My solution to this is to not have clocks in my house at all.

This has nothing to do with the fact that I still haven't figured out how to set the time on my microwave. :D

Clocks on microwaves seems to be a curiously American custom, driven by the fact that US outlet sockets generally don't have switches.

In Europe, and the UK particularly, every socket has a switch so the microwave is turned off after each use.
