She comes in.
Puts the bread in.
Turns it all the way up to SIX (or if we were to buy a different one, whatever the max is)
Then presses the handle down and continually ejects it every 20 seconds to check on it and then presses it down again.
This catches me out when I come, bleary eyed, to make my own toast - or at least it did, I've since learned to unconciously turn it all the way back to number 1 (choosing 2 or 3 is for people who are awake enough to read) and press it down for a second go once it pops.... lest I end up hungry, and late for work, staring despondently at a charcoal briquette and plotting my bloodstained revenge.
Thing is even on setting 1 it takes a good 30 or 40 seconds to go pop, and numbers 2 or 3 would brown her toast perfectly to the level both of us like, so why in the name of everything that's good and holy does she do that?
We never use frozen bread or anything like that, by the way: the aperture is far too narrow for muffins, and crumpets are rare treats
