    Yeh those sliding type battery covers, I find those pretty irresistible myself. Knew it was a bad idea and likely breaking the remote before its time when I had those but sometimes it was almost unconscious and I’d just find myself removing the cover and sliding it back on without even realising. The ADHD is strong I guess. I haven’t had a TV whose remote had that style of battery cover for a long time luckily. The current one just isn’t even remotely :) satisfying to remove the cover and put it back on again so it’s safe from me.

      Then the cover slides off all the time. Then you end up having to tape it shut and get a messy sticky remote with tape residue. Or the cover falls off and gets lost

        I had to put one of those rubber condoms over my remote because I did that, and because I didn’t stop after it broke.

      Many years ago, I did that. On the TV remote, the blu ray player remote, the sound system remote, the bedroom TV remote, the guest room TV remotes.

      Looking back, I get why my parents where annoyed. Maybe they should have brought me to someone that could’ve diagnosed my add.

      Now, I live in a household devoid of remotes.

      I like poker chips, I learned the trick where you pull one out from a stack, spin it, and put it back in. I forget I’m doing it, I’ll just reach in my pocket and will start doing the trick over and over

      And instead of getting annoyed, people started giving me random poker chips one or two at a time. Which I find weird, because it’s not a particularly quiet figet. But now I just have sets of three mismatched poker chips everywhere

    Joke’s on you! My remote has a pin that needs to be pushed in like the SIM tray on cellphones, there’s no opening it without something to push that in every time!
