Only if I’m standing across the room and my brain calculates that the time it takes to close the distance is within the time remaining on the countdown and I get to do a badass flip, twirl, and slide to stop it just in the nick of time so I get to pretend I have super hero level reflexes.
I cannot do badass flips but the point still stands. I can twirl and slide though, as long as I’m wearing socks.
Microwaves stop by themselves? /j
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!
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
My husband wants this. Brand?
LG. Pretty sure its this one specifically
LG 2-cu ft 1050-Watt 29.88-in Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking (Printproof Stainless Steel) MVEL2033F at Lowes.com https://share.google/nsL7QDb6vs06tbJTj
Awesome - you may have saved a marriage 😉 Thank you!!
So i know its 2 weeks later, but i just confirmed this is a feature! It doesnt clear left over time after just 5 minutes
Stay away from my family!
I mash the stop/clear button until it makes more beeps than the microwave would have made if I let the time expire.
I am triggered, please for the love of god and anyone who lives with you JUST CLEAR IT
Sometimes
Only if I hear popping noises (and I am not microwaving popcorn)
Or when popping popcorn and it stops popping.
If there’s cheese I’ll let it pop 2 or 3 more times before stopping it.
No, but I don’t wait for the beeping to stop.
Turning off the sound of my microwave was an ability I was not aware I had. It’s so small of a thing but amazing.
Wait that’s a thing?!
Now you have a new feature required on your next one if you can’t already do it.
It depends on how annoying a noise it will make of 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.
I’m embarrassed that I’ve never even thought of attempting this… Do all microwaves have that option?
No they do not, unfuckingfortunatly
I time it right so that I can run towards the microwave “in slow motion” and pretend I’m stopping a bomb from going off, 1 second before it blows. My kid loves it. 🤷♂️
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
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.
People who leave those few remaining seconds just hanging there for the next person to have to deal with are called “microdanglers.”
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?
Or press the +30 button and bask in the glory of food cooked for 39 seconds.
If I don’t stop it before the last second, the universe will blow up.
Almost always.
Yeah because the thing beeps as if the house is on fire. I’d rather have it stay silent. And 1-3 seconds is not really enough to have any measurable effect.
