Hostile Interface

The Microwave/Combi Oven installed in the house is somewhat obtuse. In fact it's downright user-hostile. This Zanussi appliance (the Appliance of Stupidity - to paraphrase their branding) is particularly difficult to operate. So much so, that the Silver Vixen doesn't like to use it, and one of our neighbours has twice asked the Gorse Fox to talk her through its operation whilst she took notes.

By any measure, this is a massive failure of interface design.
