Was the freezer door opened by something that was alive?
What kind of freezer? Was it part of a refrigerator? Standup freezer? Chest Freezer?
Yes.
The kind at the top of a refrigerator.
Had you put the something alive into the freezer?
Did you know when you went to bed that the something alive was in the freezer?
Did the something alive get into the freezer on its own during the night?
If the latter, was this something that you knew could happen?
Yes.
Yes.
No, and not applicable.
Did you expect the something alive to be able to get itself out of the freezer? Did you expect it to do so leaving the door open behind it?
I hadn’t really thought about the possibility. I suppose that counts as not expecting it.
Was the living thing a lobster?
So you deliberately shut something alive into the freezer without thinking about whether it could get back out.
Were you trying to kill it?
Did you think it could survive in there?
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
And man, I hope someone solves this soon, because right now, it’s making me look pretty weird.
Was this something that shouldn’t have been in the house in the first place?
If so, were you just trying to contain it until you could deal with it in some kind of proper way?
Large spider? Rat? Bat? Evil severed hand?
Was the “something alive” yeast? Frozen dough that thawed and started to rise?
Ding ding ding! I had frozen bread dough in the freezer, and after a couple of days of the power being off, it thawed out and rose enough to push the door open and plop out onto the floor.
And @Gyrate, don’t be silly. Everyone knows you keep your evil severed hand under the floorboards, not in the freezer.
Oh, and in case anyone is still stuck on the “unconcerned” part, I was and am concerned about having to throw away ruined food. I just wasn’t concerned by the freezer door being opened, because by the point that happened, the food was all ruined anyway.
Very good one!
I’d been trying to think what was large enough to push a freezer door open but could still survive maybe 8 hours of cold temperatures and very limited air supply; but I was forgetting all about the strength of micro-organisms when en masse.
– I misread your answer about not being concerned because the food had already thawed; but going back to look at it you gave me a fair answer, I just misunderstood and thought you were saying that that wasn’t wny you weren’t concerned.
In order to cool down on a hot afternoon, Nancy sits on a rock below a large shade tree. She is shocked when the tree moves away from her, leaving her out in the sun again. Why does the tree move away from Nancy?
Well according to Einstein the tree moving and the rock moving are effectively the same thing, but is it actually the rock moving?
Was the tree planted in the ground?
Yes
