Feeling like a "Fobbing Idiot"
Start rolling bike out of garage and security alarm goes off. Push it back into garage and close garage door so neighbors don't have to put up with it. Took several tries to get the disarming PIN entered correctly. Decided to change batteries in both fobs. Go to start bike and alarm goes off again. WTF!! Disarm it again after several tries. Supposedly, you have two seconds to simultaneously press both turn signals after turning switch to ignition...when if fact it seemed like a 1/2 second. Anyways, Looked at packaging for new batteries...dated 2012. Okay, drive up the street to get newer batteries...dated 2014. Open FOB's back up and instantly saw that I had put the 2012's in upside down.....not only one of them but both.
Reckon all this was a sign it wasn't going to be a good day to ride, as the weather has turned to a cold rain. Oh well...............

I .accidentally set mine off a couple times a month.First thing I do when I get home is get out of my work clothes with the 5 lbs worth of crap clipped to belt including the fob.Then if I go back to the garage in my shorts to do something with the bike alarm goes off.Finally I decided to just keep the spare in the garage.
So you not only didn't look at what you were doing once, but put both batteries in upside down?
And then drove to the store for more batteries before double checking what you just did?
I don't think I would have told that story.
Just sayin'

Some years ago, a man at an old country church felt deeply moved during the sermon so He jumped up and said "I have a confession, I gots to confess! I used to gamble, and blew lots of money - but no mo! I gots to do right!" Everybody goes "Halleluiah!"
Then the man screams out "Wait - there's more! I used to run around on my wife with some loose women - But no mo! I have seen the light, and I do declare I will straighten up!" Everybody goes "Tell it! Halleluiah!"
Then the man stands up again and says "I once had sex with a goat!"
A hush came over the crowd.
Preacher walked up to the man, leaned in, and softly said to Him "I don't think I would have told that one, son..."
