A Zen Toaster is the stand in name for any quirky appliance that really ought to be recycled. It's Zen quality pretty much comes down to three things -- everything changes; everything is connected; pay attention. This karmic appliance is often seen in a starter home or in a college/roommate living situation; Perhaps it was purchased at a garage sale for cheap because one can't afford even the appliance at Walmart and such retail establishments. So while the Zen Toaster works with some kind of complex stipulation like it will not pop your toast out unless you hit the side of the toaster or it toasts doubly fast, it will work if you are present. However chances are you will be distracted by something like your phone and before you know it -the Zen Toaster burnt your toast just like a Pompeian papyrus scroll in 79 BCE. Now you have no toast, a smelly kitchen, perhaps even the smoke detector has gone off-and all because you didn't pay attention for a minute with what you know very well is your Zen Toaster!
Roomate: "Madeleine you are *f%$#4ing smelling up the kitchen again with your rye bread in the Zen Toaster!?!" Can you please get Meerkat while you attempting to cook!

Saying that you would go out of your way to do something for someone. If someone is struggling or you care deeply about someone, this is what to say.
P1: Hey...my mother hasnt been doing so well
P2: Tell me what she needs, I'll reach over the toaster for her.
-----
P1: What do you promise me?
P2: I will always be reaching over the toaster for you, even if you make me mad.
--------
P1: Why'd you two break up?
P2: I was sick of reaching over the toaster for her. All she did was keep begging for more. At that point, it wasn't reaching over the toaster, it was prison.

Something, normally an electronic device, that runs slowly and heats up. It gets warm enough where you can toast bread on it.
Friend: *Sends video*
Verd: Sorry could you send me that video over email? My toaster phone can only view videos in 2 pixel quality.
