If it's been a few weeks since the last time you rewound a VHS tape, you might want to refresh yourself on the steps just to make sure you complete the process correctly:

• Identify the cassette you wish to rewind. You will know that the tape needs to be rewound if you attempt to watch it and find that the bad guy has been defeated and everyone is getting married.
  

• Place the cassette in your VHS-rewinding device. It should be shaped like a car. If it is not shaped like a car, it is most likely not a VHS rewinder but a countertop bagel toaster. If this is the case, place your tape back in the VCR.
  

• Push the button labeled "rewind." In lieu of human words, the button may be marked with the universal symbol for rewind: two left-facing triangles that resemble a fish swimming away from you. Don't be daunted by the fact that every fish you’ve loved has left you—it’s just a symbol!
  

• When the tape is fully rewound, seal it in a padded envelope so that this never happens again.
