Found a trick to stop the office microwave from beeping 50 times

My office has this ancient microwave that beeps like crazy even after you take your food out. It sits right next to my desk and it drives me nuts when someone makes popcorn and walks away. After three months of this, I read on some random forum that you can hold the stop button for 5 seconds to mute the sound. I tried it last Tuesday and it actually worked. The beeping stops after the second beep now. Has anyone else managed to silence other annoying office appliances without getting caught?

Unplugging the conference room printer for 20 seconds reset its loud low toner alert for me.

20 seconds is oddly specific but hey whatever works.

And here I was thinking the secret to office peace was hiding all the Sharpies (which I totally do, don't judge). I love that your microwave now only beeps twice like it's giving you a polite heads-up instead of a full-on concert encore. You know what else works? Wrapping the printer in a blanket when it starts screeching about low toner. It's not graceful but neither is my morning coffee so we're even.
