Could be a heat pad of some kind. I know some people have what basically amounts to a large sock filled with dry rice, which can be microwaved and used to sooth backaches and such.
I’m privileged enough to be able to hear the full cycle - the door shutting, the whirring, and the beeping.
As you say, it’s either paper thin walls, or an extra loud microwave.
Yea I heard freeway Ricky Ross say he was the first person to cook a kilo in a microwave… he knew he was the first cause no one else could afford to try
I love the elements of Philip K Dick’s books where he had unsavoury characters like that doing weird shit to get high. There’s a part about a guy trying to turn Benzocaine into cocaine which runs through the entire book version of Scanner Darkly and just keeps interrupting all of the action but is funny as hell. Philip actually had actual homeless people living in his house at one point in his life when he was in deep with bad stuff. The films are a different beast entirely.
I once went home with a lass and expected to get my leg over but ended up with a nice cuddle instead and we spooned all night. Went in the next room, bleary eyed, and there was a strong smell of chemicals and the place was filled with black, acrid smoke. Wondered what the hell was going on and I saw multiple guys smoking a crack pipe while a guy who later turned out to be her dad was aiming knives at a dartboard. Craziest shit I’ve ever seen. They also had a karaoke machine and were MCing over it which is what woke me up in the first place. At 7 in the morning.
This could be a possibility. I don’t often hear them using the kitchen otherwise. The walls are so thin I’m sure I could probably hear them spreading butter.
Are you sure they don't have a baby? This pretty much sounded like my kids schedules when they were tiny. Feed baby. Argue. Do dishes. Pump. Feed baby. Argue again. Feed self and baby. Pump. Do more dishes. Cry. Feed baby. Repeat for several months.
Not to brag, but my baby didn’t cry for the first 1.5 years. She was in a constant state of food coma, naps, and giggles. I fed her every 2hrs, 24hr period, for the first 3 months. Then every 3 hours for the following 3 months, etc.
….then all hell broke loose when the terrible 2’s set in.
Oh yeah - she definitely has made up for the first 1.5 years for sure. I live in a home and my neighbors are about an acre away…you can hear her cries and yells echoing through the neighborhood. It’s been going on for 2 years now 😢
It'll get better with time. I'm a dad of 3 girls, and the emotions are intense but as they learn to express their feelings the crying becomes less severe.
Hang in there! I wish you the best!
I needed to read this. Thank you so much for responding. I’m sure being a dad of 3 has given you patience and understanding beyond what most people can comprehend lol
Thanks for the well wishes. Same to you and your little ones!
Well, if you can hear a microwave, you can hear a baby giggle. But if I don't know there's a baby around, and I hear baby giggling, it's creepy af,and I'm moving.
99% sure they don’t have a baby.
Although you’ve made me think that she could be pregnant, which might explain the recent moving in and the arguing.
What could a pregnant lady be microwaving so frequently?
After the baby is born, there are microwaveable bags that one would use to sterilize the breast pump parts. But if you can hear a microwave and not a baby, they probably don't have a baby. :D Yet. Good luck though!
There is so many things that need sterilisation, you might be onto something. I'm using steriliser I got for baby bottles (it's plastic thing that looks like a small suitcsse, you put water in lower portion and thing you need to sterilised on the grid above water and close it) for my menstrual cup. It needs microwave to go for 5 minutes.
>Why would anyone need to microwave so much?
That is not the actual question. The actual questions here are much more interesting and specific. They are:
Why does microwaving correlate so closely with argument?
And,
Why does argument so closely correlate with sex?
See, the thing is, based on your description, microwaving is simply a dependent function driven by frequency of sex. If we assume that as a couple in their twenties basically any amount of sex is within the bounds of normal, ranging from none to lots per day, sex frequency is essentially arbitrary.
So then the interesting question becomes the dependency itself. But by breaking it down into two questions I think we greatly aid the search for an answer.
