Upgrade to an induction stovetop and the issue disappears.
Comment on You've Just Been Hit By The Front Burner Gang

Nope, not me. The knob for my front left burner inexplicably has to be pressed in after being brought back to zero to actually turn off. It doesn’t have to be pressed in to turn on, and none of the knobs for the other burners have to be pressed for anything, just the front left one to turn it off. Literally everyone in the house has burned themselves on it at least once. We do not use the front left burner.

I’ll tell my landlord to get right on that.

Break the gad one so it looks like it failed on its own. Then convince the landlord that longterm the induction is better and he should install that. You can get them for quite cheap nowadays.

He’s got standard models he buys to replace everything so that all of his apartments have the same appliances. I’ve tried to get him to upgrade when he’s replaced dishwashers and washing machines, no dice. He’s usually got an appliance on deck ready to go to replace the next one that goes in one of his units. Which honestly is more prepared than 99% of landlords I’ve met so hard to complain, but even harder to get him to upgrade.

But induction also leaves you no choice on burner supremacy. Why do they all have weird non-grid burner arrangements and only one large burner?
My front-right is supreme because it’s the only large one. Even if I secretly joined the front-left ascendancy
And that tiny summer burner behind it is unusable because the tiny pot would disappear behind the larger one

The front left burner has rejected you and your heretic family
