Question: I seem to be the only one in my house capable of putting the remote in the same spot. 

How can I solve the "I can't find the remote problem"?

Answer: 
Attach a [keyring finder](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=keyring%20finder&client=safari&rls=en&biw=2551&bih=1280&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0CIcCEPwFKAFqFQoTCPrcgdvx6cgCFYVbGgodOwgPhg) to it.

In general, avoid the whistle-activated ones, I find they're too sensitive and go off randomly.

I'd probably go for one that **doesn't use a remote**, otherwise you're going to end up with a recursive problem.

My favourite would probably be one activated by smart phone. Activated by button rather than by sound, and you can always ring your phone if you've misplaced that!

Depends how aesthetically pleasing and how technical you are. 

**Least effort** - duct tape, and plenty of it!

**Most effort** - might involve removing the key parts of the finder and hiding them in the battery compartment. 

Some middle ground might double sided tape or similar.
Your main problem seems to be that you're the only one with a bit of discipline, and you're the only one who wants to put it in a given place. In other words, the issue is much more than just having a good place to put your remote control.

You either need to train other members of your household to return it/place it somewhere, or you need to work around the problem and be able to relocate it when they've misplaced it.

In my experience both cases are hard, as it is not easy to train/force those who don't want to be trained. Best option related to training is to invent/enforce a system which they'll see as a benefit without any extra work for them. It could work to have a given place, which is close to the favourite position for using the remote control.

On the other hand, finding it when it is misplaced requires some sort of locating device, such as key ring finders, or attaching strings or other large objects (makes it impractical to move it :-) ).

Overall, I would say that your best option is either to talk to your household members and see about finding a really good place to put it, and/or for you to consider if you can control the equipment by other means so you don't have to find it when the others have misplaced it. The latter one can be achieved by *having an extra universal remote control* for your use, or *having a remote control app* on your smartphone, if that is possible with your equipment.