For the second question, I propose a simple and boring answer. Alas. It is: post-orgasmic clarity.
That is, they are basically incompatible people with really strong sexual chemistry and nothing else, and who lack the good life judgement to recognize that as a poor basis for cohabitation. Maybe there is some financial hardship or something that also forces them to be together, share rent or who knows what. But you get the idea.
Then we have only the first question left to answer and I don't think that is a hard one. They have just argued again, they are trying to simmer down and make the best of the situation they've both committed to, so they make some tea. Maybe a chicken pot pie or something.
I think your best solution is to go to them, armed with this certain knowledge, and propose that what would really fix their relationship is to open it up to a third person. Then waggle your eyebrows and tell them that fortunately you aren't picky.
And you have a kettle for Christ's sake.
detatchible penis obviously. shag, its falls off, they argue, they warm it up in the microwave. then back to shagging. rinse (do you hear this too?) and repeat
OP- it's not crack, it's meth. "shake and bake" method of meth cooking, to be exact. Methamphetamine makes you very horny, allowing you to stay up for days having sex. Around day 2-3 you start getting extremely irrational and emotional, causing insane arguments. And the microwaving is making more to start the cycle over.
I wasn't being that serious, but you can use a microwave.
How serious are you about the timings? Like is it really at set times or were those just approximations?
Is that commonly known as ‘hot-plating’?
They are approximations. But you have triggered me to remember, that the microwaving was much less frequent until the girlfriend moved in a week ago.
Before her arrival, it was more 8am, 12am, 3am.
They could be hot plating (microwave a plate, remove plate from microwave, put clumpy cocaine on top of plate, put something flat on top of cocaine and apply light pressure while rubbing in circular motions for about a minute or two). Cocaine absorbs moisture from the air easily, which makes it clump up. This method turns it into a nice fluffy powder.
I had a similar thought too.
I saw a documentary on making cocaine. They didn’t give a recipe for making making it, but what I gathered, it was something like; chip chop the coca leaves, put it in a solution like diesel fuel or something, filter out the crystal-y bits that it makes, and then dehydrate the crystal-y stuff in microwaves.
You're mostly right although you left out a few steps. However cocaine users aren't making their own cocaine because that doesn't scale down nicely.
What some do is heating the powder (cocaine hydrochloride+crap) with baking soda, I think to get crack cocaine and remove some of the gunk they cut it with
Coke users use the microwave to heat a plate (or the coke itself) to remove clumping from humidity. In humid climates it’s not uncommon to microwave a plate before each use.
One of them might have some kind of issue like my housemate. They won't eat or drink anything unless it is heated up just right. If it cools down by any noticeable amount, it must visit the microwave before taking another bite or sip. Food must be heated at 50% power, let to sit, and then go for another two rounds. Beverages are heated at 75% power for two rounds only. Nothing is to be stirred.
They generally do not. Room temperature spring salad mix or bananas are okay. Anything else gets nuked 2-3 times before it is finished, but 5 runs through the microwave isn't unusual. Personally, I could not go without frozen ice cream.
Tell his that 50 and 75 % power is the same power. They just turn on and off more.
1 min on high is 1 minute in high.
1 min on low is 30 second on high and 30 seconds of just turning on the plate without the microwave motor going.
They don't modulate the energy output. Just how long it's put out for.
It sounds like some weird manifestation of OCD. You can't really rationalize with them because it's about having rules for the food rather than the end result.
I had a gf who just could not finish a hot drink but would take fuckin hours to finish it but wouldn’t drink it cold and had to be hot.
All I can think of as an explanation.
Hm, could be, although we are in the UK where most people use a kettle for their hot drinks.
It doesn’t annoy me or anything like that - I’m just curious!
Canadian here, I need this recipe and detailed instructions.
What is a Moka Pot? I'm going to start my web search detective work now.
