1. over 3 years ago on Pickles

   Interesting problem. Our fridge has a bottom freezer, so the only person with any problem is my wife, who is shorter.

   Here is a suggestion for a future Pickles. If the doorbell dings or the phone rings, my wife never seems to hear it, and I have to run upstairs from my den to answer.

   But if sneak over to the freezer, and open it as quietly as I can, just the quietest sound of the springs stretching are enough for her to shout downstairs “If you are getting ice cream, bring me some.” Nothing, not WD40 nor silicon spray has eliminated that sound.

   I call it female selective deafness. This also might explain why she never hears what I have to say. (Note, we just celebrated forty-three years of marriage. Mind you, if I had committed murder in 1978, I would have been out on parole, several decades ago.)
