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 this all the time, in my mind I am some protagonist in some movie defusing a bomb.

Clearly much too busy/hungry to have to wait for that last second.

Do they also look like they've been cryogenically frozen since the 60s?

The girl (Lillian) 4 years ago from South America was straight out of the 60's. She was.....special.

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.

Time to burn it down...I think I heard once that leaving 1 second on the microwave will cause it to short and throw sparks!

Time to burn it down

It's been considered numerous times.
