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
People who leave those few remaining seconds just hanging there for the next person to have to deal with are called “microdanglers.”
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.
HOW
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.
I specifically looked online before replacing my last one – it didn’t just beep, it screamed at the top of its lungs.
Now a happy owner of a silent LG microwave. (You hold two buttons simultaneously to put it in silent mode)
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.
I hate the beep in every form so far, and I avoid using microwaves every chance I get.
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.
I am triggered, please for the love of god and anyone who lives with you JUST CLEAR IT
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, if I wanted to microwave something for 57 seconds I’d put 57 seconds in. I don’t practice brinksmanship
The beep from the microwave hurts my ears. So I stop about 1 second before it beeps.
Microwaves stop by themselves? /j
