My partner wore out the clips on the cover by doing that all the time
Then the cover slides off all the time. Then you end up having to tape it shut and get a messy sticky remote with tape residue. Or the cover falls off and gets lost
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
I had to put one of those rubber condoms over my remote because I did that, and because I didn’t stop after it broke.
All remotes get taped shut eventually because of broken clips. No more fidgeting.
I just have the batteries taped in because I lost the cover :(
Got my remote taped because every time it falls the cover flies off with the batteries.
Many years ago, I did that. On the TV remote, the blu ray player remote, the sound system remote, the bedroom TV remote, the guest room TV remotes.
Looking back, I get why my parents where annoyed. Maybe they should have brought me to someone that could’ve diagnosed my add.
Now, I live in a household devoid of remotes.

How dare you.
I’m glad I found your comment! This thread had me questioning my sanity - I have never, in my 50+ years on this Earth, encountered this phenomenon!
Yep… because unmedicated ADD.
You don’t need ADD to like the clickety sound and feeling.
But it helps!
… but…but… it feeeela so good to do it.
That’s how I broke my remotes battery cover :)
so fidget spinner should have been fidget slider clicker
My son did this to a TV remote to the point the back wouldn’t stay on. After a year or so I bought another one. Every now and then he will do this but I think he learned his lesson.
I like to pretend my remote is a spaceship. The battery cover is the gangplank thingy; obviously I have to open it when the remote lands.
I forgot remotes come with a plastic cover and don’t just have two batteries held in by duct tape.
I have so many fidgets and always go back to pens and household items
I like poker chips, I learned the trick where you pull one out from a stack, spin it, and put it back in. I forget I’m doing it, I’ll just reach in my pocket and will start doing the trick over and over
And instead of getting annoyed, people started giving me random poker chips one or two at a time. Which I find weird, because it’s not a particularly quiet figet. But now I just have sets of three mismatched poker chips everywhere
My latest TV has usb-c and solar to recharge the batteries.
And then I press the mute button on the side on accident and everyone really gets mad at me
