    The beep from the microwave hurts my ears. So I stop about 1 second before it beeps.

    I’m just hit the god damn stop/cancel button if you want to stop it before the timer reaches zero.

    I have this annoying microwave that beeps 5 times when it hits zero, even if I open the door in the middle of it. Kinda rude honestly

    Someone at work does this and doesn’t clear the remaining time. Pisses me off. Press the stop button for the love all that is holy. Look, I know it’s petty.

      Not petty, totally fair. In my case, the microwave is the most visible clock from the couch, so I am always annoyed when it’s 00:02 instead of the time. But then again, the power goes out frequently where I live, so it’s not so reliable as a clock in the first place

    Yes, regularly AND I leave the remaining time on the microwave. It’s pure chaos over here.

      My partner does the same thing! The amount of times I’ve looked at the microwave and wondered why time is standing still is too damn high!

      I mash the stop/clear button until it makes more beeps than the microwave would have made if I let the time expire.

      This is how my wife is. However, weve recently (6 months now) gotten a new microwave and i havent had to clear the time off once. There’s no way shes changed her ways, so this must have a feature to clear remaining time after so long

    Yes. Even tho. You should let an item sit and continue to cook after the wave is done. I just grab it like a Neanderthal.

    No, unless I want to set it up for period shorter than what is available but that hardly ever happens.

    I usually leave and come back when it beeps.

        Is that really out of context? Maybe it’s also because I am a parent, but that was my immediate reaction to the post. Death to all things that beep loudly!!!

          No, your comment was perfectly in context. I was nominating it as a perfect addition to an all time greatest list of post that, out of context, are amazing.

      That’s what I thought but my wife needs it or she constantly forgets warm beverages in the microwave.

        But why won’t the noise turn off as soon as you open the door?

    Never had one, used one maybe 3 times in my life. I’ve let them run through until I heard the beep, then came over to check. Is that’s not how it works?
