My stupid arse new one has a child lock where you can’t just open it in the middle of it cooking. You have to hit some dumbass button first. I had to find the secret button combo to turn that shite off.

I just hit the six twice in ours. 666 if I’m wanting to burn something to hell.

My microwave has a knob/dial that increases time when turned clockwise and decreases time when turned counterclockwise. I don’t mess with input of actual numbers.

Want.

All the numbers on my microwave are instant buttons for that many minutes and I have the Add 30 Seconds button.

I don't need a single other button on there.

I once put instant coffee in the microwave and almost went back in time.

a guy at work reheated his coffee in a styrofoam cup for 20 seconds, except he hit 20:00 by mistake and walked away. After about 4 minutes, the microwave was full of boiling brown foam. Had to throw the oven out.

One extra rep of finger exercise never hurt anyone.

Am I the only one who uses random numbers when using the microwave?

I can’t do 1:00 or 1:30.. it’s always 1:03 or 1:27

Anyone here old enough to remember when Microwaves had an egg timer like timer before displays and buttons gave us multiple different functions and power levels on a microwave. It was on or off.

I just tap the Express button twice. It’s like double-tapping a handgun.
