lol.....I can't count how many people have refrigerator rights at my place....Marilyn got a call at work one day last summer...it was her girlfriends asking where we kept our blender. When she asked why, they said because we're over using your pool and want to make margaritas!!!

Nobody who lives outside these doors has refrigerator rights. The tabernacle is a sacred place only the worthy may feast from.

That being said... I think I could dive into 4 or 5 other people's refrigerators without asking.

I can name ten people without thinking that have fridge rights at my place. However, being a single guy, my fridge contains bacon, pickles, milk, eggs, and Miller High Life. So there isn't much demand.

These same people know where the key is, and may enter without knocking, but I take no responsibility for what they may witness if they do.

Love the single guy fridge...when I was single I had mustard, butter, cookie dough and beer....

I can think of at least 10 people that have "Fridge Rights" at my house.

Have several friends who have refrigerator rights, (that is if they can get around my three teenagers asses who are usually hanging out of it while the other end consumes mass quantities.) Actually in my neighborhood, there are several of us that don't knock and feel free to enter each others house for supplies even when the owner isn't home. They're all Parrotheads, too.

At my house, I'll get you your first beer. After that, you know where the fridge is. Just make sure you get me one, too.

Fridge rights are a thing in the past for us because I don't want people's potentially gluteny hands touching all the food.

Because of that, though, I have become the most excellent hostess.

That's great, but I can't imagine!

This thread is an eye-opener for me. I guess I have boundaries.

I was brought up to NEVER go in someone else's fridge, and I would be shocked if someone in my house opened my fridge, unless I was having a party and they were helping.

Edit: At my brothers' homes, I help myself to the fridge, and they do at mine. I have five brothers, so I guess I meet my quota, plus Mom makes six.

If anyone gets invited into my house, they automatically have refrigerator rights (and anything else here).
Because nobody gets invited into my house until I'm that comfortable with them.

That being said, I can't think of anyone here who I WOULDN'T invite into my house.

Either something at Applebee's or Chili's.
(I'm working tonight & will have to eat on the road).
(But come on over anyway-I hate to eat alone).

No Parrot and I stock the fridge, me with groceries, him with beer.

Our youngest daughter and her husband have keys to the house and the run of the fridge--they mostly live at our house (due to being students)

. They are great at shopping for pie and bagels.
Our eldest daughter has a key to the house and occasionally makes contributions (deposits) to the fridge, or withdrawals, especially when her kids get hungry or thirsty at our house. Her husband would probably not look in the fridge unless invited.
When the other 2 kids are "home" and staying with us, they know how to stock and raid the fridge, and usually have a house key "for the duration" of the visit.
My husband's work colleague, who is also a neighbour, often makes deposits and withdrawals in our fridge (and garden), which is easy, since she has a house key, too. Sometimes she even cooks for us!
The cleaning lady just uses her key to come in and clean, and only opens the fridge to put things away and, once in a while, to clean it.

One of these days.... I'll give you enough notice.

first off I thought Wayne was having more appliance problems. first the beeping microwave that won't shut-up...now the frig that wants equal rights!!!

I pretty much never have anyone over...conditions being what they are...ok, so I don't clean and I don't host and I rarely offer....so there!

But when I do have someone over, I'd bet they could look...but you should probably ask before eating or drinking anything from my frig....lord knows how long it's been in there....not that bad, but if there's food, it's probably old. my kids or I would have eaten it by now if it was worth anything.

Not necessary to give notice.
Just show up. Anytime.

I can only think of 4 people outside of family that have 'fridge rights at my house. Does that mean I am lacking some fundamental social skill?

TropicalTroubador · Post by **TropicalTroubador** » October 14, 2008 4:48 pm

As a single guy, I *have* occasionally had all four food groups in my fridge - junk, fast, frozen, and spoiled.

I do try to cull the more interesting specimens before they evolve sufficiently to develop language skills.

I have to tell you, this is the funniest thread I have seen in awhile.

My freezer when I was single had two things in there-ice and frozen pizzas. Wait frozen vodka was also in there-three things
