I feel like the batteries in the TV remote you forget about until they stop working. You stare at it for a moment befuddled, betrayed by its silent protest, and then continue to press buttons. It uses what feeble power it has left to acquiesce. You go back to forgetting about it again. Until the next time you need it.

Ironic you post about this, as I just commented to my husband, AGAIN that our remote is bugging me again because it's not working well and needs new batteries. Did I change them? No. I will go on being bugged.
