Obviously, the VCR your ${parent} keeps asking you to program for them was purchased because it was more complicated, and that silly microwave they have with a big sign on the power socket not to turn it off at the wall, or you'll have to re-set the clock before you can microwave anything, and you need to type in the exact number of minutes and seconds for every single cook time, because you needed to cook for 20 minutes and 7 seconds!

( Sorry, poor and overcomplicated Microwave UI design is one of my Pet Peeves, I don't see many people doing it right, and lots of crap organizations doing it the wrong way yielding horrible nightmare contraptions even intelligent people can't get to do anything practical because somebody lost the manual at some stage )
