I take great pride in whacking the lever with one hand, then catching the toast in the air with the other.

There's people who don't even know there's a crumb tray to clean. Also, the manual likely has multiple languages and, of course, a bunch of warnings because people are stupid and incapable of taking accountability for their poor decision-making ability. "How was I supposed to know you couldn't put the toaster in the dishwasher?"
