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.
-
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

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 :(
-
-
-
I feel so seen
-
I forgot remotes come with a plastic cover and don't just have two batteries held in by duct tape.
-
so fidget spinner should have been fidget slider clicker
-
I feel called out
-
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

That's how I broke my remotes battery cover :)
-
Yeh those sliding type battery covers, I find those pretty irresistible myself. Knew it was a bad idea and likely breaking the remote before its time when I had those but sometimes it was almost unconscious and I'd just find myself removing the cover and sliding it back on without even realising. The ADHD is strong I guess. I haven't had a TV whose remote had that style of battery cover for a long time luckily. The current one just isn't even remotely :) satisfying to remove the cover and put it back on again so it's safe from me.

Fidget spinners before fidget spinners were invented
-
And then I press the mute button on the side on accident and everyone really gets mad at me
-
My latest TV has usb-c and solar to recharge the batteries.
