This is another of those "is it just my family?" kind of situations.
So we are usually pretty busy. Sometimes dinner is "every man/woman for him/herself". This usually means microwaving, whether it's leftovers or something in the freezer that can be heated quic while doing schoolwork or taking business calls or taking care of the kid or walking the dog or a thousand other things.
ERA, sometimes you microwave something and you wait a few minutes to go grab it.
PEOPLE FREAK THE FUCK OUT IF THEY SEE SOMETHING IN THE MICROWAVE. I swear, a very casual but constant "there's something in the microwave" happens if someone does not STARE AT THE SPINNING GLASS PLATE and take the food out immediately. Someone will walk by to get a glass of water or grab a cookie from the counter and WHO'S FOOD IS THIS IN THE MICROWAVE HEY DID YOU KNOW YOUR FOOD IS DONE IN THE MICROWAVE.
YES, I KNOW, I HAVE TO FINISH THIS EMAIL QUICK. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING OUT FOR ME.
Someone else walks by.
HEY DID YOU KNOW ---
YES.
Sometimes people get shitty. "DON'T LEAVE THAT IN THE MICROWAVE". Why? Is the vaper going to stain it? Will it malfunction and explode like Shreck's store in Batman Returns?!
HAVE YOU EVER EATEN FOOD FRESH FROM THE MICROWAVE.
IT WILL BURN YOUR TONGUE AND SOUL.
It needs to rest. My god, the tupperware has scars from chili heated up ten years ago.
Shit's hot.
ResetERA, it's been a long week. I'm so sorry.
