Random thought #6 - Microwave Minute

10.....9.....8......7.........6........5......4.......3......2......1......open door....

Do you ever notice that when you put something in the microwave and you stand there and stare at it you think it is going to go faster. Like the microwave is going to heat your food faster if you stand there and look at it. The microwave has a secret hidden camera inside of it to know that you are standing there staring at it so the camera tells the microwave brain to make the timer go faster cause this person is hungry. Right???
Another thing with standing there watching your food cook thinking the timer is going to go faster now that you are looking at it. Why is it that we have to open the door when there is only 1 second left. Is it that important that we have to have our food right then and there that we can't wait one more second?? I mean you have just waited a minute (really 59 seconds) for your food, what is one more second. I know I have done this many times but why? What makes it even funnier is that you know that you can't hit the button to open the door at 3 seconds cause that is too soon, but 1 second left is acceptable. Just a thought...??
