Someone left one second on the microwave at the office. I had to press clear before heating my lunch.

I'm so livid right now.

I want to kill people when they do that.

The real problem is your microwave doesn't have the "add minute" button.

It has an add 30 seconds button. But why would I want to press that? I mean, why can't you leave your food in for one more second? Probably half a second by the time the counter reaches 1 and you open the door.

I do it so that the timer buzzer doesn't go off. I like to keep my microwaving as quiet as possible. I do clear the extra time, though.

I do this, too. I also internally calculate which method would require more button presses: hitting the 30-second button multiple times or entering the cooking time.

Hearing the beeping noise is way more annoying than pressing the clear button. Take one for the team :P

This is understandable. I always try to get to the microwave right before it's done so I don't have to hear it beep.

I personally like heating every up that requires 1 minute, to exactly 1:01.

i feel super cool and special all the time now
