I used to work in tech support. I liked those kinds of calls because I'd be off the phone in 30 seconds. People who overlooked a Standby button were not a problem. People with tons of problems who kept me on the phone for upwards of an hour trying to figure out what they managed to screw up were the real enemy.

That is the most counterintuitive kitchen appliance ever.
