Refrigerator Etiquette

Unless you live alone, you probably share a refrigerator with one or  more persons.  That can be harmonious or it can be a challenge.  If all the refrigerator users in the house have the same refrigerator habits, it is all good.  However, usually one member of the house is very conscientious about the use of the fridge, while at least another one is, well,  trifling.
Refrigerator violations include:
Placing  uncapped containers holding liquids on the fridge shelves.  These containers always get knocked over and this makes a mess.
Leaving fruit in the refrigerator until it turns into something petrified, oozy, or unidentifiable. Yuck!
Letting  food grow fuzzy mold because it has been forgotten about.
Never refilling the ice trays.  Not everybody has their ice maker hooked up.
Never wiping up any spills.
Putting so many bottles in the inside door panels that the door has trouble closing due to the weight.
Putting fruit in the dairy section of the fridge.
Putting lettuce, carrots,and other veggies in the colder part of the fridge.
Putting cut, unwrapped onions in the drawer with the cheese and cold cuts.
Leaving the fridge door open for five minutes while you look in, trying to decide what you want out of it.

Violations or not, we all have to get along, so let us be kind to one another, and to our refrigerators.
I wish you and your fellow refrigerator sharers a harmonious kitchen existence!

TTYS,
Sylvia
