My partner wore out the clips on the cover by doing that all the time

Then the cover slides off all the time. Then you end up having to tape it shut and get a messy sticky remote with tape residue. Or the cover falls off and gets lost

I had to put one of those rubber condoms over my remote because I did that, and because I didn’t stop after it broke.

All remotes get taped shut eventually because of broken clips. No more fidgeting.

I just have the batteries taped in because I lost the cover :(

Got my remote taped because every time it falls the cover flies off with the batteries.

Many years ago, I did that. On the TV remote, the blu ray player remote, the sound system remote, the bedroom TV remote, the guest room TV remotes.

Looking back, I get why my parents where annoyed. Maybe they should have brought me to someone that could've diagnosed my add.

Now, I live in a household devoid of remotes.