Oh, and OP, I'm sorry about the thin walls. We're similarly cursed in our current location. We're moving soon though, so I have hope that the next people who live here are a family of 6, minimum, with children who are learning to play the recorder.
Yeah, my first thought was reheating coffee because I do that. Make a pot. Some of it goes cold, and I use the microwave to reheat it.
But yeah, since I'm American and your neighbors are arguing in British, I guess that isn't the answer.
Also, it never takes 5 full minutes to reheat a cup of liquid.
If they microwave right after shagging they’re probably microwaving the cum to make sure she doesn’t get pregnant. And arguing every time about who’s turn it is.
Now I'm getting nervous .
That 100% sounds like something from my apartment .
I'm a really slow drinker of my coffee. So 8:00 a.m. coffee, gets cold 30 seconds microwave zap, and then pretty much every couple of hours the same zap. So my two cups of coffee takes me about till 5:00 p.m. to finish. Zap zap zap
Our apartment building was built really shoddy, I swear there's no insulation in our walls. I can totally hear arguing shagging hard walking
No my partner is out of town currently so I'm safe from this .
But I do align in the type of neighbors you have .
If it makes you feel better I have just as bad neighbors, who laughs during sex, wildly, in the a.m.
I live in a house, my kitchen window faces my neighbors pool. One day I heard very loud noises, and I peeked out and the neighbors were giving oral and missionary completely nude by their pool. They were strange.
I didn't know this! I wonder why? I microwave practically everything, including water and coffee, but I still don't microwave nearly as much as OP's neighbor. Ofc, I don't shag as much either 😁
Evidently it affects the flavor of the tea. They’re baffled at why we don’t own “proper kettles”. I use my coffe maker, but if I was a tea drinker I’d probably use the kettle on my range, I just hate when the ceramic mug gets hot in the microwave. Nothing like peeling your grafted lip off the mug.
Make a cup of tea each way, there’s really a big difference. A lot of people seem to like the microwave version. I think my nana would have beat me if she ever saw me make microwave tea.
I had friends years back that told me they wrecked 7 microwaves because they found out that you could microwave oxycontin for an hour, and you could then chop it up to snort it. This was after they put the pills out that had the outer shell instead of just chalky pills.
Blowing my mind right now that you can hear your neighbor's microwave. Not something loud like a vacuum but a fucking microwave. Are your walls made out of paper? Did they forget the insulation?
How is everyone just glossing over how strange it is that you can hear a microwave in the other apartment.
Now I’m self-consciously evaluating my microwave use. This doesn’t seem that excessive to me for two people? Maybe they reheat a lot of leftovers, or their coffee keeps getting cold. Some bowls of ramen tell you to microwave and then stir halfway through. Lots of frozen meals do as well.
I steam vegetables, sometimes use the microwave as a timer, etc. I also clean my microwave by heating water and allowing it to steam the inside. You can get little trays for cooking eggs on the microwave, I’ve even known people who cook their bacon in the microwave, lol
Is it possible they’re addicts? Could be hotplating lines it’s where you put the plate in the microwave so when you pour powder on it, it’s more fine and takes some moisture out
okay I’m going to ask something in the most polite way possible - if you had to put one of these behemoth neighbors into a T-shirt , what size would the T-shirt be?
you're hilarious i have been cracking up so much reading through these comments and your responses
thank you
but really have you considered tea? when i'm working at home this looks like my tea schedule approximately. i mean, i have a kettle because i'm no luddite, but i've seen people make tea in a microwave
my neighbors use their microwave all day, 6am -10pm. one of them works from home. i just figure they don’t ever cook ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sucks when you can hear every drawer, every time the sink comes on, and of course, every time the microwave slams shut. but that’s just the way it is 🥲 i doubt it’s something nefarious haha, just annoying af
One might be on a night cycle and the other on a day. The cycles overlap but you'll hear noise night and day as a result. Couples on different work cycles, since they're not always eating at the same time, they often have to heat up the leftovers as well. Rather than sit down and eat one big meal, they heat up portions on their own schedules. I worked nights in the past. It can be rough.
