    Me: pops out crumb tray to clean it.

    Me: pushes lever up to raise toast to pull it out easier

    Person who never flicked through the manual: WTH?

      There’s people who don’t even know there’s a crumb tray to clean. Also, the manual likely has multiple languages and, of course, a bunch of warnings because people are stupid and incapable of taking accountability for their poor decision-making ability. “How was I supposed to know you couldn’t put the toaster in the dishwasher?”

      I take great pride in whacking the lever with one hand, then catching the toast in the air with the other.

    I assume it’s in like 4 or 5 languages though?

    Also, gotta spell it out for the people with below average intelligence not to stick fingers, fork, or hands in it. The Toaster isn’t a substitute for a rubber duck, etc. lol

      They need to add a page for the intelligent people laying it on its side to make cheese on toast

    If any of it contained repair documentation that’d actually be pretty cool, but I’m pretty sure it’s mostly just “how to press a button”, and “please don’t put this in the bathtub”

    There are people who read the manual - peace be upon them.

    And there are people who do not read the manual. May they spend enough time on hold to reconsider the errror of their ways.

    I just checked, and it seems even my dualit classic isn’t exempt from this!

    Though to its credit, it’s mostly “how to not set the kitchen on fire” and “how to get the best out of your toast”.

    It annoys me on toasters like this that you can’t activate just one side. If you want to toast a single slice then you still have to have all the elements on instead of just the ones where the bread is.

    I genuinely didn’t notice the bossin’ design on the toaster until I saw the even better picture on the manual!
