Sometimes; usually a few inches back. It worries me that I do this; I hope I'm not being irradiated!

Microwaves are the debil.

Usually, I leave the room, unless it's for a really short time. I wouldn't say that I stare, that would be rude.

No. Usually, I'm doing other things while I'm waiting on it to finish.

I check from far away, glance at it repeatedly. I don't stare at it.

When I first got one, I watched it a few inches back. I exploded eggs, and put a can of tuna in a bowl, and watched it pop like popcorn. I got board of that and I dont watch it any more.

Is that so wrong?

So far I'm the only one who presses my face up against it...Maybe it is so wrong after all *wry smile*

If you cook a sponge cake in the microwave (not ideal, but I have been in situations where I had no access to an oven) then you have to watch it very closely or you end up with biscuit.

It depends..if it's for a long time, then I go do other things, but if its only a minute or three, I lean against the sink across the kitchen and watch it...

Yes. Especially when I'm heating water, I need to know when to pull it out.
