Treasures behind that little door
I used to be referred to “that-weird-friend-of-yours-who’s-obsessive-with-our-fridge”. By my friend’s mom, no less. I certainly didn’t amuse her so much. I am sure she secretly cringed every time I set foot into that humble abode of hers. “Hi amy!” (Mom: start of a state of shock, urge to protect fridge citizens, fridge citizens tremble in the fear of an unknown fate). Bad manners rule. Fridge raiders prevail.
There should be a movie made about me, the fridge raider. There are certainly a huge number of us out there, which makes it the more dangerous to parents (bread winners) all over the world. Lara Croft only terrorizes a selected few rich snobs with expensive gears. We (with yours truly as the leader of the pack) are capable of creating mass destruction to a larger scale and extent though the job seems simple and harmless (almost).
I should spell it capitalized: Fridge Raider. Sounds important. No, this is not made-up. Ask her. Verify facts at Fridge-raid victim.
The horrors.. brrrr…
I am afraid of dinner table raiders! Yes, I am. Fear is strongest when really delicious dishes are on the menu for the day. They are much worse than fridge raiders, seriously.
I always imagine a fridge to be likened to Santa’s sack, holding many goodies hidden out of sight. There are always many surprises, behind that door.
I still have a nasty habit of checking out my OWN fridge every 30 minutes when I am home. Why? No idea. This time, curiosity is definitely not the culprit.
Psychosis. Nervous energy. Or maybe a form of Fridge Raider suppressed memories? It’s definitely trying to come out and play.
Another possibility of a new job: Personal Fridge Stylist. I customize and configure your fridges according to the image that you want to conjure to the public and friends. You want to be posh? Appear to be up market without trying too hard as to appeal with all your acquaintances from differing backgrounds? Worldly? Slim without appearing anorexic? Bimbo-ish? Plastic? It takes years and years of raiding to come out with such info and database.
Hollywood needs me. So do you.

Ugh...you don't WANT to see the inside of my fridge.
It's downright scary in there.

roachz is....Raiders of the Lost Fridge. that post was awesome, i love it. i love your fridge stylist idea, you would sooo rock. how about a glass fridge, so you could see whats inside. you are right, the world does need you. how much would you charge to come here, raid my fridge, then re-style it?

At your service. Please provide first class air tickets, 6-star hotel room and a chauffeur. I only work 4 to 6 hours most on weekdays (strictly NO working on weekends). Styling fees negotiable.

aaaah, my fridge it seems is the topic of choice for my dear friend...i shall have no comments, other than i have changed to a bigger fridge, and i have also moved (far far away) - possibly to thwart the efforts of the fridge raider (F.R). you see, you cannot escape, and you have damned yourself by unwittingly inviting the F.R into your home.
The anguish cries of "where's my kit-kat?" and "my LEMONS!!" are bound to fill the air, and as you wring your hands in despair at your loss - minor as it may be - you feel as though the F.R has robbed you of your convenience as you now need to trudge to the store to get more things to stock up.....for when she stops by the next time, sacrifices need to be made to appease The Hungry One.
So make sure your fridge has that piece of candy, that smidgen of cake or a dollop of chocolate for the F.R, or you can hope to hear these wonderful words coming from her mouth "No thanks, I'm full..*burp*"

Announcement: Don't worry, that was not censorship. Fridge-raid victim has mistakenly posted 3 comments simultaneously.
I can understand the trauma that she went through (you need a psychiatrist?)

hehe, thanks for doing that, something went bust on my com..this fridge-raider victim DOES not need psychiatric help, but the fridge raider might need to think about seeing a doctor for broken teeth if as so much as her shadow reaches my beloved fridge.
