Answer 3

LMAO I do that - and I walk up to the tv still pressing it when I can just press the button on the actual tv!! duhhh xx

Answer 4

good question.  its either the battery or you think your buttons are being warn down so you press harder hopping it will work.

Answer 5

Thats very true, i always do that, and usually theres not a spare battery in the house, xx

Answer 6

its natural instinct to hit something when it doesnt work, and press a button harder when it didnt respond....though sometiems it works [ cuz the connection changed over time and when you pressed it harder you corrected the connection and finished the action you wanted ]

Answer 7

Because it still works.

Squeeze the last drop of life out of the battery. I always take them out, rub them and put them in the opposite way and it seems to work- try it.

Answer 9

because you don't want to get up and do it manually

Answer 10
