Jacket potato for lunch

Just really annoyed right now as someone from work believes it is perfectly appectable to put a potato for 15 mins in the microwave!

There is already a queue as it is.

That’s silly, they should cook it beforehand and just reheat.

We have multiple microwaves in the kitchen now because the demand was too high at lunch.

Yanbu that's really obnoxious behaviour

It’s reasonable to bring one for lunch. It should already have been cooked and just need reheating.

Can you suggest they should cook it at home the night before and would only need to reheat it then. That's what one of my co workers does.

Can’t other items go in at the same time?
