how do i unplug a toaster? this has been bugging me all night.

Try pulling out the cord....

it worked, thanks man.

Wait, don't you have to push the button on the side that makes the bread pop up to turn it off...?

but----.... ton..?

this word does not appear to be in my vocabulary.

What can you do at 500 posts? Any special features "unlocked"?

you can change your avatar at 500... but you evidently already changed your avatar before this new requirement went into effect.

YES I want to change my avatar :D

Pressing the button is not required for unplugging it. Deetto, here are some more specific instructions.

Grip the cord connecting the toater to the wall socketfirmly between your thumb and forefinger no more than two (2) inches away from the plug. With a smooth but strong force, pull the cord from the plug. If it is resistent, use a slight lateral wiggle to work it out. If that fails, spray a little gasoline in the socket as a lubricant and light it on fire.

That'll do it. ;)

Pull by the plug, not the cord!

uh... that's what I meant!!!!

one time when i was about 7 i put a fork in a socket and i saw sparks!

A while ago, I had a toaster that started shooting sparks and burned the phone next to it.
Also, another time, I put a spork in a toaster and it melted (a plastic spork).

Well when your phone melted you at least didn't have to worry about telephone salepeople anymore ;)
