Me in the break room stopping the microwave before the beeps:
Here future microwave user, have these free nine seconds I’m leaving you.
Me finding the timer is not cleared when I want to use the microwave:
Ugh, now I have to press the reset button before I can enter the length of time to warm my lunch. Who was the accursed person who left time on here?
I used to stop my microwave a few seconds before it finished, like many others, due to the annoying unstoppable beeps. But then I got this smaller unit that happens to let out the faintest confirmation of doneness that I ever did, or rather almost didn’t, hear. I don’t mind it now.
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.
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.
I have my microwave on silent so I actually prefer to let it finish so I don’t need to press a button to clear those few seconds to have a useful clock back
There’s such a thing as a beepless microwave 😮?
Basically every microwave iv seen in the last 25 years has a way to turn off the beeps.
Read the manual for the shit you own. It’s wild sometimes how hidden options can be.
WHAT BRAND OF MICROWAVE DO YOU HAVE?
LG #1675079
For older ones I owned, you can open up the control panel and take out the little speaker puck as an irriversable alternative option.
It depends on how annoying a noise it will make if allowed to finish. I find it odd that the option to disable the beep on completion isn’t common. There’s rarely any urgency to remove what I just heated.
Really? First thing I do after a power outage is turn off the sound on the microwave. I’m not putting stuff in for hours, I’ve not forgotten about it. If I’m not taking it out of the microwave immediately it’s because I’m busy. Settle down, machine.
Only if I think I set it for too long.
It beeps 5 times if I don’t. Super fuckin annoying, are those beeps.
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!
No, my microwave has a nice chime instead of a beep
Mine does a singular *ding*, which is very appreciated.
The beep from the microwave hurts my ears. So I stop about 1 second before it beeps.
If you time it right, you can stop my microwave on 0. I also like to avoid making noise if I can. So every time I microwave anything it’s a little minigame for me.
Our microwave doesn’t beep until like 5 seconds after finishing, it’s just silent. I think that’s a pretty good feature.
Wow. That’s a great feature. I need to look out for it next time. Thank you
Are you me?
Yes.
Well yeah that’s when the bomb goes off, gotta stop it
Yes especially at night cuz I don’t wanna wake up my parents and my sibling lol
