Or a funny one. A friend and I were on vacation, MANY years ago. Our room had a microwave, amoung other lovely amenities. I came back from a solo outing one afternoon, and she told me that the microwave was not working. She had been trying to heat up some take-out from the night before, and said the microwave just kept shutting off. Thank goodness, as she was trying to heat it in its aluminum container. I was surprised that she did not know that little fact, although, to be fair, it was MANY years ago, and they were still fairly new. Fortunately, no damage was done, and I made a mental note not to assume that everyone knew how to use them.
