My microwave has a feature that when you press the "Start" button without entering a time, it just runs for 30 seconds on high.
One time I hit the start button and it started running based on the value of the clock (e.g. it was 4:23pm and the oven kicked on and counted down from 4 minutes and 23 seconds).
I suppose it could have been a weird coincidence, but my partner is very strict about leaving "unused time" on the microwave and obsessively hits the Clear button. Plus it seems unlikely that there would be that much unused time left (it's usually a few seconds), or that I happened to use the microwave exactly when the unused time synced up with the clock.
