One more for me...

• If I microwave something, and I feel it needs a minute of heating, I will put it in for 66 seconds. If I feel it needs about a minute and a half, I will put it in for 1:33. This probably started as an attempt to streamline the microwave process, because typing in 6+6 was much faster than typing in 1+0+0. And for a minute and a half, it was faster and easier to just type 1+3+3, rather than 1+3+0, because my finger was already on the 3, so I could just double push and not waste time repositioning my finger for the 0. Brilliant huh?

I used to hit 1-1-1 for one minute instead of 1-0-0, until I found that if you just hit Start without pushing any numbers, it would turn on for one minute. And each time you hit start, it adds a minute.
