Why is it that the waves of the micro isn’t hurting our skin or bodies when we are in a rush and just open the door, instantly stick our hand in there and grab whatever we’re heating up? How can they go from actively heating up the food to not be there anymore?

Microwaves travel at the speed of light. By the time you open the door, the waves have long since been absorbed into the food and the walls of the microwave.
The food absorbs them.. They are microwaves, a form of light, moving at what ever speed of light is, in air. So in that 0.01 second after it beeps, the microwave have bounced around inside that microwave like 5 millions times. All of them are in the food.
Microwaves just heat things. They also travel at the speed of light. Whatever tiny little amount has not already vanished by the time the door opens will warm your flesh the most microscopically immeasurable bit as it is absorbed and also vanishes.

Microwaves move at the speed of light.
One light-second, the distance light moves in a second, about 186 thousand miles.
Those microwaves have finished bouncing around and have been absorbed before the beep from the oven got to your ears.
(Sound in normal air is about 110 feet per second; the difference is why you see lightning before you hear thunder.)

Microwaves are a type of light. You can imagine a microwave oven like a box with a few flashlights in it pointing inward. If you turn on a flashlight, and then turn it back off, and then stick your hand where the beam was, your hand doesn’t light up.
