Luckily I'm eating out this afternoon.
Your office doesn't provide hot coffee either? Is your HR boss Catbert?

I couldn't imagine specifically banning non-matching microwaves from the office, having a day off and receiving an email that someone brought a microwave into the office, getting angry that someone disobeyed me, emailing building security to have this microwave removed.

There are things I can be petty about, but I have no idea how miserable I'd be if all of the above things happened to me.

Monday another microwave needs to show up. It should also be painted poorly to match the walls.

You can take our microwave but you will never take our freedom.

I guess it's in the fine print. Did those 6 matching microwaves need approval from the building safety board? If a non-approved microwave blows up and kills someone who's it on? The building? The HR-boss? or us?

The problem is that the microwaves are late.

Someone needs to bring in another, preferably not cleaned up either and full of grease. It'd be hilarious if on Monday, your HR manager comes in with 10 gross microwaves in her office.

Once the new microwaves arrive, microwave a stick of gelignite from home in one, blow up and burn down the building, then point the finger at HR saying, "This wouldn't have happened if we'd bought microwaves based on performance instead of looks."

PS: If you don't have gelignite, Acme sells TNT, although you have to buy in bulk. Maybe save the extra in case you feel like catching some free range squab, or to give it to neighborhood kidss who need to learn playing with matches is for adults.

My gosh this thread must be a pre-April Fool's lead-up!

Absolutely unbelievable if this is really occurring in an office.

I am obviously too easy too annoy. Typically I am the even keel in my company but without having ever met your hr manager I want them to burn in hell. I mean a painful perfectly matched fire. So perfect that flames that are too cold and don't match aren't allowed to be part of the fire.

In Vancouver they stockpile old dead microwaves at the recycle depot, Id slip the guys doing their day parole at the depot 10$ (that's enough for a flap of meth, keep them happy) and grab twenty or thirty of them, fill up HR office in the dead of night till you can barely open the door.

Arts and crafts exercise for a Friday afternoon. Everyone design the fanciest cardboard microwave you can out of storage boxes and put them up in each kitchen.

Just print up a bunch of pics of microwaves and tape them around the office. They'll get the hint and expedite it.

I think old buildings dont give much of a #### what you plug in and use in your office space.

In new office towers Ive worked in recently, the building doesnt allow its tenants to plug in and use things like space heaters or something like a microwave. Cleaners and other staff of the building manager will report if they see such items and the tenant will get notified and can get fined. We've had women try to hide small space heaters and they kept getting caught and didnt get in ####, but did get stern warnings and that was the end of that.

The day they took away people's heaters at our work was something else. I have never seen so many normally mild mannered middle aged women turn into violent maniacs in all my life.

Women work better at a higher temp than men. So they may have a point.

I guarantee that if it was the Coffee machine they would either fix it that day or have some replacement ASAP. HR must have access to a list of microwaves that have been approved. I would let them know multiple times a day that it is unacceptable and that something needs to be done (the more people the better to complain).
