...so go ahead and stink up that break room at work with the odor of burnt microwave popcorn and if anybody complains... tell them that's just how you celebrate December 6th!

    Aw man...I WISH I had some fish to reheat right now.
    Oh wait...the microwave is in my office and no one else uses it. Most of the staff is out in the field.
    I'd only be enjoying it alone.

    Hahaha!!! That actually happened in my office just a few days ago when someone was making popcorn. Hence a brand new "death box" and new nice list of "rules" for use. I'm also remembering that post about a year back about the MFP member who announced she threw out her "death" box. :laugh:

    someone at work did burn popcorn in the microwave and three floors had to be evacuated.

    Burnt popcorn I can handle but, microwave-reheated fish? Should be against the law.

    no, but since it was technically a fire, we couldn't use the elevators...had to walk down 42 floors. not fun.

    FD says that this is the #1 reason they have to go out on calls (at least in our downtown area). At one business the fire marshal banned popcorn in microwaves.

    Works both ways. You work different muscle groups going up or down, but it's still a workout.
