There is a microwave oven at my workplace that flashes the following message across the digital display after it has beeped ready:  "Enjoy your meal!!!!"

Who is this kidding?  Does anyone actually think that a microwave is a sentient being of some kind? (don't answer - rhetorical question!)  Does this message actually make anyone feel warm and fuzzy?  Why do the creators of these machines feel the need to try to give them human attributes?  Has someone actually done market research to show that people are wanting their machines to greet them when they finish heating their meals??? 

For the work that went into this digital message on the oven, I got approximately 2 seconds of enjoyment, on one occasion - the first time I noticed the message.
