- 0 seconds, I fix trout that's not working.
- Usually, my cat.
- No, I'm not insane.

1) Exactly on time.
2) Nothing, it's underneath a cabinet and my fiance thinks putting stuff up there looks tacky.
3) Only when someone is trying to sleep in the immediate area.

This. Although I do stop it a few seconds early sometimes if I have a headache or if Sarah is around, since the noise apparently is just the right frequency to grate on her eardrums like nails on a chalkboard.

I don't think it currently shows the time
there is a paper plate with a coke zero on top of it, but nothing else because Lola uses it to jump on top of the fridge.
yes

we have 4 clocks in the kitchen: the microwave, the oven, the coffeemaker, and an analog clock that's still there for whatever reason. i believe currently the microwave and oven are synced (within a minute), the coffeemaker is 2 minutes fast and i don't bother checking the analog one.

the microwave is one of those over-the-stove ones so nothing is technically "on top" of it. there's a shelf above with cookbooks and whatnot but that doesn't really count.

the beep is long gone on this microwave. and i swear to god if you leave any time on a microwave i'll hunt you down. if you wanna stop it early go ahead but clear it, gosh darn it

[rubah]

I leave any time left on the microwave because maybe I want to use it later. Can't take those seconds back, mang

[Shiny]

-Depends on what I'm cooking. For the popcorn the "Popcorn" option doesn't always pop all the kernels. #firstworldproblems
-A Patti LaBelle cook book. It's a running joke between my family that my mom is Patti LaBelle or thinks she is.
-Yes because mine beeps three times and will even say, "I'm done" where the timer is. It's like I know you're done, don't you sass me microwave!

[I Took the Red Pill]

-9 hrs and 11 mins fast
-Nescafe instant coffee
-Usually, yes

[Jiro]

My microwave doesn't tell time. It just microwaves.

There is currently nothing on top of it.

I don't watch things in the microwave. I set the timer and smurf off and do something until I hear it beep.

[WildRaubtier]

It gains pretty fast; it's currently about 6 or so minutes fast.

My old housemate's mail.

No, that's just stupid.

[Araciel]

same as my watch
pens/pencils/paper
never stand by it even for a minute

[Faris]

1) ...uhm couple of seconds fast
2) Teas and sugar.
3) Depends on how I'm feeling, if my food is making popping noises, and if I want it to tell me to "enjoy your meal". Don't tell me what to do.

Bonus: weirdest thing I microwave: ice cream for 3-5 seconds. I prefer it soft :3

[Jinx]

1. It just says 0.
2. Yes. There's a basket with potholders and trout.
3. No. Usually I leave the area, and forget about my food for like 10 minutes, and have to reheat it again.

[Bubba]

1) Your microwaves have clocks?

2) Bills. I should probably start opening and paying them soon...

3) I have a dial timer so I always twist it back to the start position to hear it ting. Sometimes, I will watch the dial get precariously close to zero then try and say "ting!" at the same time as the microwave. Have I revealed too much? Yes, I think I have...
