Why can’t they make things that don’t beep with every push of a button? It annoys the heck out of me. Am I alone?

Seriously. To turn on my electric heater when it’s chilly in the morning, I have push a button and it beeps. If I have to change the settings, it beeps with every push of a button. Why? The infrared heater in the living room has the loudest beep ever! You can hear it all over the house! Why? Do they think everyone wants to hear it say, at 3am? Our propane heater doesn’t beep, but its button has an extremely loud click! Why?

My fan beeps with every touch of a button. Why?

My air fryer automatically starts at 15 minutes so if I only want to cook something for 5 minutes, I have to push a button 10 times. It beeps 10 freakin’ times! Why?

The same thing happens with my Instant Pot. If the last time it was used it was set at 40 minutes, and this time I just want to set it for 10 minutes, I have to listen to it beep 30 damn times before I get it down to 10 minutes! Why? Is that really necessary?

Let’s not forget the microwave. Every push of a button summons up another blasted beep. And when it’s finished, it decides I need to hear 4 more beeps, as if one beep isn’t enough to let me know when it’s done. Why? I get 10 beeps with the Instant Pot when it’s finished, and 8 beeps with my air fryer! Why?

My breadmaker has its beeps, too. Why?

If the answer to WHY is that the maker wants you to know that it’s working, that’s just stupid. Why, you ask? Because there’s a digital display on those things and that should be enough for a person with a half of a brain to see that they have turned the appliance on or off, or changed the settings. Good grief.

Why can’t all my appliances be like my crock pot? It’s quiet as a mouse. Not a sound. And it doesn’t even have a digital display! I turn a knob to turn to put it on high or low, and to turn it off. Simple. Gotta love simple.

Nothing is simple these days. All we get now are beeps.

Beep, beep, beep.
