My personal problem is I will go out and just do one big lump of battery shopping, AA, AAA, B, C, D, hell, if I have to I'll get a car battery too, and I'll put them all in one cabinet drawer in my kitchen, so that I"ll always know where they are...but my family is just as "special" as I am, meaning that when they need some batteries, even if the damn thing is already opened, they'll take the ENTIRE package and carry it off to where batteries are needed. They won't just, take the batteries that they need and leave the package there, they will plop the entire thing of like, 20 batteries somewhere betwixt and between and if they need it again later they'll be all pissy at me for losing the batteries until they find them in their own room.
The worst part? They will put their spent batteries in the drawer. It's like they were replacing the ones they took. Here Pyros, we're taking all your batteries, and in recompense here are some dead batteries for you to discover are dead when you really need them, and wonder where we've taken your precious package of 20 odd something AA's.
The only explanation I have gotten so far for any of this behavior is they thought if they left them in the drawer, someone else would lose it. BLARGH!
On Rechargeables, my wiimote was rechargable but the batteries died hardcore because my brother doesn't play video games much anymore yet insists on keeping the wiimote next to his bed, where it is not on the charger. Now the wiimote is in my drawer away from home, next to the AA batteries, that only disappear because I forget they're in the drawer.
