Mine does the same thing when I accidentally press buttons out of order. It assumes I’m a little kid playing with the buttons and will not turn on unless the “Clear” button is pushed twice (or it’s unplugged and then plugged back in).

We used to cook piles of those free AOL cds like that. One year we decorated the Christmas tree with them.

My life was fine before I saw this

Antigravity solved!

Time to burn down the house and leave the country.

Microwave mug cakes can be amazing! Pro tips: the amount of cake mixture you make using one egg is far more than you can fit in one mug. The mixture should fill about 1/4 of the mug, definitely no more than 1/3. Bake on full power for 40-50 seconds. Serve with double cream. Nom.

I'll correct your spelling mistake "ex-girlfriend".

That’s not a terrible idea… Edit: I think I discovered how these things start.

This is probably soo good. And all the grease is in the napkin. Lately I've been hating pep pizza bc soo dang greasy. I love crispy pepperoni though.

The battery though...

Who are these people? How do you even manage to come up with an idea like this?

Wowsers!

Wipe it up with toast

Why would you microwave an avocado to begin with?

Umm... moving on...

OUCH!🤢

I guess you could say it was so flippin hot in there! :)

New improved Frisbee?

Play silly kitchen jenga, win silly cleaning up prizes from cat!

That is absolutely horrid!

I did this exactly once. Had to replace a plastic ramen dish. Have been very careful not to repeat the mistake.

You literally microwaved a photo of someone’s melt down, what did you expect?

Fancy door direction.

You can actually cook eggs in a microwave...just not the way you did it. 👎

What part of life was she trying to hack?

Its soup

Tempered glass is... weird. A little tap in just the right spot can shatter the whole thing. I've handled it at work. I set a glass lampshade down gently on a worktable not long ago, and it exploded.

Did the same thing to popcorn. 10 years ago. You can still smell it in the kitchen....

I’ve done that once. Smelled like fire for hours.

Every Italian within a 15 mile radius are notified just now and are coming for you now...

I don't how these are anchored- but could it also be it wasn't fastened well? It just seems much for a popped bottle. Or can a bottle really pull a microwave off the wall?

My whole microwave didn't cost $200. I get that built in can look nice but they just seem to be more $$$ and a bigger PITA

More people microwaving tea. Is this seriously a thing?

Im not even British OR a tea-drinker and this sounds like a travesty

OMG that's a $150 mug!! 😳😳😫

"Help with the electric kettle". How the hell does she cope with crossing the road?

Who microwaves tea? I weep for humanity

For those of you wondering what's happening, this is what happens when you microwave ceramic mugs not rated for microwaves. The material is slightly porous and that tiny amount of water that gets in expands violently when it turns to steam and can crack the cup more. Ceramic itself does not absorb microwaves, but many minerals in the glaze do, so it's able to get hot enough to severely burn your hand and even melt the glaze. Don't ask why I know this, but if you lick the outside of a cup that this happens to, it tastes like an odd combination of chemicals and whatever drink was in the cup.

No, because I’m not a cretin and I own a kettle. Bloody yanks, disrespecting tea. Disgraceful.

What a weird non-friend thing to do.

Thanks delivery man!

Bet you were eggstatic to clean that up?

What sort of crazed madman would microwave bacon? Has to be crispy!

Doors are over rated, you do you, shove a pencil in the latch hole and microwave away.
