Why u press harder on remote control when u know da battery is dead?????

I put it to disbelief and laziness to be honest. あなた can't believe that batteries will go flat/dead in such a short 宇宙 of time.
And batteries 'go dead' as the chemicals inside to make them work are used up. Like when we die, our 'spirit' is used up, and all the ジュース that keeps us alive runs out. So in a way batteries are alive, just not in the sense we know of it.

Natural instinct, I guess xD
または natural habit...
