I truly didn’t realize this bothers people. I will try to be more aware.

Every time. I hate excessive beeping. It ends up irritating my BF because he can’t stand when there’s 0:01 on the display, and I don’t think to cancel it after I close the door. He’s constantly coming behind me to clear it. Oh well.


In my house, that's a piihb offense.

No.

Normally I’m also doing other stuff and aren’t paying attention to it to stop it like that

Affirmative.

Also, I press the 2 Minute Quick Start button always rather than the 1 Minute button to spare the keypad the extra cycles.

Sometimes I have to stop the oven from cooking early because of this.

Whatever, I'm the apex predator in my house.

I suppose my maid does, as I never hear the microwave go off.

The beep reverses the damage of microwave radiation bombarding your tender vegetation.

I always wait for the beep.

I don't open it, but if I'm just standing there, doing nothing, I turn it off.

No. I hate having to clear the one second off before starting it again. My daughter leaves 1 second on purpose and it drives me nuts.
