I have a microwave

1. An expression used in moments of emotional awkwardness or when someone wants to help but doesn’t know what to say. It often comes from a heartfelt intention that ends up sounding random or awkward.
2. A lighthearted way to acknowledge that you want to offer support but are at a loss for words, essentially saying you have good intentions even if the gesture is a bit off the mark.
