DAE catch a random comment that stuck with you for days?

I was waiting for the bus last Tuesday and this older guy told his friend he hasn't owned a microwave since 2012. Said he just reheats stuff in a pan or toaster oven. That little thing has been bouncing around my head all week. I keep thinking about how much counter space mine takes up and how I barely use it for anything serious. Got me wondering if I'd actually miss it or just be annoyed at slower reheating. Has anyone here ditched a common appliance and found it was no big deal?

Tossed my microwave out last year after the door spring broke and I never bothered to replace it. Honestly the only thing that sucks is popcorn, I just use a pot with oil now and it's like 5% more effort. But my counters look way cleaner and I stopped eating those frozen meals that taste like cardboard anyway.

My buddy tossed his drip coffee maker and now just uses a French press, says it tastes way better.
