#%*&! technology

I'm sitting there, trying to use our universal remote to turn the volume up on the TV, and managing to do everything but. My wife is greatly amused, and I finally hand her the remote and tell her to deal with it. She does, with about four seemingly random button presses (and a dozen silent spells I'm sure).

She smiles and says, "it's not rocket science."

"Exactly, which is why I can't figure it out!"

I get up and leave the room. TV. Who needs it?
