some people are not technologically savvy what seems obvious to one person is not obvious to another especially if their education is poor

There was a woman who successfully sued a microwave manufacture (in USA of course) when she tried to dry her wet kitten (it died) in her brand new microwave.......said there was nothing in the instructions advising her not to do that!!!

I do hope that you don't seriously believe this urban legend. Nice swipe at the USA of course.

She has filed a warranty claim, I am sure.

The woman decided that in order to dry them it would be a good idea to put them in the microwave for a full minute

So under a full minute would be OK then, right? 

Thai people have no idea what a 'wave' is.  My girlfriend bought a tiny portable oven and said it is a microwave.  I spent a while saying it is nothing like a microwave, costs a lot of money is pretty much useless.  So it has sat in the kitchen for a year now and we have never used it.

 

I am not surprised someone would dry headphones in one.

My Mom had a friend who apparently tried to dry her little dog in a microwave.  This was back in the late 1950's when almost no one had one.  Her husband was an executive for Tappan Stove, who manufactured them.  They cost over $1,000 back then.

You CAN put your dog in the microwave to dry

BUT first you have to poke holes in him so he doesn't explode

I once cooked some squirrel innards to feed to the dog.  They exploded.  So I cleaned it, poked holes in everything and tried again.  Still popped.
