How come you press harder on a remote-control when you know the battery is dead?

Answer 1

lol I love your questions Kain... you make my day so much better....

I don't know why we do that. I was actually doing that last night. Apparently we think pressing the button harder is supposed to squeeze that last bit of juice out of the battery....

It's kind of like when you're playing a racing game on the computer or PS2, you press the button that makes your car accelerate really hard because you think it's gonna make your car go faster.... Broken quite a few buttons doing that... i hate it when that happens....

Answer 2

Good question....actually I was doing this last night. I was too lazy to get out of bed so I just kept pressing the button harder and hitting the remote hoping maybe it would work. Didn't work though. Maybe we just don't want to get up so we will try anything to not have to get up.......like hoping the pushing the button harder will work.

Answer 3

Because people are lazy to replace the battery with another and they're very furious when it comes to the death of their remote control. They go berserk.

Answer 4

Becuase sometimes it works. Other times, you have to fiddle with the batteries a little, and sometimes, you have to accept the bataries really are dead, and need to be changed.

And that's what happens when you have a crappy remote.

Answer 5