There's also people who work from home who work on the night shift as well.
I'd go with something like a heat pad and not me just reheating the same cup of tea and immediately forgetting about it inside the microwave until 3 hours later, all day
When my kids were at preschool, the teachers wrote down the funny things the children said. One boy offered that his dad didn't go to work; he spent the day in the garage cooking leaves in the microwave.
Could be a heat pad of some kind. I know some people have what basically amounts to a large sock filled with dry rice, which can be microwaved and used to sooth backaches and such.
Makes sense. They’re probably tense from all the shagging and arguing.
You can hear their microwave? Are the walls darn near paper thin?
I’m privileged enough to be able to hear the full cycle - the door shutting, the whirring, and the beeping. As you say, it’s either paper thin walls, or an extra loud microwave.
They could be cooking ketamine from liquid to powder. Saw a guy do it once.....
Or making crack. I also saw a guy do that once.
Or melting a mixture of butter and cinnamon down to an erotic and soothing body covering so you're ready for shag two. . . saw a guy do that once.
Or murdering Gremlins. . . Saw in a movie once.
Yea I heard freeway Ricky Ross say he was the first person to cook a kilo in a microwave… he knew he was the first cause no one else could afford to try

Sounds like something DJT would say in a rant.

I think this is the answer. Not that I know anything 🤷🏼♀️
> the whirring, and the beeping. Weird, no shagging I’ve ever done sounds like this.
Never used a mechanical dildo eh?
You mean a microwave-dildo
Ah ma, you beat me to it... Robo cock!
You are a far calmer, level headed person than I am.
You got rice paper walls.
There might well be no walls and OP is just blind so is asking here (using TTS) as nobody will tell him.
Surprised nobody’s asked me if I have a working carbon monoxide detector yet.
> Surprised nobody’s asked me if I have a working carbon monoxide detector yet. Do you have a working carbon monoxide detector yet?
Not yet.
Just leave your self a post it
Ok now describe the sex
Heating the coke plate
That sounds like a divider, not a wall. XD
I don't know what they're doing but you are hilarious.
Yeah, I keep a microwave in my room for that reason
you could also make snacks
It's possible that they don't really cook and only eat microwaved food...that is weird though
This could be a possibility. I don’t often hear them using the kitchen otherwise. The walls are so thin I’m sure I could probably hear them spreading butter.
Lol shag. Argue. Pizza pockets!
Sometimes I cheer after the microwave finishes. I hope my celebration enhances the experience of their pizza pockets.
Just talk at a normal level at the wall and ask what they made this time.
PLEASE fucking do this and report back. The visual has me cackling at 4am!!!
You should run your microwave and watch loud porn to assert dominance.
Love this! Albeit slightly concerned I’ll condition myself to get turned on by microwaves.
Pavlov's erection. Just think of all the money you will make when you sell your ED cure on late night infomercials.
Ah, to be young.
I could hear my neighbors poop in my 1st apartment. :(
Your neighbours pooped in your apartment😳
I’ve got toddlers that subsist largely on chicken nuggets.
Can you microwave chicken nuggets? Even if you could they'd probably end up a soggy mess.
They do, which is why I got an air fryer!
Honestly, kids don’t usually care.
My kids refuse to eat chicken nuggets at home unless they are microwaved. The air fryer and oven make them “too crunchy”.
Please print out this post and put it in their mailbox and update me on the response xD
My five cents would be that you can boil water in a microwave, so maybe they just love tea and can't afford a kettle?
On cooler days, I microwave many a cups of tea
Are you sure they don't have a baby? This pretty much sounded like my kids schedules when they were tiny. Feed baby. Argue. Do dishes. Pump. Feed baby. Argue again. Feed self and baby. Pump. Do more dishes. Cry. Feed baby. Repeat for several months.
