    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 ####.... ........ ........ ........

    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.

    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. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

    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.

    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!

    I have kids that I enjoy keeping asleep. There is no reason for that fucking beep to ever occur.

      That’s what I thought but my wife needs it or she constantly forgets warm beverages in the microwave.

        Is that really out of context? Maybe it’s also because I am a parent, but that was my immediate reaction to the post. Death to all things that beep loudly!!!

          No, your comment was perfectly in context. I was nominating it as a perfect addition to an all time greatest list of post that, out of context, are amazing.
