It smells burnt and gross....

I like popcorn, I usually make it at home but I understand the convenience of the microwave bag popcorn (especially here at work, I have an office job). What I don't understand is why people will microwave their bag for more than 3 minutes (sometimes 5 minutes). I personally dislike the smell of burnt popcorn and I know I'm not the only one.

So why are some people inconsiderate and stink up the break room with their burnt smelling popcorn? What is so appealing about the burnt smell? I can't imagine it tasting good.
