I don't know, my microwave flashes "Enjoy your meal" every time it's done heating something and I like that little touch.

I find it strange when I microwave a sock full of dry beans to use as a hand warmer, or a piece of metal that I need to make slightly larger though. My other microwave displays a generic "EnJ0Y!" blinking a few times which is much more applicable in those situations.

What kind of microwave is that? Mine just swears at me. Consecutively.

Microwaves are the most aggressive robots.

"Hey! Hey! Your food has been ready for zero seconds! Hey!"

. . .

"Hey! F#$face! Your burrito has been ready for five seconds! Eat your g-d food meat bag!"

. . .

"Ten seconds?! REALLY?! Are you serious?! We're enemies forever now! Eat this crap for f's sake!"

I see you've met my dishwasher.

"Hey, the wash cycle is over" Yes, but everything is still as hot as lava.

"Hey, it's been 5 minutes." Still hot.

And then it beeps a "Hey!" every five minutes thereafter.
