The act of checking something over and over again when deep down inside you know the outcome will never change. Similarly to opening the fridge over and over again when you realize that no matter how many times you do so it's going to be just as empty as it was beforehand. Regardless you continue to do so anyway through wishful thinking.
Checking your phone over and over again after days of being left on delivered is exemplified through this term. No matter how many times you open your phone, you know deep down that you're not going to hear back anytime soon but you can't help yourself from checking in hopes that maybe you're wrong. Many other situations can be applied to "Opening the Fridge '' such as misplacing something and continuously checking the same spot or looking for someone when you know they aren't around.

Get the Opensis mug.A complex mental state somewhere between ambition and delusion, where a person is utterly convinced they’re destined for greatness but hasn’t taken a single concrete step toward it. The disciple of Owenism wakes up every morning declaring they’ll “lock in today,” only to be found hours later lost in the depths of motivational videos titled “How to become successful in 30 days.” It’s not pure laziness — it’s performance procrastination, powered by overconfidence, caffeine, and the belief that destiny is just running fashionably late.
In social settings, an Owenist can usually be identified by their dramatic sighs about “how busy” they are, even though no one has actually seen them work. Their natural habitat includes cluttered desks, half-written essays, and 15 open browser tabs on “how to stay focused.” While incurable, Owenism can be managed with small doses of humility, accountability, and maybe actually doing something once in a while.
Think of the word scum. Belives they can help society but they're useless and will never amount ot anything. Copes saying they have OCD but really is just lazy. SCUM OF THE EARTH
