Day One Hundred and Five, September Fifth

How some microwaves have a "time" button which you have to press before entering in the time for which you will microwave the food. This is completely useless, and causes confusion. The assumption is when you press a number button, you are entering in a time, and if you wanted to use a different mode, you could press that button. Often you walk up to an unfamiliar microwave and enter a time, to yield no results, as you had not yet gone through the completely stupid step of indicating to the microwave that you were indeed interested in using the time function. Microwave designers should step their game up, and stop making stupid errors.
