if your microwave has a +30sec button (probably unlikely with your microwave, but possible) you can just hit that twice instead of hitting "6-0-start"

My passcode on my phone at work is 8888. Anytime I am required to enter some stupid code when I don't want to (really, go ahead and "break in" to my voice mail at work if you want, I don't give a [expletive]) I do that. Not only do I do the 66 thing on the microwave, I often don't have the patience to wait that long either and will eat the food or drink the warmed up coffee slightly cold. And by often don't have the patience that implies that I sometimes do, which I don't. I actually don't think I've ever waited for a microwave to reach 0. I just can't do it.

I always stop the microwave with one second left because I don't like the beeps it makes when it reaches zero and I'm superstitious about even numbers. I like to think part of the reason I'm bald now is from ripping that door open before all the really nasty radiation has been sucked back into the machine while beeping.

most definitively, and be happy you've just gone bald by opening it at the 1 second mark. If you opened it up regularly when it showed seconds 2-5, you likely would have grown a second nose in a rather undesirable spot on your body. Opening it up above the 5 second mark is absolutely fatal.

Does anyone else find themselves using the 7 button alot on on Microwave? For example I'll put something in for 37 or 17. I just figure that 7 button never gets used.

Found out my car alerts me when I have low tire pressure, but it doesn't tell me which tire.
