My mother has been embroiled in a fight with her television, such that she does not understand that her remote needs new batteries even after the EIGHTY FIVE TIMES I have told her. Part of her problem is that she keeps insisting that it needs special NiCads, the ones with the wire and the shrink wrap, even after I've shown her over and over that she just needs AAs.
This is because she was looking at her cordless phone, not her remote.
