>Do refrigerator door handles make her crazy? No, why should they?
>If she has a computer, does she share it with righties who insist on switching the mouse around? I have a computer, and it's an older one. I use it for working around the house mostly. I do my budget on it, I write letters to friends on it, I play some games mom bought me as a kid. It doesn't have a mouse, though, and it's not as fancy as the one Jenn uses. Jenn tells me, though, that her mother is right handed, but uses the mouse with her left hand. How strange is that?
The thing I've noticed with refrigerators is that they're generally designed to open with right-handed people in mind ... your natural inclination is to reach with the left hand to open it, but the swing of the door goes the opposite direction. Steve's old fridge did not have an open handle on it (meaning, you couldn't wrap your hand around the handle to grab it, but had to pull on a raised horizontal handle that was bolted to the door) and it swung to the right ... I had the hardest time with it. I'd constantly go to open it with my left hand but it just didn't work out until I remembered to use my right hand, but since my right hand's not as strong as my left I had some difficulty opening it. We finally got a new fridge ... one with an open handle that I can come to terms with ... So I was wondering if you ran into the same sort of thing at home.
All my refridgerators have been open handled, and I've really not had any problems with them...but I've never known any other kind. of refridgerator.
In my own life, the opened handled fridges are all I've ever had - until I just moved back home, and it has one of those bolted strips. I can see where they'd suck. :) But I'm willing to forgive it because it makes crushed ice. :)

Wow, that was fun? Can I do it again?
