Pretty much everyone I know, slams the microwave shut(I don't). Why do people do this? Besides slamming doors to make a point, I can't think of anything else that people feel the need to slam shut.
Sorry, everyday at work, I hear people down the hall in the kitchen slamming the microwave shut & was wondering, why? Thanks, Mike |

Because it is really hard to slam one open.

I do it because I usually have a hot dish in my hands so I close the door with my elbow. My elbow is not nearly as dainty as my hands...

Never thought of that. What does drive me nuts, at work, are people that leave the door open. Even more maddening are those who do not switch back to the clock and leave 45 seconds (or what have you) on the display.

The latch on our microwave at home is rather noisey and it closes hard--not at all like a quiet rubber refrigerator gasket--so maybe it sounds as if they're slamming it more than they actually are.

What else to slam shut? I don't know.
I was camping once and got really ticked off and stormed out. I tried slamming the flap, but it did not work. SO I zipped it up real fast.

It lets them know its shut. Since the Fridge makes no sound, sometimes it is left open.

I don't really think it's limited to Microwaves... my mother does this and almost anything with a door on it will be broken. Sliding doors, cabinets with broken hinges, even the garage door has been broken due to repeat slammings.
I think it's the same reason why some people brake really hard when trying to stop a car instead of gently pressing down. If anyone else gets frustrated with the "slamming", I urge you to check out the new style hinges and drawers if you ever need a renovation. You can slam them as hard as you can and yet just before it closes it will slowly slide in by itself. Personally I believe the person that invented this should get the nobel prize. |
