Cynthetiq, The hearing aid reminds me, I found a remote control that looked very similar to our stereo remote but it didn't work so I sit it up on the tv stand as a decoy, so my dad is watching TV with his satellite remote while I have the stereo remote, every 20 seconds I'd turn down the volume 1 notch, he turned the satelittle volume up every minute or two until he reached max while I was still turning down the master volume. He looks over and say,"ARE YOU TURNING DOWN THE VOLUME!?" Then I point out that the remote is sitting beside the tv so he gets up to get the decoy remote but it doesnt work. the next day he buys some batteries and before he puts them in the decoy I switch it with the real one, and it magically works. 10 minutes later he leaves the room and I switch them again and when he comes back I start turning down the volume again... I switched 15-20 times over 2-3 days before it started to really piss him off.
