The microwave divide

At a job very early in my patchwork of positions a supervisor freaked out when I opened a microwave oven's door and reached in before the timer had finished. The little internal "cooking" light was on which in the model involved didn't switch on when the door was opened. Disregarding my eye rolling, a short speech about the dangers of microwaves plus long and detailed instructions about the correct way to use a microwave oven followed, much of which I still use today.

This morning my youngest daughter stacked the microwave panel to panel with sealed plastic containers straight from the fridge, punched in a high number of minutes, pressed cook and exited the kitchen. After assuring me the containers would move about within the oven and some eye rolling of her own. And yes the containers did sort of shuffle around in spurts when enough of them pressed up against one another, so what was my issue?
