Revenge of the Remote (or how to screw with your husband’s head)

Well I got my own back last night.  You know how annoying it is when guys are constantly flicking the channels with the remote?  Well last night I had a plan.  The whole evening I sat on the other side of the loungeroom with a spare Foxtel remote control hidden under a cushion on my lap, and everytime Paul (my husband) clicked on “i” to see information on what was on other channels, I’d also click it on my remote so it would flicker on and off. Giggle.  Every time he turned the volume up I’d turn it up even higher at the same time.  Then he’d turn the volume down and I’d turn it down even lower. Giggle.  He’d change the channel and I’d change it back. Giggle.  And on and on it went all evening.  He lay there on his leather recliner mumbling under his breath about the stupid remote control and how we needed a new one.  ROFL!  I can’t believe he never caught on, actually I can’t believe I lasted as long as I did without bursting out laughing.  I couldn’t help myself though… I told him in the end – but I was good… I could have keep this up all week. LOL.

    Oh I’m pmsl too! We had a next door neighbor that we did something similar to. We both had foxtel and we’d hang over our side fence and aim the remote into his lounge room and change channels to 77 at random intervals. It drove him nuts!! We’d get phone calls from him asking us if OUR Foxtel was Ok, hehehe!
