The one that is awarded to men who distinguish themselves in stupidity. I have officially been humiliated. The freezer door on my two year old refrigerator freezer began to open by itself yesterday. It had a weak seal for a few days but I really hoped it was not going on the fritz.
So when my wife began to find it open I checked it out. The seal looked as though it were stretched but still holding. I kept hearing about that being the weak point so I was willing to accept it even though it looked fine. Except that it was a little stretched looking on the door end it looked like new.
So I cleaned it ect but nothing helped. I tied a bungee cord on it to keep tension on it and it seemed fine. Take the cord off and it worked it's way open. I rearranged the contents but it did no good.
So I broke down and called a repairman. he came in, removed the ice bucket, shut the door. It was just fine immediately. The seal was tight and everything. I was shocked since that same ice bucket had been in the frig since it was new. There was however a big lump of ice I had never seen behind it. The lump kept growing for the last two years until it reached the point that the box was pushing against the door. It happened over such a long period of time I never noticed. That's my excuse and I'm planning to stay with that one till I die.
Oh yeah he charged $50 to humiliate me. For that kind of money I expected a blonde in a nazi ss uniform. So where is my plaque for the dumb *** of the year award.
