Today I picked up the TV remote with the intent of handing it off as I was going into the other room, but carried it with me instead...

I feel ya. I do this all the time. I did the same thing Saturday with my drill press. It was a 3/4" forstner bit, and let it drop from the chuck into my hand, so it wasn't like I pinched it and could let go. And it was like a $20 bit, so I didn't want to just drop it. It was like a hot potato. but stabby.I drilled a hole in the ceiling to install a hook.
I grabbed the drill bit and burned the palm of my hand.
Pretty stupid move.
Look at the bright side - at least you didn't touch facebook's BGP config :derp:I drilled a hole in the ceiling to install a hook.

I had a related but different conundrum several years ago when getting TV headphones for my dad [now replaced with proper hearing aids]. When plugging the wireless transmitter base into the TV headphone jack the TV speakers would turn off, which meant mom couldn't hear anything. Luckily the TV had a second 3.5mm TRS jack for parallel audio outToday I was at an electronics store with my mother to buy her wireless headphones. I gave her a giftcard at christmas since I didn't want to buy her headphones without her trying them first. Beforehand I checked the TV outpouts and found only a 2.5 mm jack. Then I looked at the specifications of the TV to find out if it had Bluetooth, but it didn't state that it had so we bought wireless headphones which connect via 2.5 mm jack to the TV. After I connected the headphones the speakers still played unless you hit the mute button, but then a mute symbol was on the TV the whole time. This is when I went into the TV's menu just to discover you can activate Bluetooth afterall...
That reminds me of the B&O TV sets I used to dream of back in the late 90s. You could “stream” content from your main video and audio systems on smaller TVs and speakers and that included (AFAIK) the option to use just the speakers of a TV set.My TV has bluetooth. But only as in input. It's to use the TV as basically a bluetooth speaker.

Speaking (broadly) of India: years ago, I had been sent to Bangalore for a delivery. On the way home, I took an Uber from the hotel to the airport and the driver didn’t speak English. So he simply asked “Kannada?” to find out if I understood the local language. My reply: “No, I’m going to Germany!”Papadam
Your brain just wanted the Christmas unwrapping experience to come early and made it happen.I had just taped up the final Christmas parcel of the year and put it in a bag to take it to the nearby DHL place. The only thing missing was the other, smaller parcel I had finished moments earlier.
A few minutes of frantic searching (I did have the estimated pickup time as a vague deadline) later, I came to the conclusion that the one place where I might have put a small cardboard box was almost certainly with the other, albeit prettier, small cardboard boxes… i.e. into the aforementioned Final Parcel of the Year. And so it turned out to be.
Is this what being gaslit feels like?
