    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.

    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.

    It depends on how annoying a noise it will make if allowed to finish. I find it odd that the option to disable the beep on completion isn’t common. There’s rarely any urgency to remove what I just heated.

      Really? First thing I do after a power outage is turn off the sound on the microwave. I’m not putting stuff in for hours, I’ve not forgotten about it. If I’m not taking it out of the microwave immediately it’s because I’m busy. Settle down, machine.

      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.

    I used to stop my microwave a few seconds before it finished, like many others, due to the annoying unstoppable beeps. But then I got this smaller unit that happens to let out the faintest confirmation of doneness that I ever did, or rather almost didn’t, hear. I don’t mind it now.

    Someone at work does this and doesn’t clear the remaining time. Pisses me off. Press the stop button for the love all that is holy. Look, I know it’s petty.

      Not petty, totally fair. In my case, the microwave is the most visible clock from the couch, so I am always annoyed when it’s 00:02 instead of the time. But then again, the power goes out frequently where I live, so it’s not so reliable as a clock in the first place

    I have this annoying microwave that beeps 5 times when it hits zero, even if I open the door in the middle of it. Kinda rude honestly

    I time it right so that I can run towards the microwave “in slow motion” and pretend I’m stopping a bomb from going off, 1 second before it blows. My kid loves it. 🤷‍♂️
