My Macro Shame
Remote Control Horror!
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. When my son was home recently he used my laptop and created a massive fuss about how "disgusting" my keyboard is. Hilarious, when you see the state he leaves his room in.
My laptop is a little grubby to be sure and the keys are worn but nothing that I'm ashamed to be seen in public with.
However, I cannot say the same for the remote control. At first sight it looks a bit dusty and, if I'm honest, maybe a bit sticky, but when I decided to take a macro shot of it this afternoon I discovered that it truly is disgusting.
Oh the shame, the shame! 😂
In my defence it is very, very old.
That's not really a defence though is it?
Oh, hang on, I know . . .
In my defence . . ., the grandchildren have been playing with it! 😂
This is one occasion when you may not want to click on the image to view it full screen!
Thank you to @juliank and @photocontests for this daily photography contest.
I read your post out to my son and he thought I had written it. I could have (replacing grandchildren with one 19 year old son)! But then he scrolled down to the picture and was much relieved: clearly not our remote. Yours is not strapped together with duct tape and a lot cleaner besides. I think we've gone through 5 remotes for one tv. At one stage our hi-fi man thought the dog had been chewing at it (we don't own a dog).
Good to hear I'm not the only one @sukhasanasister. That's a relief! 😂
You let your grandchildren play with that? 😱
I also fed my son pot noodles when he was little. But don't tell anyone. My sister in law was horrified when I told her! 😂
I should think so! 😳
😂
I'm pretty sure that's why macro photography was invented, so you could actually see all of the stuff that has collected on your remotes. I think it works for locating dust mites and sloughed off skin, too. :)
Exactly @glenalbrethsen. Someone who finally understands the significance of macros. Had I taken a life-size photograph no-one would have been any-the-wiser! 😁
It's not that bad. No sign of curry or bolognese sauce.
Are there actually people who clean their remotes, I wonder?
Good question @ocrdu! It looks a lot worse than normal because of the magnification!😁
I can't even imagine the number of germs that live on your remote control 🤔
Really @irreverent-dan? That was your first thought? Germs!!! 😂
your post is very good
The buttons seems like melting away slowly... lol
Hahahaha
