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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I’d notice it because of muscle memory. Then get puzzled for five seconds, and then think “ah! So that’s what’s happening…”

    As long as the person undoes the swap afterwards I’d just find it fun.

    I’d definitely notice, mine is less than a year old so I still remember thinking about which side I wanted the refrigerator to open towards.

    Plus right now it opens facing the rest of the kitchen area/counter and that works for me. If that suddenly got reversed it’d be a noticeable and annoying change.

    I forget which way my fridge is supposed to open at the best of times, so I probably wouldn’t even notice.

    Yes I would notice, yes I would be confused, yes I would be mad. My fridge stands against a wall on one side and would become basically impossible to access.

    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.
