Someone called the police because we were walking through backyards. All of a sudden we saw spotlights shinning in between houses as the squad car was driving through the neighborhood. We started running and I ran into a chain link fence I couldn't see in the dark. I flipped head over heels and landed in someone's backyard. They had their patio door open and I could see the TV. I just lay there for a while and watched "Happy Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bbach Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 We had a similar weird problem here. Our ceiling fan would suddenly come on. I tried to explain to my wife that our house was built over an old graveyard but she was just not convinced. Turns out our neighbors bought the same ceiling fan type and our fans were reacting to each others controllers. What I don't understand is why were they turing on their ceiling fan in the middle of the night? They must have a much "hotter" bedroom than I have.

Moderators Lee Knight Posted October 27, 2008 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2008 I got a job at a TV/Stereo place many moons ago putting myself through college. As the new guy, it was my great responsibility to turn on all the TVs. Rows and rows of TVs. Unbeknownst to nubee Knight, a co-worker and seasoned vet (turned out to be an asshole as well) followed me around but out out my sight with a universal remote turning them off as I'd turn them on. He'd wait just long enough for me to step 10 feet away then... click. I'd run back thinking there must be some timer turning them off. Duh. I finally turned around and there he was with a big grin on his face with 5 other retail electronic goons yucking it up. Of course, it was pretty funny once I was one of those goons laughing at the new-er guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ultravibe Posted October 27, 2008 Members Share Posted October 27, 2008 I remember doing that with a friend's garage door opener back in the 70s - going around the neighborhood and opening and closing garage doors. I'm sure some of the owners thought they'd bought defective merchandise. Me and next door neighbour just pissed our pants,... When you reach the age of 80, that will be nothing to post to a message board about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
