I have a lovely fridge in a nice newly remodeled apartment. However, the owners deemed we old folks are too forgetful to close the fridge door so it closes on my head. Literally, if I don't pull my head out fast enough, sometimes hitting it on the freezer handle, it closes on me.
Today was the last day.
I filled a 1 liter bottle with water and tested it to make sure there was enough weight to stop the door. Check.
Then I found it was a bit ugly so I went to cover it, temporarily till I have time to paint it or crochet something to cover it, with a wine gift bag. Then I made sure the pantry door would open without having to move it. Check and check.
Now I have time to get my food out and back in before I am trying to back up in time to clear the door.
N-JOY!

Great idea! I too am older & renting & as with you the fridge starts closing before I can get anything in or out. Putting groceries away is a real pain. I'll be using this idea...thanks Sandi!!
You are very welcome. If I can save just one head, it's worth it!!
The refrigerator door has closed on my head for the last time. This is a great idea. I have also considered moving the fridge out and putting a piece of wood under the rear legs in order to lift up the rear of the fridge and use gravity to keep the door from closing once it opens.
