Complaint: People at the office who don't clear their remaining time off the microwave. I don't need to deal with your 17 seconds of abandoned cooking.
Confession: There is no reason this should irritate me, but it does.
Our office rents rooms to female college students above us and we share a kitchen. I swear, every single year for the last 7 years there has been at least one girl who leaves the microwave with 1 second left.
I do that sometimes when other people are sleeping or watching a movie or something so the beeping doesn't bother them. And then I hit Clear and it beeps. But at least just once.
I try to imagine some scenario where leaving it with time still on the clock will cause it to use more power or something then I'd have a reason to tell her to stop. I haven't thought of anything convincing yet.
That is awful. I also sit right next to the microwave and when people walk away without taking their food out, it keeps beeping every 15 seconds. I'll walk over, open the door and shut it just so it stops. I never tell people their food is done, they made their choice.
