Superfluous Button Pushing!

Been a while since posting random musings, but here's one:

Considering that my diet consists mainly of Jimmy Dean, Chef Boyardee and leftovers, it's easy to guess which one of your standard, supposedly convenient, household appliances an individual like myself would likely value most. Why the hell do I have to push a "time cook" button to tell the microwave I am ready to heat something up?

I am obviously not punching in missile coordinates or trying to make a long distance phone call. I am trying to heat up my Hungry Man or a tube sock filled with Vaseline as quickly as possible and I do not appreciate all this superfluous button pushing. It's bad enough I have to take out and stir my Lean Cuisine half way through its cook time and let my Hot Pocket cool for three minutes so molten cheese doesn't drip out like battery acid, delicious, delicious battery acid.

The people who design these household appliances must really have no idea who they are making this product for, nor how truly lazy I am.

Maybe some market research would enlighten them to the fact that I walk around my house with a flashlight because all my bulbs are burned out and I'm too lazy to change them. I throw my silverware out after using it because I am too lazy to do the dishes. I would even rather sit through the second half of a Tyler Perry movie than look for the remote that's lost somewhere in the couch cushions.

But no.

I have to stand in my kitchen and heatedly stare at my microwave like it were an idiot working his first day at Arby's, putting yet another hindrance between me and my immediate gratification.
