Grey Moment

[mallyh]

went to chemist to collect grandsons insulin ,I said I would ring him when near his house so he could come to door and I could leave it on wall for him, so no contact. went into pocket to get phone and i'd brought the fire remote control instead of phone lol x

Sometimes, when speaking to my friend over the phone, he may ask me to 'hang on a tick' while he makes a brew. Then, when he returns, he picks up his Firestick remote and attempts to carry on the conversation through that. He's done that a few times :-))

I think we have all done similar things Mallyh.

You're a bright spark.

Hi, Mally.... driving the thirty miles to visit MrG in hospital a loud screeching noise started from the passenger side footwell. Pulled into a layby...looked under the car for an accidentally run over pedestrian.. lifted the bonnet expecting to find next door's cat.
When I lifted my handbag from the floor to call the AA the screeching came with me........instead of my mobile I had put the landline handset in my bag and it was protesting..... :-)

[mallyh]

lol these answers are making me smile lol x

Don't worry... I have had several conversations on mobiles with family members, where either they or I are looking for their mobile...

[Robinia]

Yes I've looked for the mobile that I was talking on at the time...and I've taken the landline phone to the shops.

[Spicerack]

I was ironing my vest one day when the phone rang.

[marval]

Ouch Spicerack.

I once put a remote control in my bag, instead of my phone. Really apologised to the babysitter later...!

[gness]

Not quite the same but remotes can be fun. Our new freeview box had to be replaced. The company sent a new one and I kept the remote so we had two but MrG didn't know.
It was when Maggie Thatcher was on TV a lot and I detested the woman so I hid the spare remote under my cushion and when she appeared I secretly pressed the mute button.
It was a while before MrG realised that this box couldn't be faulty because the sound problem only happened when Thatcher appeared.
I kept this up for quite some time but he had a habit of pulling his hair when he was puzzled or frustrated and I didn't want a bald husband....but I did enjoy that mute button.... :-)

[Spicerack]

Don't worry, Marval. I made it up. ;-)

[NickorWan]

Has pixie got a remote control babysitter?

[pixie374]

I wish :-). I took the remote out with me, instead of my phone... leaving my babysitter at the time, stuck with the one channel.

[marval]

I thought you might have done Spicerack.
