Obsessed With the Fridge
81% Normal
43 Comments

Almost eight times every hour I will go to my fridge when I'm hungry, open it, and stare at it for five minutes. I eventually give up my searching and I go back downstairs to my computer. It's like I think that if I try again in the next ten minutes the fridge will be restocked or something.
Do you think it's normal?

I do that too!!
I just stand there with the fridge door open, looking at whats in it but dont actually get anything.
Then I come back later and do the same thing again. Hahaha, it's perfectly normal in my opinion :)

Thats so weird I did that just before I looked on your post. I also go to do something and then forget what i'm doing...

Sometimes I'll go to take a plate out to the kitchen and end up sitting on my bed with it still in my hand thinking, what am i doing? lol

Once I thought I lost my phone and I was actually on the phone to someone, as you can expect they found it hilarious whilst on the other end I was going "s*** its a new I - phone and I've lost it already!"

Completely normal, I'll take it you do it most when you're tired?

Just sleep more

its like when you eat the last of something and you come back knowing its all gone and hoping to see something at least similar to it
Comment Hidden (show)
What? Why would you think that? Unless you have a lazy gremlin that does your grocery shopping for you and you're waiting for him to get up from his a** and bring you some food so you check every 10 mins to see if he did it already.

I'm exactly the same way. My family doesn't have a very good habit of restocking our fridge. So I go back every time I remember I'm hungry and all I find is chocolate, which somehow is the only thing my parents will consistently buy....
Comment Hidden (show)
I do that too, then i go to the pantry then the cupboard and then when i get bored later i repeat the process again
Comment Hidden (show)
lol i do that all the time, and i forget why im standing here for lmao :P
Comment Hidden (show)
Haha! That seriously made me laugh out loud. I do that too. All the time. I just open, stare, close it and go away again only to repeat.
Comment Hidden (show)
well i gotta say this way normal
me and my bro do the same not exactly 5 mins or more but surely for 1min

its like we think suddenly some good chocolate would just apparate or some pastry or anything i can imagine...
damn!
its an obsession
fruitless one
Comment Hidden (show)
lol, I do that all the time, except with EVERY cupboard in the house, thinking there will be something GOOD to eat inside :P
Comment Hidden (show)
Yeah I think most people do this tbh, I do it over and over again before I even realise I'm doing it, I also do the same thing looking in cupboards.
Comment Hidden (show)
OMG OMG!!!! i do the same freakin thing and its like weird cuz i do it again in the next 10 minutes like i will have new food in there or something haha my routine is get up then i open the fridge and stand there scratching my stomache then walk away lol then start all ovver again its freaky
Comment Hidden (show)
LOL this is funny and I do it too! It always feels like the fridge will restock itself..lol. Then again, you never know, maybe it will. o__O JK. Who knows during that 10 minutes your mom might come back from shopping and fill it up for you. That would be cool.

Has your mother ever told you "nothing new has grown in the fridge since you last checked"?

EAT when you are hungry.. no other reason.
Never get "full"
Eat what you WANT... your body WANTS that.. and if you don't give it to it, then maybe it has to eat 10x of the other crap just to make up for you not wanting to be a fat kid cause you ate 2 oz of chocolate.
Drink instead of eating.. your mind has a hard time telling the difference of hunger and thirst.

This is what I do, and I'm not a heath freak but I look darn good.

happens to me as well, eventually I force myself to stop

That's when your mouth is hungry but your stomach isn't.
Comment Hidden (show)
Yeah or when you want to switch it up with some variety and end up always settling for the same old thing...
Comment Hidden (show)
Haha i do that.. sometimes my mum comes home from the shops and i find the food on my 5th journey, it makes me do the same thing the next day..
Comment Hidden (show)
so normal. especially if your over wieght like me. but sometimes i just enjoy a cool burst of air from the fridge/freezer.
Comment Hidden (show)
Yeah man, I've been like this my entire life.
I typically stare at the contents for minutes at a time. After realising that the only thing to eat is a carrot I reluctantly mope back to the computer, only to return to the fridge 10 minutes later just in case I missed something.
When I was younger my mum actually stuck a photo of the inside of the fridge, on the fridge so I didn't need to keep opening the door. It never worked.

I do that when I get really really bored.

I just did the exact same thing lol

That same thing happens to me

Go grocery shopping. Then it will be restocked, and you will have food.
Good luck on foraging in the future.

omg i do the same exact thing maybe not 8 times an hour but i soooo do it isnt it funny?
Comment Hidden (show)
I don;t really do that, but my cousins do. All three of them sit and stare at the refrigerator for like 10 minutes. I mean, I'll come back and expect it to be full again... but I don't stare for 5 minutes. You are normal though.
Comment Hidden (show)
hahahahahaha this is so funny because I do the same thing. I KNOW nothing is in there, and half the time I'm not even hungry (more like bored), but it's as if going back and opening the fridge again something will just magically appear. Yes I'd say it is normal.

Next time you feel like going to the fridge, pick up a basketball and play a game with your imaginary friend.
Comment Hidden (show)
I have done that all my life. When I was a kid my mom used to yell at me and said it wasn't a tv and shut the door.
Comment Hidden (show)
Hahaha yep I use to do this too... When I'm board I do it to when there is nothing to eat I'll look in the fridge... But I have stopped it a lot now because I HATE the fridge we have here at this new place. You have to get like a crow bar to open that shit.
