I burnt the microwave popcorn! It didn't seem like it was burning and I stopped it well before the popping stopped. When I opened it, it looked fine until I got about halfway in. There was this big horrible clump of blackness. So I saved what I could (this is my lunch after all), put the rest in my trashcan. Then I went to wash my hands and realized when I re-entered my office that it stunk!! So I tied up the trashbag and took it to the bathroom to throw away (only "public" trashcan I could find). Now I've got my door and window wide open, which probably means that I'm stinking up the hallway now too.
So yeah, I'm that person that you work with who burns the microwave popcorn and stinks up the whole place!

I don't know if this would help at work, but I read someplace that you should invert a plate under the bag of popcorn (I use a small china salad plate at home, not sure if paper or plastic would work). I find that I can let it go all the way on the "popcorn" setting and it doesn't get very burnt, if at all. Definitely doesn't burn if you stop it early. Hubby thought that it was just Orville propaganda or something, but it does work.

Well, take some consolation in the fact that you're not the person who put a soda in the freezer to chill then went to retrieve it only to find it exploded in there.

Too Funny! It's been banned from the hospital where I work. Nurses are good for putting popcorn in and walking away. Fire Dept was coming too often that the President of Hospital said that was enough of the popcorn.
