I'm okay with appliance making cute little dings or buzzes but if they chime out a full song it creeps me right out. I'm gonna get the clothes out of the wash you don't have to scream "Mary had a Little Lamb" at me.

Agreed, about keeping more goofy songs out of the kitchen.

But I'll make an exception for my egg cooker.

My egg cooker beeps the equivalent beep to "I will fucking kill you all. Also these eggs are done. Seriously though, if I weren't just an egg cooker, I would stab you right in the eye."

I would trade that beep for pretty much any other sound, even a goofy song.

What in the world is an egg cooker? Mine is called a pot.

An egg cooker is a special appliance for people who feel like their pot doesn't take enough electricity, and doesn't cuss them out with a special beep when finished.
