Confused again

I like her to carry her phone. She was out but not very far away so I decided to take her phone to her.  But when I went back to the car, it wouldn't start.  Durn it!  It is cold and dark at that hour, not a good time to need service.  The screen said to hold the remote close to the start button.  Remote?  To me, a remote changes the channel on the living room tv.  I couldn't find the manual in the glove compartment.  Stop and think.  I stopped and thought.  Nothing much came to mind.  The manual might be in there somewhere.  I looked again, more critically and carefully.  I found it.  I looked up "starting".  There were pictures of what I call a "fob".  So that's what they mean: the fob.  I held it right on the dumb start button.  Nothing.  Tried twice more.  Nothing.  Double durn it!!

Guess what?  I was in the wrong car.  Got in mine. No trouble.
