Managed to make mum storm out in a huff just now, oops.
Me: "Could we maybe try a lower volume?"
Mum: Grudgingly picks up remote & fiddles with button.
Me: Watching the small number on the screen that she presumably can't see - "Erm, that's actually gone up..."
Mum: "Pardon?"
Me: Louder - "The volume actually went up. The number got bigger."
Mum: Packs up and ships out
Me: *sigh*
So, I went and apologised, and now I'm putting up with it. Apparently it's terrible for me to come and 'boss her about' in her own home - despite my offering every 5 mins to do something useful. Blah.
