Took me 4 hours to program a new garage door remote. What a joke.

I thought it would be a 5 minute job. Grab the remote, hit the learn button on the opener, sync it up, done. Nope. Had to dig out the manual from 2008, find some weird sequence of holding down the door lock and pressing the remote button 3 times within 10 seconds. Then the battery died on the remote. Then I realized the opener wasnt in learn mode because a light bulb was out. 4 hours. Has anyone else had a simple task turn into a whole afternoon?

the light bulb was out" - that's when you know the universe just hates you that day.

Honestly, I see it more like the universe giving you a tiny little win. Like, that bulb was probably flickering for weeks, and now you finally have a good excuse to change it. Tbh, a dead bulb is way better than something actually breaking.
