Ha! I can top that...I think.
I have a huge home theater system, which is my pride and joy. My mom however cannot use a remote to save her life.
"I just want to watch TV, is this the right one? I put a DVD in the player and I can hear it, but I cant see it on the TV. Oh darn, I just turned the TV off, but I can still hear it. Where the DVD button!?"
Every. Damn. Day.
So, I went and got a really nice Logitech Harmony universal remote. The one that looks like an iPad, with pictures and everything. Totally idiot proof.
I programmed all the macros for her. One to watch TV, one to watch the DVD, one for the VCR...ect. It sits on its little stand, and all she has to do for ANYTHING is push the icon for what she want. Even to select if she wants the surround on or not. Simple. Right?
Nope. She still manages to screw it up. Every. Damn. Time!
