sounds like they’re unfamiliar with electronic recycling stations

If she doesn’t know where a cable goes, is it because because she’s stupid or because they no longer have the device it goes to? Some cables will go to more than one device, because some cables are standardized.

yep!! wehave quite a collecetion !!

Roscoe seems awfully interested in the remotes for some reason.

I somehow lost or misplaced the remote that goes to the TV in my computer room. But I don’t watch much TV while on the computer anyway. Also, I do have a universal remote which I could use. Then the missing one would probably show up.

You will need each of them the day after the garbage man comes. Guaranteed.

It’s impossible to figure out what goes with what—-until you throw it away!

Earl that make these things called “Labels” they work well with a marking pen ;-)

I like to put old remotes in other peoples’ carts at the grocery store…

What a tangled mess….I just threw out a handful of remotes from TVS I don’t have anymore. Maybe it’s was better to have to get up and change the channels? Yes? No?

wearing a sweater in the middle of summer? Hope one of those remotes wasn’t one for the AC!

I have old ones laying around for “parts”!

If they’ve been in that closet for a few years, time to get rid of them all. I did that with the old TV/VCR manuals yesterday. The fact that they’re written instead of online clued me.

My parallel printer cable goes well with my VGA cable.

it makes sense to rid themselves of this stuff ( but not in a landfill) but old folks tend to hang onto useless stuff just in case

When I get a new device I do two things: 1. label it and 2. put any cords or cables I don’t need into my "extra cables’ box. When it gets full, take it to the big electronics store and put it all into their recycling bin.

The definition of “junk”: stuff you discard 2 weeks before you need it.

An old farts best friend re: electronics is a label maker…. label as soon as it comes out of the box.

The wut!

those cables and remotes should be recycled. I take mine to Best Buy or Target

Ironic – I just cleaned out our remote drawer!

You’ll be sorry!

Earl and Opal have been in my basement!

Recycle if you can but get rid of them!

I have 2 computer geek friends who collect all sorts of computer parts & old phones. If I need to get rid of something like that, I just pass it on to one of them. That way, if I ever find I still needed something, I know who has it & I can get it back!

I LOVE this comic!! I cut them out of the paper and send them to my mom. She lives in Florida. She laughs so hard. She shows them to her friends down there!!

I wish I could get my parents to throw out old cables and remotes!

Earl and Opal reach consensus! Alert the media!

Been there and need to do this too. So many remotes!

Next week, where is the remote for the microwave and toaster???

Also they could benefit others. In fact maybe they should have shown those to find out what they go to instead of mindlessly dumping them en mass.

When I’m sorting donations, I toss all of the “single type” remotes that aren’t together with their primary device. We resell the ones that can be adjusted to more than one device.

Reprogram the remote’s chips to do something useful like buttering your sandwich.
