Is it safe to put things on top of a microwave while it's in use?

Generally speaking, yes. The oven has shielding under the case to keep the radiation inside. It doesn't stop 100% of it, but the waves that escape are weak and dispersed. I don't recommend putting an elephant on there, something too heavy might distort the case then you'll damage the integrity of the shielding, but other than that there is no real danger.

I think it depends how hot your microwave gets. Most of them, yeah, you're fine. Unless your microwave gets really warm, I don't see why there should be a problem.

I have things sitting on mine and have for years so I say it is safe.

my wife keeps things on the microwave all the time when its in use or not and we have had no problems yet

Yes, it doesn't get warm and as long as there are no vents to block, you are safe.
