Here at the law offices of Some Dude, Some Dead Dude, and Some Other Dead Dude, we had an anonymous employee burn their microwaved popcorn so badly, and the stench so foul and all-encompassing that a memo was sent out from the president of the firm himself. It stated, in no uncertain terms, that microwave popcorn was contraband and its use could lead to termination.

We're not always the friendliest of workplaces.

Anybody send a memo banning paper towels and urinals?

Burned microwave popcorn is probably the reason I had to wake up at 2 or 3 AM at least twice every month from October to March my sophomore and junior year of college (from people burning it and setting off the alarm). Thus I, too, hate burnt popcorn in the microwave and those who allow it to be burnt.

Back in my freshman year of college in the dorms we used to burn popcorn in the microwave to cover the smell of what we were smoking.

That's genius right there. We used to use the toilet paper tubes filled w/ dryer sheets.

Yeah, then the burning popcorn sets off the fire alarm at 6am and makes everyone go stand out in the snow for an hour.
