Most, if not all, refridgerators, have a light that goes on when the door is open. It sort of lets you know if the door is slightly ajar, leaking all the cold air out. However, it doesn't work very well, especially during the day.
I've come home numerous times to find the food and liquids slightly
cool because the door was somewhat open.
I propose a small squeaking noise that the refridgerator makes when the door is open. Not something that would be annoying, but enough to let you know that the door is open. That way, you can deal with it when you are actually getting food out, and then when you turn away, you still notice the squeaking. You then know to shut the door completely.

You could keep mice in there. They don't squeak if it gets really cold. |

"Your door is a jar. Your door has a jar. Your door is full of jars. Your door is freaking overflowing with jars. The jars are preventing your door from shutting. You really are a slob and your door is a jar." |

|
"Did the fridge just say something?" |
|
|
"Something about your door being open, I think." |

[NTSS], you beat me to it. |

|
//a small squeaking noise//, //not annoying//, see that looses my bun right there. This should be a long drawn Vincent Price style horror movie sqeak with a capitol squ! |

[lawpoop] Your fridge is not level. The front feet should be adjustable, crank them a bit longer, and your problem should go away. |

I don't think you really 'get' the halfbakery. |
|
|
Also, if some item jutting out is stopping the door from closing all the way, this squeaking would help. |

It is, Ling, it is.

thanks, [threef], future users would wonder about my fidget remark. |
|
|
I already was... [wonders why crossword is
not proceeding as well as expected.] |
|
|
I adore the thought of a kitchen appliance or any gadget actually that fidgets when it needs attention. |
|
|
[philsh] I didn't mean to insult Galbinus, but I always thought that the half-bakery leaned towards Rube Goldberg-type solutions. His answer to my refridgerator door sounds rather baked, I'm afraid. |
|
|
And the 10 seconds is a good idea. |
|
|
With the ten-second delay, the squeaking and whining would also remind me to stop staring absently at the food and just choose something and close the door. |
