Would you be confused? Would you be mad? Would you even care?

LOL, I’d never do this, but it seems harmless silly enough…

    Mines against the wall on one side, it would be really inconvenient. But I do always appreciate a good practical joke so I’d laugh.

    Good pranks should not require significant work to undo.

    It’s funny, but a dick move.

    I’d probably be concerned (and annoyed) that some unknown person violated my privacy to break into my home… just to fuck with my fridge???

    That being said, if I knew who did it because of a long-standing tradition of mutual harmless pranks, or something, I’d probably be amused. But still a little bit annoyed.

    Oh yeah. My fridge is in the corner, and my kitchen isn’t that large. Swapping the door would make it nearly impossible to use.

    given I have french doors it would be very noticable and I think impossible. swapping the doors might work but they are identical to befin with.

    I’d notice immediately since it would become annoying to use by a lot. I’m unsure if I’d known how to fix easily, or if it required a second able bodied person.

    “Hello guy who mows the lawn for us, can you change how the fridge door opens? Someone broke in and changed it. Yes, I’m going to therapy, don’t worry, if I’m crazy it’ll be okay.”

    Hmmm he might not help with that message lmao

      A second person would help a lot, but not be entirely necessary. They are designed to be swappable

    Yes, I would notice, and yes, I would be really fucking annoyed. I swapped the fridge door to the way it is so that I can turn from my stovetop and open it with my dominant hand. Fittings were worn and I barely made it work without running something, so changing it for the prank and then again to correct it would probably damage it for good.

      Fine, we’ll just flip the doors upside down on yours. /s

      LOL, again I’d never actually do that in the first place, but it’s still a funny thought.

    Mine are side-by-side, as another commenter mentioned, so yeah. That would be really weird.

    I would notice if my washer and dryer got their doors reversed. I never considered it before (first time buying new appliances) but you choose the orientation based on where the walls are.

    I imagine with a refrigerator, the same is true. Based on the kitchen layout, one orientation would be vastly more convenient than the other.

    Great prank, I’d definitely notice… after trying to open the wrong side twice.

    Another one: Replace all the bath towels with similar, smaller towels.

      Replace all the bath towels with similar, smaller towels.

      do this over a longer period of time. constantly making them a tiny bit smaller
