I have a few magnets (mostly bought while touring, including one from a prison gift shop) which hold such things as my local library’s hours, my credit union’s locations and hours, etc. Also a few chip-clips which sometimes get pressed into emergency duty to hold dentist appointments or jury duty summons.
The top holds bread, chips, tomatos, and a tin with matches in it. And dust.
I just have a calendar and a couple of magnets. One of the magnets is a kind of clip and I can hang my key ring on it so I do.
Well, I guess I’m immature as well, I’ve got magnets galore. Photos, school calendar, postcards, coupons, notepad, party invitations, etc. My front door is steel and has it’s own huge collection of poetry words, three or four different sets all mixed up together.
To each their own.
I keep on reading this thread topic as “Stuff in the fridge/no stuff in the fridge?” I can’t help but wonder who wouldn’t want a fully stocked fridge instead of an empty one. As to the OP’s actual question, my refridgerator is covered with goofy magnets including magnetic poetry and magnets that are actually spinning gears. They’re fun for the easily distracted. I don’t like non-magnet things on my fridge though. I’ll save A+'s for when I go home and then put them on my mom’s fridge. She’s lucky like that.
If one has food in the fridge, it makes it far more difficult to find the beer.
Dude, I didn’t say what the fridge was stocked with.
Good point. 
For years I’ve had a tea towel attached to my fridge. It’s been quite helpful, since it tells the reader how to spot evil at tea time (courtesy of www.scarygoround.com).
But the little girl started yanking at it when she learned to crawl, so into the cupboard it went. Obviously, the forces of evil won!
**MissMossie’s ** got Spingears on her fridge! I wondered where he went.
On our two refridgerator/freezers, (on opposite sides of the stove) we have a rather large collection of free magnets from local medical offices, restaurants, politicians and schools, some old family photos (one of me in 1992), senior pictures of cousins, random newspaper articles, more magnets (shaped like fruit, cooking utensils, Coke bottles, and Halloween things), a high school calendar, a list of days my college has off, two blank dry erase calendars, more magnets (approximately 12 clip magnets with Effexor pill sizes printed on them, and all but one are missing the clip), a dry blank dry erase board, another dry erase thing with a bird drawn on it and its labeled L’oiseau de Noel, my brother’s 2005 football practice schedule, my sister’s Senior trip information (which was in mid-April), some more magnets, (pictures of my brother or sister playing baseball, basketball, track or football), my brother’s 2006 football schedule, a get well card for my father, a small Christmas wreath, something called “The Ten Commandments of Manners”, a streak of yellow paint, a drawing my brother made when he was four (he is sixteen now). On top, there is a wax turkey candle, old film, one of the shelves from inside, a basket full of old pain relievers, and some old toys. On top of the other is some artwork from my brother when he was in 4th grade, some cookie sheets, various paperwork that no one needs, but hasn’t thrown away yet, and some of my father’s empty beer bottles.
Hmm…maybe someone should clean the refrigerators off.
I should mention that one is a refrigerator/freezer combo (with the freezer mostly empty,) and the other is a full size freezer.
We collect magnets - pretty and expensive ones. Which is why we nearly fainted when we found out our new fridge had a plastic front. We seriously considered exchanging it for another one. Now we just have them all along the side. 
The doors of my refrigerator are stainless steel, so magnets won’t stick, and I like it like that.
Blank surfaces are meant to be covered by things, so I’ve got lots of magnets. I like to think they are the classy kind (I’ve only got 3 advertising magnets). One is of a poster advertising the Titanic, one is of a mouse in a trap, and there are also various humorous magnets, including Alex from A Clockwork Orange saying “Got milk?” I’ve also got souvenir magnets from Yellowstone, Monterey CA, Zion Nat’l Park, and a truckstop in San Jon NM.
My aunt also has lots of magnets, some of which advertise local TV stations. Those magnets have the slogan “first warning” on them. This mystified me until I remembered that she lives in tornado country.
Oh, and I do not include the Titanic magnet as an advertising magnet, as last time I checked the Titanic was pretty much defunct.
We have stuff on our fridge too. A couple of picture frame magnets, both with pics of my husband’s goddaughter (she’s also his cousin). There is a painting she made for him for his birthday when she was about 3-4 (she’s now 6). We have two wine wheels (food and wine pairings, from the LCBO). There’s a school picture of my mom, from about 3 years ago (grade 1-2 teacher). A notepad and pen, for writing grocery lists, mostly. A couple of phone numbers and things that we need to periodically remember and don’t care to have to look up every time. The open hours of the Farmer’s Market.
And magnets. A Government of Canada magnet, some Millipore magnets that I got at work, one from the SPCA, a few from the LCBO advertising different wines, the number “34” stolen from a seat at Montreal’s Molson Centre 10 years ago, a pair of grumpy-looking egg shaped magnets and one from a florist and from the Stratford festival’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame”. That’s about it, really.
It’s easy to forget to look at a calendar, but I have to look at the fridge every morning. So that’s where all the kids’ homework and back to school stuff goes. It’s really astonishing how many little things we have to remember to do or send back every day. For example, this week each child’s class has a different thing they are doing for the teacher every day of Teacher appreciation week. So I have to remember to send a flower to Kid A’s class and a dollar to Kid B’s class today. Tomorrow it’s a chocolate bar with Kid A and something else with Kid B (see, I can’t even remember.) Plus there’s homework, church school schedule, book orders, permission slips, etc, etc. A master calendar is too much work. This way, things just get sent or tossed as they come due or are dealt with.
I have 40 or 50 advertizing magnets, and I used to form them into geometric shapes on the fridge. Then my cat Freckles discovered what fun it was to jump up and grab them and chase them under the stove.
Now all the magnets are confined to the top 8 inches of the fridge, and they’re all serious magnets that take some effort to pull down. There’s minor league baseball tix, schedules from various sports, and a few coupons for Grindstone Charley’s and Olive Garden.
A friend makes fishing lures. One year, I had him make me a couple dozen bluegill jigs intended to have an electromagnetic field around them. Each one had a sliver of fridge magnet inside the body, and the legs were made of teensy magnet wire from a dead relay. I sorta lost interest in fishing, and I really can’t tell you if they were any more attractive than the non-magnetic jigs.
Two magnets, both bought by the good lady wife in New York. One says “I know, I know, I’m fucking fabulous”, and the other says “I’m here about the blow job.”
Just one, for my mum: a magnet version of this.
And two of those little plastic-milk-bag cutter thingamajig bibbobs. What are they called?
