Remoteitis

A disease that afflicts children and spouses who grab the remote control of a TV set and keep changing channels at incredible speed. Symptoms are completely at variance with rheumatism or arthritis and worsen in the evening and can only be treated by permanently disabling the remote control.

Jack's wife and son have remoteitis which prevents him from seeing any channel properly on TV almost every evening.
