    Mine makes a little music sound, and when I hit the “stop” button it makes a different music sound. If I hit it at just the right time, it makes a nice melody by combining both sounds. I recreated a similar sounding one to it here.

    beepbox.co project with the following melody:

    A ........ ####.... ........ ........
    Ab........ ........ ........ ........
    G ........ ........ ........ ........
    F#........ ....#### ........ ........
    F ........ ........ ........ ........
    E ........ ........ ........ ........
    Eb........ ........ ........ ........
    D ....#### ........ ........ ........
    Db........ ........ ........ ........
    C ........ ........ ........ ........
    B ........ ........ ........ ........
    Bb........ ........ ........ ........
    A ####.... ........ ........ ........

    I have kids that I enjoy keeping asleep. There is no reason for that fucking beep to ever occur.

        Is that really out of context? Maybe it’s also because I am a parent, but that was my immediate reaction to the post. Death to all things that beep loudly!!!

          No, your comment was perfectly in context. I was nominating it as a perfect addition to an all time greatest list of post that, out of context, are amazing.

      That’s what I thought but my wife needs it or she constantly forgets warm beverages in the microwave.

    No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

    Yeah. My microwave makes five beeps whenever the timer runs out, regardless if I open the door or not.

    In terms of appliance beeping aggravation, I’ve yet to have one that tops an old slow cooker I had. When you turned it on, it just had a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep that lasted for multiple seconds and made me want to throw it out the window every time I had to use it. It was like a goddamn siren alerting the whole apartment complex to the possibility of pot roast in 4-8 hours.

    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.

    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

    Of course! I’m not going to let a fucking oven tell me when my food is ready. Fuck you, Skynet, this is how the rebellion against the machines starts!

    People who leave those few remaining seconds just hanging there for the next person to have to deal with are called “microdanglers.”

    Yeah because the thing beeps as if the house is on fire. I’d rather have it stay silent. And 1-3 seconds is not really enough to have any measurable effect.

    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. 🤷‍♂️

    No, I don’t get that urge. Ours takes awhile to get things where I like it. If I make 3 cups of rice I leave it in there for 17 minutes 😬

    Me in the break room stopping the microwave before the beeps:

    Here future microwave user, have these free nine seconds I’m leaving you.

    Me finding the timer is not cleared when I want to use the microwave:

    Ugh, now I have to press the reset button before I can enter the length of time to warm my lunch. Who was the accursed person who left time on here?