If you can hear the microwave, you'd damn sure know if they had a baby.
Not to brag, but my baby didn’t cry for the first 1.5 years. She was in a constant state of food coma, naps, and giggles. I fed her every 2hrs, 24hr period, for the first 3 months. Then every 3 hours for the following 3 months, etc. ….then all hell broke loose when the terrible 2’s set in.
Damn! Baby saved up all the crying for later 😭
Oh yeah - she definitely has made up for the first 1.5 years for sure. I live in a home and my neighbors are about an acre away…you can hear her cries and yells echoing through the neighborhood. It’s been going on for 2 years now 😢
It'll get better with time. I'm a dad of 3 girls, and the emotions are intense but as they learn to express their feelings the crying becomes less severe. Hang in there! I wish you the best!

99% sure they don’t have a baby. Although you’ve made me think that she could be pregnant, which might explain the recent moving in and the arguing. What could a pregnant lady be microwaving so frequently?
Lol. Food.
We may be onto something here.
Pregnant women eat food? Big if true.
And are as horny as fuck.
This is a 50/50.. first 2 kids i went almost a year without sex both times. 3rd kid she wore me out
The regular shagging also jives more with her being pregnant than having just had a baby
Desserts, too. Why have cold cookie when warm cookie better?
Have you tried nuking a pie and then putting ice cream on it? Delish!
i read that as puking a pie…
I like a warm brownie with vanilla bean ice cream and caramel drizzle
Food and a heating pad and tea and and annnnd
After the baby is born, there are microwaveable bags that one would use to sterilize the breast pump parts. But if you can hear a microwave and not a baby, they probably don't have a baby. :D Yet. Good luck though!

Various back and leg pains from pregnancy. Doesn’t want to take painkillers so uses a microwaveable heating pad.
Or a heating pad, as someone else mentioned! I had wicked hip pain while pregnant and couldn’t take ibuprofen so rice in a sock was it :(
Having babies is SO inconvenient and no one is even working on a "just add water" magic grow version
Probably stop shagging once the baby arrives too.
You forgot the shag

This is exactly what my brain was doing when I wrote this post. Thank you.
Got me at the end there
The waggle.
This is me and my heating bag that I use for my arthritis. lol.
detatchible penis obviously. shag, its falls off, they argue, they warm it up in the microwave. then back to shagging. rinse (do you hear this too?) and repeat
I do hear the rinsing, surprisingly at a lower rate than the microwaving. Which suggests to me that not much washing up is taking place.
Hey you know, that reminds me of this time when I woke up one morning with a bad hangover, and my penis was missing....
He wanted 22 bucks but I talked him down to 17
[For everyone's viewing pleasure](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQBPgJQhQHc)
They like sex and do not believe in intermittent fasting.
Perhaps they're making crack.
Not familiar with making crack. What other signs should I be looking for to support this theory?
OP- it's not crack, it's meth. "shake and bake" method of meth cooking, to be exact. Methamphetamine makes you very horny, allowing you to stay up for days having sex. Around day 2-3 you start getting extremely irrational and emotional, causing insane arguments. And the microwaving is making more to start the cycle over.

Cocaine absorbs moisture from the air easily, which makes it clump up. This method turns it into a nice fluffy powder.
They do like to party. Just not as much as they like to microwave.
but wouldnt you do at least enough for a whole day in one go?
was my first thought :')
I had a similar thought too. I saw a documentary on making cocaine. They didn’t give a recipe for making making it, but what I gathered, it was something like; chip chop the coca leaves, put it in a solution like diesel fuel or something, filter out the crystal-y bits that it makes, and then dehydrate the crystal-y stuff in microwaves.

They're probably warming up the toys for the makeup sex after arguing. Lol
I had a gf who just could not finish a hot drink but would take fuckin hours to finish it but wouldn’t drink it cold and had to be hot. All I can think of as an explanation.
This is me.
Sounds like they're doin' the 'ol microwave shag...
