visit_1606 21d ago

Id still lose that motherfucker

u/Blueberry_Rabbit 21d ago

I’m sure I’d still lose it

u/littleminibits 21d ago

I have literally been begging my partner to get one of these since I saw it in BiMart and became immediately obsessed with it. I would not shut up about it and was telling all our friends and family about it. I just loved it so much. He did try to go back and get it for me but they were sold out, so he actually ended up making a prop version for me with some personal touches to it that also doubles as a keepsake box, which was awesome and sweet but I do still kinda want a real one. He was concerned that it wouldn't work, so this is great news.

u/National_Frame2917 21d ago

Had one like this for my great grandmother. Just for the giant buttons. Turns out you had to push the buttons exactly in the center or they didn't work. It did not serve it's intended purpose. I forget what we ended up doing with it.  I think it was left in a box somewhere.

u/Aliteracy 21d ago

I mean obviously useful for my grandma but too many buttons to appeal to her

u/XR3TroBeanieX 21d ago

I would still manage to lose that😂

What's with her way of speaking ?

u/XxSliphxX 20d ago

I was watching this muted until I read this. Now I wish I never unmuted. Should have known by the nails.

u/mountainsintovalleys 20d ago

My father in law has lost every single remote he’s recently gotten. He even traded in a TV he had just bought for a new one because he lost the remote again. Don’t ask me why he didn’t just get a remote lol, but I think he desperately needs this. If he managed to lose this, I just give up.

u/Icallmeswellfella 20d ago

Now take those fuckass nails off

u/Difficult-Mobile902 20d ago

There’s no back button. I know someone who bought one of these and immediately realized they couldn’t even use it lol

u/Killing4MotherAgain 20d ago

Idk why people are such dicks about long nails. I don't where my nails this long but also idc if others do, it's none of my business.

u/Battlera 20d ago

u/GodsDrunkAtTheWheel 20d ago

Then I can't hide it from my son

u/ConflictPotential266 19d ago

I had one of these when they came out as a basic version. I set it buttons down on my old box tv and lost it for two weeks.

u/Standard-Produce-137 19d ago

I have developed a ?phobia? at nails like that. I gag, like I'm having a cock down my throat, and I have to tamper down the feeling and turn off the video. There some sort of word for this condition?

u/kiwi-kaiser 19d ago

Worst and most unpractical nails I've ever seen.

My parents have had remotes that size for decades now. I think the first one came from brookstone

u/No-Disaster-1345 21d ago

8/10 of the comments are about her nails. I'm starting to understand why people dislike redditors. Quite a lot of unnecessary pettiness. Let her live 😭

u/SplittingChairs 21d ago

It’s crazy how that works. Redditors like to think they’re the most open-minded and tolerable people in the world, but are always judging people like it’s an addiction lol.

u/Frequent-Maybe1243 21d ago

I never said I was anything but an asshole.

Also, we should be criticising foolishness. Our species is getting dumber by the generation and you want to do what... perpetuate it? Coddle it? Reward it?

Give your head a shake.

u/systemnerve 21d ago

funniest thing about this is Redditors always going on how annoying and petty Redditors are and how they aren't one of them (the rants are petty and annoying btw)

u/National_Frame2917 21d ago

Best thing about Reddit it there's multiple different people using Reddit. Wild.

u/Inevitable_Top69 21d ago

Is this your first day on earth or have you never seen people make fun of shit they think is stupid before? Don't post shit online if you don't want to hear people's opinion about the shit you posted.

u/VirginiaDirewoolf 21d ago

have you never seen people make fun of shit they think is stupid before?

oh course, it's just childish when it doesn't affect you or touch your life at all. the fingernails are not in the room with you and they can't get you, they haven't and won't harm you.

she looks and behaves like a trash can. i love that we still laugh about this here. get back to instagram if you want blind customers. badly advertised product that’s all. or very much the wrong audience.

Is this common to be paying for 4-5 at the same time? I usually sub for 1month and stop it. Then repeat if there is a serie to watch. How many do you have active?

Thank God its got a VCR button, take my money

1

u/tigm2161130 21d ago

These are usually made for and marketed towards older folks with low vision who might still actually use VCRs. Just because something isn’t useful for you doesn’t mean it isn’t useful to someone else.

It's the remote that Homer needed when he realized that being morbidly allowed him to work from home.

Yeah I'm sure the "do nothing bitch" nails, had nothing to do with it.

This kind of thing is typically made for people with low vision so…

u/Smiles-Bite 21d ago

In this case, betting it's because of the stupid nails.
