Sure, you may know where your TV remote control is while watching the latest sports game, binge watching Games of Thrones, or your other favorite programs. Yet, things are entirely different when you walk into the room, sit down, and reach for the remote only to discover it is missing.
While your initial reaction might be to put an amber alert out for the missing remote, chances are it never left your home. Before you panic, consider what you were last doing. Did you get up to get a snack and something to drink? Open the fridge and see if you accidentally set it in there. Even though this might sound funny, people have done it.
Your next step is to check the room where you last remember seeing the remote.
- Look under sofa cushions.
- Feel down the sides of furniture.
- Get down and look underneath furniture.
- Check around the TV and your home entertainment center, especially if you have roommates or house guests. They may have placed it here instead of leaving in your favorite spot.
- In the bedroom, look under pillows, pull back sheets, and check in between mattresses, as well as under the bed and furniture.
- If you have children in the home, ask them if they have seen it. They may have carried it off because they were hiding it from a sibling or using it as a toy.