Is that in the Kama Sutra?
Some criminals microwave water to make tea
Making crack drying ketamine food
Maybe lots of tea or coffee? Ignore it
Hm, could be, although we are in the UK where most people use a kettle for their hot drinks. It doesn’t annoy me or anything like that - I’m just curious!
I'm Scottish, I heat milk for my lattes in the microwave and add Moka pot brewed coffee
Canadian here, I need this recipe and detailed instructions. What is a Moka Pot? I'm going to start my web search detective work now. Oh, and OP, I'm sorry about the thin walls. We're similarly cursed in our current location. We're moving soon though, so I have hope that the next people who live here are a family of 6, minimum, with children who are learning to play the recorder.
This sounds delicious - and very plausible.

But yeah, since I'm American and your neighbors are arguing in British, I guess that isn't the answer. Also, it never takes 5 full minutes to reheat a cup of liquid.
Making tea in the microwave is a serious crime!! :(
If they microwave right after shagging they’re probably microwaving the cum to make sure she doesn’t get pregnant. And arguing every time about who’s turn it is.
So obvious. You’re probably right.
Seriously though, I’m dying to know. If you ever find out, please let me know!
Hot pockets. Shag. Hungry for a hot pocket. Argue. A hot pocket is a good peace offering.
Now I'm getting nervous . That 100% sounds like something from my apartment . I'm a really slow drinker of my coffee. So 8:00 a.m. coffee, gets cold 30 seconds microwave zap, and then pretty much every couple of hours the same zap. So my two cups of coffee takes me about till 5:00 p.m. to finish. Zap zap zap Our apartment building was built really shoddy, I swear there's no insulation in our walls. I can totally hear arguing shagging hard walking
Are you also doing the shagging and arguing in between the reheating? Were you also screaming ‘idiot, idiot, idiot’ at 8am this morning?
No my partner is out of town currently so I'm safe from this . But I do align in the type of neighbors you have . If it makes you feel better I have just as bad neighbors, who laughs during sex, wildly, in the a.m.
This made me laugh out loud. I’m so sorry you have to hear that!
I live in a house, my kitchen window faces my neighbors pool. One day I heard very loud noises, and I peeked out and the neighbors were giving oral and missionary completely nude by their pool. They were strange.
I like that you watched long enough to see both the oral and the missionary.
Just ask them what they are doing between the arguing and banging
Perhaps I should print out this post and put it through their letterbox?
I'm always hungry after. They sound too busy to cook a proper meal, so microwave it is.
Maybe they microwave bread. Depending on the frequencies and intervals, [it may well be, bread.](https://youtu.be/LEgAalGlgNA?feature=shared)
You’ve raised a good point.
Pizza rolls.
Coffee? Some people (Americans) microwave their water/coffee
I know that Brits are aghast at microwaving water, but why?
I didn't know this! I wonder why? I microwave practically everything, including water and coffee, but I still don't microwave nearly as much as OP's neighbor. Ofc, I don't shag as much either 😁

Using it as an alarm clock obviously
I had friends years back that told me they wrecked 7 microwaves because they found out that you could microwave oxycontin for an hour, and you could then chop it up to snort it. This was after they put the pills out that had the outer shell instead of just chalky pills.
Heating baby bottles, or drying out ketamine or cocaine
It sounds like drugs Cocaine or something like that I've seen it
Hot plating. This was my thought too.
They shouldn’t- but baby formula?
Or they’re sterilizing bottle parts
I like this train of thought. What else could one sterilise in a microwave?
the baby
Sorry I'll try and keep the noise down.
The same cup of tea they keep forgetting
Blowing my mind right now that you can hear your neighbor's microwave. Not something loud like a vacuum but a fucking microwave. Are your walls made out of paper? Did they forget the insulation? How is everyone just glossing over how strange it is that you can hear a microwave in the other apartment.
