    2.) No

    Same on all accounts.

    The time on my microwave changes, but it's always running backwards.

    1. It's on time, miraculously.
    2. I have a breakfast tray on top with my spices organized with tallest in back with shortest in front. Also my coffee maker.
    3. I thought I was the only person who did this!

    I hate it, too! Some of the microwaves let you clear it as it's beeping but some of them JUST KEEP BEEPING and it is terrible!

    I will RACE from the other room to get in front of the microwave in order to clear the time just before it beeps. Sometimes it's a gamble and I miss it and have to listen to it anway

    - how many minutes fast/slow is your microwave clock?
    The microwave clock is always right, even if it's not.
    - do you have things on top of your microwave?
    Cupboards
    - do you stop your microwave with one second left to avoid hearing it beep?
    YES! I hate the beep! Stupid beep.

    I really like this thread.

    But the beep is what the microwave looks forward to. It is their climax. You can't deny them this.

    It's like taking them to the peak of ecstasy then showing them a picture of Sloth from The Goonies.

    Well, that does make me feel bad, but not enough to allow that godforsaken beep to get through!

    Right now, my microwave clock is reset because i pulled the wrong plug and haven't bothered setting it again. It is usually right on time.

    There is a lot of random junk on top of it. Some sheets of paper and pens, mostly

    I stop it one second before it beeps, because it beeps 5 smurfing times. If it was just 3, I would have let it do it.
    everything is wrapped in gray
    i'm focusing on your image
    can you hear me in the void?

    The clock stopped working so it displays nothing unless it's microwaving things.

    Nothing, it's hanging from under a cabinet.

    No, that's dumb. I let it finish.

    i feel like at least one person has a convenience store microwave with just a dial for the amount of time and not a push-button setup.

    It's about a minute off.

    Nothing, because it's raised and installed above the stove.

    Yep! Most of the time if I'm nearby. Otherwise, I let it run it's course and let it beep.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
