41 of 365TTSM - crazy volume control button on cheap radio




This is my renovation radio. It's a pretty good radio. It was the cheapest one I could find that would provide me with music and cricket scores while hopefully surviving sanding dust and paint spills during my month of renovation adventures. However, it has a button instead of a dial for volume control, which is the first thing that shits me a little bit. But the thing that shits me the most is that it turns its own volume back up whenever I turn it down. It doesn't do it in a sudden and obvious way, just sneaks it back up so that the volume pretty much stays at one constant volume all the time. As a result, I need to control volume by moving the radio or myself. If it is too loud, I move it a couple of rooms away. If a song comes on that I really like, I move closer to the radio and shake my booty until it's over, thereby losing valuable renovating time.
