Me: pops out crumb tray to clean it.

Me: pushes lever up to raise toast to pull it out easier

Person who never flicked through the manual: WTH?

There's people who don't even know there's a crumb tray to clean. Also, the manual likely has multiple languages and, of course, a bunch of warnings because people are stupid and incapable of taking accountability for their poor decision-making ability. "How was I supposed to know you couldn't put the toaster in the dishwasher?"

Or alternative "How was I supposed to know not to insert a knife and damage the heating elements"

I take great pride in whacking the lever with one hand, then catching the toast in the air with the other.
