    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?

    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.

    Mine makes a little music sound, and when I hit the “stop” button it makes a different music sound. If I hit it at just the right time, it makes a nice melody by combining both sounds. I recreated a similar sounding one to it here.

    beepbox.co project with the following melody:

    A ........ ####.... ........ ........
    Ab........ ........ ........ ........
    G ........ ........ ........ ........
    F#........ ....#### ........ ........
    F ........ ........ ........ ........
    E ........ ........ ........ ........
    Eb........ ........ ........ ........
    D ....#### ........ ........ ........
    Db........ ........ ........ ........
    C ........ ........ ........ ........
    B ........ ........ ........ ........
    Bb........ ........ ........ ........
    A ####.... ........ ........ ........

    Yeah. My microwave makes five beeps whenever the timer runs out, regardless if I open the door or not.

    In terms of appliance beeping aggravation, I’ve yet to have one that tops an old slow cooker I had. When you turned it on, it just had a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep that lasted for multiple seconds and made me want to throw it out the window every time I had to use it. It was like a goddamn siren alerting the whole apartment complex to the possibility of pot roast in 4-8 hours.

    No, I don’t get that urge. Ours takes awhile to get things where I like it. If I make 3 cups of rice I leave it in there for 17 minutes 😬

      Quiet microwave gang. Took a while to find the instructions and can only be done when it’s first plugged in on mine.

    I feel like I am the opposite. If I set it to a specific time, then I feel I have committed to letting the food cook for that entire time and will not stop it early even if I think it looks like it’s done already.

        No, see, then I will have just committed to cooking it 1 second longer. I told the machine how long to cook it. I can’t be caught lying to my microwave or oven.

        I think I took the “boy who cried wolf” story a little too seriously…

    No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

    No. I like to stop it right as it hits 0 on the first beep if people are around, but if I’m by myself I wait for it to stop beeping.

    Of course! I’m not going to let a fucking oven tell me when my food is ready. Fuck you, Skynet, this is how the rebellion against the machines starts!
