Has anyone ever tried to?

answer the telephone with the TV remote? I just did and felt so foolish even though there was no one else here to see it. I'm wondering if that might be an indication of some old-timer's disease. Must be careful to keep this from my children or they might begin planning my special Sunday Afternoon Drive.

I do things like that all the time. Thank goodness you weren't ironing!

No, you were probably not just thinking. Or getting a little clumsy and uncoordinated...like my dad.

haha. i won't tell.

hahahahahahaha, I did that once, felt so foolish.....

LOL....no, I've not done that yet but I have a feeling my day is coming soon! LOL

haha yes I have.

I have done that. My sister lives on a ranch and drives a little golf-cart back and forth to the barn. We were all going somewhere....she's running late and finally got ready and instead of getting in her car she got into the golf cart!!! Did she ever get embarrassed!!

Ihave done worse believe me ,in fact what I did was going to be my next question lol.

Yes, I've done that. We also had a device while I was working which looked a lot like another one & I caught myself doing that, too.

No, but I have tried to change the channel on the TV with the telephone.

I certainly hope it isn't an old-timer's disease, because I won't be 40 for a few more months!

And don't worry, my mom, who is 76, does things like that all the time. She and I laugh like loons because she does goofy things, and because I am starting to do the same things she did when she was my age, like lose her reading glasses and search the house frantically while the glasses are parked on top of her head.

Most of all, don't worry about your kids. I promise not to tell them ;)

Is that as bad as looking for your glasses when you have them on your head, or looking for your cell phone by calling it with your other cell phone because you have no idea where it is and turns out it is in your back pocket. LOL been there.

i do that all the time okay ive only done it twice but still its a common mistake i once took a piece of french toast and dipped it in my orange juice instead of the syrup like i intended but that was pobobally just because i was reall really tired

You're find. Wait until you get in the car and drive to the mall and when you get there you wonder why you came there.^_^

That, and worse...
My last job was a high stress job, a million things happening at the same time.... my co-worker was so worked up one day, that when she picked up the phone to make a call, she punched the numbers into the calculator, getting furious at the phone , since she couldn't get a connection....

i left the house in a hurry once and took the TV remote thinking that it was my cell phone and when i went ti use my cell i noticed that it was the remote for the TV.i did feel kinda dumb for a mins

don't worry about it. Put my cell phone in the fridge one time. Couldn't figure out why the boys hadn't called. Just got in a hurry. It's OK. I think you need a hug. ummmmmmmmmm
lots of love to you

Thats a lot safer than answering the phone whilst ironing!

No, not yet. What happened to you was just an "accident". It was some kind of a reflex, grabbing the first thing that was near you or, maybe you were already holding the remote and without thinking, placed it on your ear thinking it was the telephone. Were you watching the telly at that time? Oh well, it's not Alzheimer's for certain.

Haven't done that, but every time I watch Law and Order and there's a scene in the precinct, I think my phone is ringing.

That Sunday drive of yours sounds ominous!

sorry to say I have not done that before......but have done other crazy things without realizing it.......I put sugar on food thinking I had the salt.........

I won't tell if you don't.........

I've done that too. Also, when I was working I had an adding machine as well as a telephone on my desk and I can't tell you how many times that I would try dialing the telephone which
turned out to be the adding machine. I could only laugh at myself.

haven't done that yet, but hope that I am alone too when it happens..... or might kids might plan that Sunday afternoon drive too!

yes....and i try to change the channelwiht the tlephone.

i have lol

I tried to answer the office phone with the stapler

Nope, but I've sat at a four way stop sign waiting for it to turn green and tried to use my drivers licence in the debit card machine, and got mad when it didn't work.

No, but I tried to change the channels with the phone! That doesn't work either, lol!

My daughter says she has a room in the attic for me! That came from someone in our town who actually did lock his old mother in the attic for years, never let her out except to go to the bathroom, until someone found out about it, then it became front page news!

I once sat down to eat a bowl of cold cereal. Then poured milk into the sugar bowl - oops, wrong bowl. But wait a minute, I was only fifteen years old at the time. My Dad couldn't figure out what the 'H E double-ell' I was doing, and neither could I.

If you mean, you answered the remote, thinking it was the phone, you could be excused for that, because phones are made in all shapes and sizes.

If you mean, your phone rang and you answered your remote, then you are in the correct forum!

You shouldn't be concerned about feeling foolish,though, until you get the notion that the remote would be a good way to call the kids!

I am exceptional at misplacing things.

I have Lost my ATM card 6 times because I forget to wait!

I purposefully, place things, so that I won't forget where they are, and then forget, that place!

Go Figure!

Not yet.But I have called my own phone number and gotten mad because the line was busy.Just call it mental pause and leave it at that.
