But, surely it's possible to eat, like, *raw* bread if you can't toast it...?

I laughed more than I should have at that

I think there's a definite gap in the market for a travel/desktop toaster. Nearest is this from the Onion.

It would need to have industrial launching springs to allow it to double as a personal defence.

Industrial lunching springs.

At university I had to carefully warn a housemate that adjusting the bread while it was in the toaster with a metal fork wasn't the sanest thing he could be doing. He said it was ok because he wasn't touching the sides. This is someone who thought you boiled eggs by putting them in the kettle.

I also knew someone else who's housemate buttered the bread before toasting it, so the toaster ended up with a load of rancid butter in the crumb tray.

Ugh, my brother crams two sides of toast with cheese in between in the toaster, leaving molten stinking cheese cemented in the crumb tray, it nearly caught fire as well because of that.

There is a joke to be made about your story and your UID. But I won't. It's unkind.

As a final epitaph to this story, I have now brought in my own toaster to work. I get strange looks, but I don't give a shit. Toasted bread rules.

Keep up the fight Vice.

We need people like you, standing firm against the masses.

Speaking of toast, I know someone who enjoys marmite and peanut butter.

TOGETHER ON THE SAME PIECE OF TOAST! O_O

By not adhering to the working time directive and forcing it to work unsociable hours, below minimum wage. Also preventing it from observing daily worship rules according to their religion.

Will you be locking this baby up, so that it won't get misused by your co-workers?

Looks less than a year old, he's OK.

What happens if someone else creeps up and toasts 4 bits of bread when VD wants to use it.....he'll go postal!!

Someone should take the fuse out the plug and just watch him get more and more annoyed at how the toaster won't work.

No, this stays by my desk. Thankfully, those savages won't steal from desks. Only from fridges.

Could you have bought a bigger toaster mate?!? Looks like you're over compensating for something.

And what happens when you go to lunch? Or have a day off sick or as leave?

I predict coming back to a crumb-littered desk and subsequent shooting sprees.

Speaking of marmite. My EG Secret Santa provided me with a supply of British foodstuffs, including marmite.
As I know the stuff and fall into the "hate it" category, I told my mom and stephdad they could have it, they might just like it.
My mom had a look, opened it, smelt it and proclaimed this was a flavour enhancer that you use for making soup, not something to put on your bread.
I did try to explain people in the UK put it on toast but she refused to believe me. So it'll be going in her soup.

On the side of the box for the toaster it says "make up to 4 pieces of toast in half an hour!" O_o

Thats a fucking seriously long wait for four pieces of toast. Is it running off one triple-A battery or something???

Actually, its title is "USB Powered Toaster Gift Box", I guess you can take it from here.

@sport
What is wrong with wanting to have your 4 slices done in the best way possible.

/looks in his underpants and pats his chippolata. Then toasts it

@Darkmorgado
If that was to happen, I'll channel Jared Loughner. I'm pretty sure that Gabrielle Gifford has been stealing butter on her campaign trail.
