This is me telling the waffle iron it brought death upon itself by not having a true off switch as I pull the plug from the wall.

Haha, kitchen appliences that don't have a poweroff button are actually what inspired me to draw this. It was a coffee machine in my case.

My fridge does not have an off button, does that count?

A fridge is never just sitting idle, what reason is there to ever turn one off instead of unplugging?

At least the kitchenaid has a lever to yank to a stop. But that waffle iron! Oh he annoys me! But at least he's not connected to the wifi so he can't defy orders...yet.
