What is the awesomest thing in the world?
Discovering that your TV remote control sets off your smoke alarm.
It is the gift of awesome that just keeps giving.

I’m a bigger fan of realizing that your remote control sets off your vibrator.
One you didn’t know could be set off by remote control.
It really is a universal remote.

Yay for personal posts! But at least it’s not a remote that sets of instant FIRE. I definitely just thought of Sims 2. Remote Control. FIRE DANCE!

Every time you use it it sets off the smoke alarm?! That could get maddening real quick. But randomness would be harder to suss out…..
And my mind just boggles at a remote controlled vibrator.

No, just every time I use it and it’s pointed at the smoke detector, or pointed at something that reflects at the smoke detector. Which makes for wacky shenanigans and hijinks in a small apartment. Also lots of beeping. Our neighbors must think we are robots that are programmed to screech klaxons, crash into things, and acquire as much knowledge of humans as possible via osmosis with the Starz network.

Anytime I use my microwave it kicks people off our landline phone. Odd, right? This makes me laugh, appliances can be troublesome.

Meghan, not a remote, but instant fire is an an unintended feature on this guy’s cell phone:

Harriet, that remote sounds handy for clearing out party guests who stay way too long, no one would even suspect…

My microwave used to interfere so much with my cordless phone that I couldn’t continue the call. That was when the phone’s base station was atop the microwave. Also, the phone was a 2.4 GHz type, which is very close to the radio band microwaves use. I replaced the phone with a 5.8 GHz model – no more problem.
