My boss nuked his gold watch!!!

[pinoy]

He noticed a moisture build up in the glass of his watch. He said the first thing that came to his mind is the microwave oven. After a few seconds, the moisture is gone...................and parts of that glass!

ASS - CLOWN!!!

 

[Mill]

Good God. Why is he in management. Actually why is he even alive...

 

[Rkonster]

Ummm, microwave most definitely would not cross my mind. Brilliant.

 

[Luden]

Sounds like the typical manager to me...

 

[HannibalX]

He should have wrapped it in a paper towel and all would have been well.

:camera: 's

 

[rudeguy]

at least he didnt...well no...there wasnt a worse choice he really could have made

 

[Nocturnal]

Doh, what a moron!!!

 

[floccus]

This is pretty common, its called DBS (Dilbert Boss Syndrome)

 

[HappyPuppy]

You can always hope that he gets the drips some day and puts it in the microwave to dry it up!

 

[Jgtdragon]

As I start reading it doesn't make sense and I looked at the title again. lol

Not anymore. He is a manager! Once you become a manager a virus will rot the brain and all sense of reality disapears.

I wonder what physics were behind the glass breaking? As far as I know there shouldn't be a problem with putting glass in the microwave... anyone clue me in? Guess I'm a retard.

Vapor buildup?

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Well I bet he at least got out the moisture.

Bingo!

Gasses expand around 700 times when going from liquid to gas form.
1 drop of water expands to 700 drops of vapour. No way that can fit inside a watch.

 

[OulOat]

Not to mention the metal parts inside the watch... mmmm, cancerlicious

 

[bozack]

That was a really bad move, do you know what kind of watch it was and if it was real gold??? moisture can really do alot of damage to a watch on the inside, especially rust very quickly since the metal usually isn't finished all that well (Can gold rust though??, well no matter the other parts that are not gold can).

The best thing to do in that situation is to take your watch, pull out the crown, put it in a ziplock bag with one of those Silica gel packets and that will draw the moisture out, then asap take it to a place to get fixed.

from the looks of it, its like a gold-plated watch w/ black faceplate/bezel. very common w/ seiko or citizen watches, afaik.

But how did it get there in the first place? I would think the steam would escape through the same path that it took to come in. Then again, a microwave heats things up pretty quickly and I guess it wouldn't have had time.

jeez, just open the back and let it evaporate. hell, even use a hair blow dryer to blow out all the moisture. then seal it back up.

 

[Conky]

The sparks from the metal would make you shut it off before it ever got a chance to crack the glass.

I don't believe this story. Everybody knows you don't put metal in a microwave.
