He can't control you, he can't control the world, but he is master where the remote is concerned.

Well, from my point, it's a guy thing. You'll probably never figure it out and I'll try to explain. I think it's one the few aspects in life the we (men) still have full control over, it's nothing major but that's the way it is. My wife hate's it too, and I've learned to compromise in dealing with the controlling of the remote. Another branch of this, for me anyway, I like amounts of remotes (3 in bedroom and living room, and 2 in spare room). Hope this helps.

It is indeed actually a trait embedded in the Y chromosome, right across the "never stop to ask for directions" gene and next to the "no TV screen is too big" gene.
My advice is to secretly purchase your own remote.

It takes a mans mind off his wife talking all the time during the programme

Mine is the same way. He actually falls asleep with it in his hand, sometimes!

it is an extension of his **** and a symbol of power- much like the scepters that royals carry
