Truly, the microwave has seen it all. From defrosting food in the nick of time to saving children from their parents' spiel on time-management, being an active participant in late-night cooking experiments, keeping students alive and fed in dorm rooms, and witnessing passive-aggressive battle-royales in the office breakrooms (microwave etiquette is very important).
