I've got one everyone will agree on!

Get rid of that freakin panic button on the back of the remote!!!!

If I'm getting attacked in a parking lot . . . the last thing I'm looking for is that little red button on the back of my remote, that seems to get pressed at the worst possible times. (oh and another thing- if you do manage to hit that button, guess what . . . nobody's gonna look your way anyway, because we're all so used to hearing the sound when people hit the wrong button and set their alarms off for no reason)


Anyone one else on board with me on this one??????

I must make a confession . . . I just pressed it by accident, and it took me like 20 seconds to figure out that it was my own truck out in the driveway that was honking repeatedly. (thats what lead to this post-I needed to vent) honk, honk, honk, honk, woof- woof, honk honk honk honk honk honk (now all the neighbor dogs join in) woof woof woof woof woof, honk honk honk honk honk {my thought} Geeze, why dont they shut their damn alarm off?? Oops, its my truck!

Admit it . . . you've done the same thing

I like the panic button. It allows me to activate my train horns from a distance

Never had a problem accidentally pushing it, maybe you guys have too much things in your pockets.

ya know, I did this the other day at the post office... had my hands full of mail/boxes and such on my way to the truck and accidentally hit that damn button...

to make things worse, some smarta$$ comes up to me as I'm fiddling around with my keys and says "hey lady... your alarm is going off. you need to hit your panic button!" I was like "thanks Sherlock"....

oh, and you need to throw in some more woofs in there

Re: I've got one everyone will agree on!

I have never had a problem with it. The button is recessed and I find it hard enough to push even when I'm trying to.

Re: I've got one everyone will agree on!

LOOOL the panic button. Once when i was a kid we where in a hotel in Canada. I wanted to give the keys to the valet and i was like what does this red button do. So guess what i pressed it. Wow did i make a scene there. the thing is that i didnt know how to shut that thing up. So i kept pressing the lock/unlock buttons and then a nice guy came and helped me. Thank god my parents havent noticed i did that they where inside.

I use it to conveniently scare my wife and kids at opportune times.

another point exactly . . . now wait till your in the middle of getting mugged, "Excuse me mugger; can you hold on while I find the little azz red button thats recessed on my remote so I can push it and nobody will pay any attention to it anyway?"

I'm tellin ya . . . the only time I'm gonna find that little button is when I have 6 paper bags of grocery's in my hands (cuz I'm too lazy to make two trips out to the driveway), then of course right after I hit the button I drop the keys on the ground, honk honk honk honk honk honk honk honk woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof honk honk honk honk honk. son of a bi. . . .!!!!!!!!
