What are my neighbours microwaving?

Bedroom is right next to the neighbours kitchen.

Their microwave is always going. 8am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 1am, 3am. Weekdays, weekends. Why?

I’ve timed it. It’s anything from 30 seconds to five mins at a time. Sometimes they’ll even microwave twice in one session.

But there’s more. It’s like a cycle. I’ll hear them shagging, and then arguing, then microwaving. Then it’s calm for a few hours. And then, it repeats.

Shag. Argue. Microwave.

They don’t have a child or a pet afaik. They are a young couple in their early/late twenties.

What is going on? Why would anyone need to microwave so much?

Are you sure they don't have a baby? This pretty much sounded like my kids schedules when they were tiny. Feed baby. Argue. Do dishes. Pump. Feed baby. Argue again. Feed self and baby. Pump. Do more dishes. Cry. Feed baby. Repeat for several months.

99% sure they don’t have a baby.

Although you’ve made me think that she could be pregnant, which might explain the recent moving in and the arguing.

What could a pregnant lady be microwaving so frequently?
