    I once left a metal spoon in my cup of hot chocolate. I was afraid to use the microwave for weeks after that incident as I legitimately believed that I turned it off a split second before a catastrophic explosion would level the block :D

      Man, you gave microwaves a lot of credit :)

        Heh yeah, I didn't grow up with such fancy technology as a kid, my first encounter with a microwave was when I was 9 and it was like alien technology to me!

        I honestly don't remember when we got a microwave. Though, I know my great-aunt and great-grandmother (who lived together) had one, so I guess I knew about them for my whole life. I do remember being very proud to be able to afford, from my own earnings, to replace my parents' microwave as a Christmas present my senior year of high school, though.
