Fridge goblin

Yep, definitely a fridge goblin—a mysterious, snack-stealing, half-eaten-food-leaving creature that lurks in the shadows of your kitchen. It thrives on confusion and mild inconvenience, making sure your favorite treats are either mysteriously missing or returned in the most cursed way possible.

Step one: Set a trap.
Step two: Confront the goblin (or guilty roommate/sibling).
Step three: Demand justice.

Or just start writing your name on everything in the freezer like a survival tactic.

The fridge goblin ate half of my Creamsicle and put it back in the box with no wrapper.

Opening the Fridge

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.

Thomas: I cant find my cellphone

Lucas: Well where did you last have it?

Thomas: By my desk..

Lucas: Did you check the drawer?

Thomas: Yeah like a thousand times.

Lucas: Then why are you walking over to it and checking again? Also that drawer is very clearly empty...,

Thomas: Maybe I'm just looking on the wrong side...

Lucas: At this point you're just Opening the Fridge

Thomas: Found it! It was under the desk!

Lucas: Oh Good

Thomas: Dang she still hasn't replied...

Lucas: What did I just say.....

smart fridge Ramadan reset

A frustrating phenomenon where the date settings of a smart fridge are inexplicably reset to coincide with significant dates in the fasting month of Ramadan, such as Tuesday, April 2nd 1991 or Tuesday, April 2nd 2024. This glitch forces users to wait until nightfall to access food, humorously highlighting the absurdity of technology failing at crucial times.

Every time I unplug my smart fridge, it resets to Tuesday, April 2nd 2024 — now I can only eat at night during Ramadan! What a classic case of the smart fridge Ramadan reset!

smart fridge

Smart fridges are something that are typically too expensive to be bought now, mainly for families who haven't experienced owning smart fridges yet — thus they have to buy second-hand smart fridges from junkyards. However, a junkyard smart fridge oftentimes have their date setting reset on dates coinciding with the fasting month of Ramadan like Tuesday, April 2nd 1991 or Tuesday, April 2nd 2024 every time the user attempts to unplug and replug the smart fridge. Therefore, the owner oftentimes end up only being able to eat from the smart fridge at night upon the date resetting.

I thought I was being smart by buying a second-hand smart fridge from the junkyard, but now I can only access my food at night because it keeps resetting on dates that coincide with Ramadan like Tuesday, April 2nd 2024. Guess I should've saved up for a new one!
