Yesterday I sold my perfectly working microwave to this lady that I met on Craigslist. It was working fine. A couple hours after she picked it up, she called me saying that it’s not working. She explained, there’s a piece of cardboard in the microwave. So I figured it was a piece of a packing box that I left in there and I said, well if it’s a piece of a cardboard box, take it out. Turns out, it’s not the “cardboard box” that she described, but a “waveguide cover.” How the hell do you get that mixed up!!! That’s a piece of the microwave and is no supposed to be taken out. P.S. the waveguide is silver, not cardboard box brown.

I got this email: hello Lindsey, I found out what the thing is, I found it here  http://www.sharpusa.com/files/mic_man_R306L_R307L.pdf  it is called the waveguide cover, and it says do not remove , but you said that it must be from moving and you said to take it off and so I did and while doing so it broke so I will need a new one could you check if another one came with it when you bought it please,
let me know ,
thanks

Ok, so she broke it and blamed it on me. Fantastic. I told her I’d check for another waveguide cover, but honestly, what microwave company gives extra waveguides in case their incompetent users think it’s a box and pull it out, revealing a hole on the side. Dumbass.

This morning I get this email:

I read the instructions and I turned it on once and it looks to work ok,
thanks

Needless to say, if she can’t figure out a microwave she shouldn’t be using it. Note to self, only sell electronics to competent people.
