I'm involved in both cases.
I was the designated trip sitter while my friends came over and got high. One decided to make brownies and being too impatient to melt chocolate on the stove, put the metal pot in the microwave for a couple of minutes. The kicker is that this all unfolded in front of me; we were chatting and I was too distracted myself to give a second thought about metal in a microwave. Microwave survived, kitchen stunk to high hell of molten plastic handles, and the pot was thrown out.
I attempted and failed to seal a leak in the middle of a pipe with teflon tape.
