    You can accidentally hit a knob and break it while moving the appliance itself. As for losing them, sometimes you knock one loose and it rolls under the fridge, and it’s not worth the effort of moving a large appliance out of its nook just to get the knob back. Shit happens.

    Maybe you were just a miracle child who never has accidents. Who knows?

      I have never had a range where the knobs are at the front, so that’s probably part of it. They’re much safer at the back.
