Boredom


My neighbor spent the better part of the night awake and literally howling and barking at the moon. So, I woke up really early this morning and turned on Hansen's M'Bop to 11 and flipped the speakers around to face his wall.

That song has been on rotation now for about half an hour and I can't tell if he hates it or loves it... he's banging on the wall but in tempo with the song.

All of that just reminded me of what would happen when i was caught up with all of my work for the day and bored out of my mind. I discovered my phone came with a default app that was to be used to replace the remote control for your television. I am not a fan of Fox News, so i discovered that I could change the channel on the television with this app. The television that I would watch was directly outside of my shop and above the center of couches for exhausted shoppers.

I discovered that when i switched the channel, sooner or later one of the security guards would come by to change the channel back to the original channel. Originally, I would wait till he went back down the escalators and would switch it back to what I preferred.

THEN.

One day I was bored, and i was not in the mood to wait for the security guard to walk away.. I was watching a movie and it was at the good part. I switched it back and the security guard stopped in his tracks and looked at the tv.. he switched it back.. and I immediately changed the channel again. At this point, I no longer cared about the movie and was now focused on the security guard that was stunned and standing there in awe. I watched him look at the tv and then down to the remote in his hand. He walked away confused, but he walked away..

I was on to something.

Every Sunday during football season, men would gather in the area below the television to watch the big game while their wives shopped without the interruption of having someone breathing heavy behind them impatiently. I would wait for the crescendo of cheers start to swell and then I would turn off the TV.... just to listen to the chorus of disappointed AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWs. Then turn it back on as they all scrambled for the next TV downstairs in the food court. As soon as they would all settle in again, I would switch it off again.

Other times, I would catch the security guard standing in front of the TV watching the game. I would switch the channel just to watch him snap to attention as if he were working the whole time.

Yeah, I sorta do that too with a free app from the Google Play store that runs on Android phones called "Sure Universal Remote".

I don't actually change channels or switch shows off. Instead, I reduce the volume when the noise is interfering with my conversation or just intruding on my space.

So far I've done that in airport-lounges, bars (only a few) and restaurants (many). Pretty clever app. Works on every type of tv I've ever tried it on.

Oh lord..... I knew the technology was there but the last time I tried you had to have all kind of manufacturers codes to enter into the app... Now it seems like it muuuuuch easier!

Oh yeah, there's gonna be some fun to be had on the next girlcation between phone remotes and googly eyes. Keep your ears tuned to College Station news in May...
