Not once, but twice!

In the last six months, the fire department has had to come to the Law School twice because someone set something on fire in the microwave. I will give you the occasional burning of popcorn, but then that doesn't casue fire trucks to show up. To place something in the microwave for 10 minutes and then leave it alone is just dumb

Sometimes people press the buttons multiple times like they would at home and they are trying to do stuff on the lunch/break. I have pressed 3000 and gotten 30minute timer when I meant 300 for three minutes. It was a high yield carbon emitting event to say the least. Everything was black rock on the bottom of a cracked corningware bowl that was oven safe. The lid of the bowl was in that rock along with noodles ... Warcraft and cooking don't mix.

Though most microwaves I see for use at public places have the canned 'popcorn', 'sandwhich', 'reheat', settings that most people use. I could see someone pressing 10min twice thinking it was 1min on a really badly designed microwave.

Its a law library, they are future lawyers -- our future overlords -- they don't care about rules.
