Or he’ll pull a gun on you.
Who here thinks that this was not an inappropriate response?

I don’t condone it, but I understand it.
Good guy with a gun.
It wasn’t me. But I fully understand.
Yesterday … a co-worker heated up both tuna and broccoli. No guns were pulled but it was a possibility.

I used to work with a woman who loved burnt popcorn. She would burn popcorn in the microwave just about every afternoon.
It was totally inappropriate.
Oh, were you asking about pulling the gun?
(Yes, to both)
similar situation except my guy would throw something frozen in the microwave, set the timer for 30 minutes, then forget about it. Why 30 minutes you ask, because he was a fucking idiot. We had more building clearing fire alarms because of him than I care to remember. Then we’d get the all clear, only to walk back in to the smell of burnt ass food.
Oh and the same guy was an ice chewer.

The OK State math dept breakroom has a sign on the microwave that says “a new microwave will not be purchased until spring 2027.” The current one works — but it had to be replaced 3 times in the span of several months because people kept microwaving metal.
By “people,” I mean graduate students in mathematics and PEOPLE WITH PHDS IN MATHEMATICS. Signs listing items that cannot be microwaved (spoons, aluminum foil…) did not solve the problem.
I’ve experienced two office evacuations because of someone burning popcorn.
To be fair, there is only a 1.5 second gap between “Eh, nothing’s popping yet” and “Fuck, the whole microwave is on fire!”.

I’ve enjoyed reading the funny microwave stories.
I will say that I’m glad it came out this way that there’s no fucking way that guy should be allowed to carry a gun as part of his job. Good riddance.
I sautéed sardines indoors during the severe nausea phase of my wife’s first pregnancy. Not my best moment but in my defense, far from my worst.
Justifiable homicide.
My first thought was about somebody heating up a goldfish in a bowl of water for some reason. The nurses at my office hate it when I bring tuna fish sandwich to office. I think they are snowflakes.
there’s a saying that if there’s a sign, there’s a story behind it.

We have actual rocket scientists heating up fish in the microwave, and at least once one of them must have put metal in there because the microwave caught fire.
