Definitely unpopular. In a strange way I kind of agree about not wanting to burn your mouth, that’s horrible and not worth it. I’ll sometimes sit and wait for several minutes for my plate to cool if it’s steaming hot, even when I’m hungry and other people around me are eating. But there’s always a point where it’s obviously safe and still nicely warm which is much better than being cold.

Next time this happens to you, may the comments here be a reminder: you didn’t screw up, the machine is perfectly capable of screwing everything up all by itself.
