Fridge won't stay shut, pisses me off.
Just got up from the computer to get some egg nog.
Opened the fridge door, removed egg nog carton from door, poured a glass, replaced egg nog carton in same exact spot. Nothing else was touched.
Closed the door and it popped back out an inch. Pushed in a couple of times.
kept popping back out....
Crap! Looked at what might be popping the door open. Couldn't find a thing.
Long story short.... almost removed everything, (rearranged) it works now but..... WTF. How random. I'll go back for more nog, eventually.
At one point I was looking around the room to see if I was being recorded or watched.
Moral of the story. Random sh*t happens, be aware, deal with it. (get over it)

what are you putting in your egg nog? hahahaha
is the fridge tilted back a bit? i don't know for sure, but i have always assumed that the top of the fridge should tilt toward the wall behind it so gravity will close the door. are there magnets in the rubbers that pull the door tight? is this correct?

Eggnog is not gross! What people put in it makes them gross - sometimes - most of the time it just makes them fall in the snow.
Not all eggnog is created equal and it's not a difficult recipe but store-bought absolutely sucks unless you're really lacing it.
I hear Nordic Gremlins love it.

Not so random after all.
Egg nog is Dairygold old fashioned classic.
Just got home from taking the boys (3 and 5) to get their Santa pics.
Just pulled out a frozen mug, added Nog and about a shot and a half of Seagrams brazillian Rum. Good stuff.
The fridge is working proper.
Why wouldn't you like egg nog?
It's got: Milk, eggs, vanilla, sugar......
What's wrong with you?

Where are you going with this?
That episode was with egg nog only, no rum.
Rum was added after "Santa" pics in the p.m. once I was home for the day.
I remember this happening once with an over stuffed frige, both wiff and I went to costco not knowing the other had. Also another time when someone put one of those rectangular fresh spinach containers not all the way in.
To those of you that don't like egg nog, consider calling it sweet milk. It worked for my three year old. He loves it! Egg nog as a name kinda sounds nasty. I'm thinking it's some kind of mental hitch.
Kinda like green eggs and ham.
The stuff is wonderful! Noggit.

Never seen this US sketch show before here in the UK, but this seems a potential solution to your fridge problem.

The weight you gained from thinking about drinking EggNogg caused the floorboards to twist, marginally distorting the doorframe of the 'fridge causing the door to spring open.
It's all about dynamic tension.

Whoa, what is wrong with Green Eggs and Ham? Why don't you like them, Sam I am?

Yeah, it's tilted back. I installed it 2 yrs ago. Pretty sure it was gremlins.

Recipe - for 30!
I found this on FoxNews this morning. Just in time for burial by snowfall right at Christmas. The weathermen say Northern Manysnodalot will get 10-14 inches and the storm is expected to run East and North so most of the country is to be again paralyzed.
How timely. I was heading to the store anyway before it gets cold here. What a bummer - all this time off and it's supposed to be too cold to ride in Central Texas.
With a little arithmetic you can down size this recipe to fit something more suitable for you household. I was think about 10-15 (after all it is four days). For a party of one that should be plenty. Enjoy!