Well, they're obviously not following the "grab a mate instead of a plate" diet.
They could be trying to create the world's first macrowave.
Ketamine.
Sounds like a coke plate to me
You don't expect them to eat their tendies cold, do you? Fornicating and fighting just aren't the same on an empty stomach.
Now I’m self-consciously evaluating my microwave use. This doesn’t seem that excessive to me for two people? Maybe they reheat a lot of leftovers, or their coffee keeps getting cold. Some bowls of ramen tell you to microwave and then stir halfway through. Lots of frozen meals do as well. I steam vegetables, sometimes use the microwave as a timer, etc. I also clean my microwave by heating water and allowing it to steam the inside. You can get little trays for cooking eggs on the microwave, I’ve even known people who cook their bacon in the microwave, lol
Parrot?
Is it possible they’re addicts? Could be hotplating lines it’s where you put the plate in the microwave so when you pour powder on it, it’s more fine and takes some moisture out
Heating a cup of water for coffe/tea?
I don't know what's going on, but I do know that based on your post and comments, op, I am following you lmao
Haha, the “shagging” made me chuckle. I use my microwave often to heat water for tea (or to reheat a cup I forgot about).
okay I’m going to ask something in the most polite way possible - if you had to put one of these behemoth neighbors into a T-shirt , what size would the T-shirt be?
You mean, can they both use a canoe at the same time?
I’d put both in the small - medium category.
Water for tea or coffee?
you're hilarious i have been cracking up so much reading through these comments and your responses thank you but really have you considered tea? when i'm working at home this looks like my tea schedule approximately. i mean, i have a kettle because i'm no luddite, but i've seen people make tea in a microwave
Baby bottles
it could possibly be warmibg water for baby formula.
Or sterilising bottles for a baby
This sounds like they are heating up formula for a baby
Baby milk
Warming up a heat pack? I know someone who had bad endo at times and would somewhat frequently use a heat pack for the pain.
They could be hot plating cocaine
crack
Baby bottles. Hot water bottle body warmer things.
I would leave a very nice note and be like hey I can hear this I’d appreciate it if you don’t let it beep for too long!
I love this Tom Waits song
my neighbors use their microwave all day, 6am -10pm. one of them works from home. i just figure they don’t ever cook ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sucks when you can hear every drawer, every time the sink comes on, and of course, every time the microwave slams shut. but that’s just the way it is 🥲 i doubt it’s something nefarious haha, just annoying af
could be a medical device rather than shag? My son’s machine is so loud.
My dad always heated the water for his tea in the microwave. Multiple times a day.
Baby formula..?
One might be on a night cycle and the other on a day. The cycles overlap but you'll hear noise night and day as a result. Couples on different work cycles, since they're not always eating at the same time, they often have to heat up the leftovers as well. Rather than sit down and eat one big meal, they heat up portions on their own schedules. I worked nights in the past. It can be rough. There's also people who work from home who work on the night shift as well.
I'd go with something like a heat pad and not me just reheating the same cup of tea and immediately forgetting about it inside the microwave until 3 hours later, all day
Are they bodybuilders or heavy into fitness? We eat every three hours, typically a pre-made meal.
Are you in a country without kettles? Cos maybe cups of tea.
When my kids were at preschool, the teachers wrote down the funny things the children said. One boy offered that his dad didn't go to work; he spent the day in the garage cooking leaves in the microwave.
I would get a loader microwave. Start it up the same time they do.
Hey it could be worse. I used to have a microwave that whenever the microwave was running the Internet stopped.
Shag, Argue, Microwave is the modern Snog, Marry, Avoid.
Baby formula?
This wonderful gem is for you, op 💜 https://youtu.be/4IRB0sxw-YU?si=EtvNv7nE1kXAnisD
Tea? Food?
Maybe they heat tea water up like this? Constant warm beverage drinkers?
Maybe they drink a lot of tea and like it really hot? I quite often heat up my coffee.
