My shitty fridge from decades ago has never had a problem with the door being open. I say this is clearly a design issue. I open my fridge, let go and step away. It closes slowly and seals. Unless I jam it full of crap being left open isn't an option.

My clothes washer and dryer make a sound so I am also instantly notified when it is done. Also, washing/drying are not time sensitive like that. I call bullshit on your smart appliance needs.

  • Egocentric bias - the tendency to focus excessively on one's own perspective, leading to a distorted view of reality where individuals overestimate their own importance and fail to adequately consider others' viewpoints. This cognitive bias affects how people recall events and interpret situations, often making them see themselves as the center of attention.

    LOL! You actually believe all fridges work exactly like yours? You believe everyone's laundry is installed within hearing range exactly like yours? Some people even have washers & dryers without audio alerts. The laundry notifications allow us to get 6+ loads done in 1 day rather than 2.

    There are millions of households in just the U.S. and nearly every single household is very different than yours. You need to get out more and stop admiring your own navel.

    My fridge has a small door in its door so I can exchange less air with its outside if I only need to pull out something that’s on one of door’s shelves. The downside is that unlike the main door (which does auto close) it needs me to push it firmly to close.
