... seemingly indicative of something prolly greater, but i continue, day after day, to go to the refrigerator - open the door - and stare in, not really looking for anything specific, rattling through what might still be lingering in there, then shutting the door confused...
now i realize i must not be the only one doing this strange ritual, and so though the topic is an easy one to make fun of, i am looking for someone solid
suggestions as to maybe why i/we do this , and then how to stopthanks for the therapy

yeah I do that sometimes.. once I put the kettle in the fridge too

Maybe its because you dont want to eat any of the stuff that is in there?

i do that when I'm very very distracted or tired.
in the morning when i do pancakes. after making the home made mix. i put the milk in the cupboard, flour in the fridge and eggs in the sink.

stress-related.
i space off all the time...embarrassing when i'm in the middle of a conversation with the boss.

oh man! I do that all of the time. Walk up to it, open it, glance in, pause, close it and then leave. Its wierd.

it's cuz we're haunted.. it's a necessary ritual we unconsciously repeat..
me too.

thats definately boredom....
I used to do that when I was at Uni. U know how it is.. - 5 hours of classes a week etc etc.. it gets kinda boring sometimes.. so u just go to the fridge because eating relieves boredom (for a short while) ... and ur prob not that hungry when u go there.. so unless there's nothing nice n tasty n easy to eat.. u just stare... atr ur boring fridge...
So...
what to do eh?
Well. .. Either visit the supermarket and get loads of toffee flavoured yoghurt, some blue cheese and a pack of diogestive biscuits (good combo btw)...
Or...
Get a hobby.. everybody has to have a hobby... m aybe you could start collecting photos of other peoples fridges??

the fridge is the first place i usually look when something is lost...my phone, stereo remote, the cat...usually because when im standing there in front of the open door with the muchies ive got a one track mind. and ive got to put the cat down to pick up the cheese...

What I do alot is, let's say I'm holding two things, like a phone and a banana. I'll try to hang up the banana and start peeling the phone.

Go to Carls Jr. . I think they have a commercial with your scenario. Youre their target market. Also maybe you want to just buy a wife through a service. I did. "Svedlana does all my cooking and cleaning and she doesnt mind sleeping in the closet like I tell her. That bitch cleans my house like a mother fucker too.

i got a 'wakewalking' (as opposed to sleepwalking) experience as well... i do that fridge thing for more often than i care to remember; sometimes take a spoon to eat noodles; used a pencil when i really wanted a pen; put on weekend track shoes when in work attire.
it happens most often when i'm distracted, esp cos' i'm often in deep thoughts.
basically for myself if i sleep enough and go easy on the caffeine i don't do those things much.
heck. NT surfing kept me up till 4am last night.

Maybe it's because you're not really hungry but restless?
I know when i'm feeling restless I often think, "Oh... I'll eat something." It's the American way.
