I think OP knows they can unscrew it.

That's probably why it's only 'mildly' infuriating.

    I dunno, it’s kinda weird that they mention it’s “into the studs” as if it makes it a load-bearing spice rack. Just a weirdly irrelevant thing to say, makes me suspicious that OP thinks anything screwed into studs has to stay there forever or the house falls down.

    Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.

    At least you can unscrew it. My landlord put the pipe for the Lüftung where the fridge is supposed to go.

    Putting the oven right up against the fridge is the real problem here. Look at where the hood is.

    When I bought my home, the fridge had a big ol burn spot on the side of it from the stove being right next to it lol. That’s probably what people may be referring to. I never use those two burners because of that despite getting a new stove and fridge since moving in just seeing that. Also the refrigerator sides will naturally get hot/warm as they expel heat from normal operations, so putting it next to something that is hot can be somewhat counterproductive for that too. Not going to cause it to overheat, but may not be the best position if you can help it. Kind of like how you wouldn’t want to put a heater positioned near your gaming PC if you want the best possible performance.

    I know it can lower the lifespan of the fridge,, but unsure if there's more than that!

    Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it, snap it, work it, quick, erase it Write it, cut it, paste it, save it, load it, check it, quick, rewrite it Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, drag it, drop it, zip, unzip it

    This is clearly a load bearing spice rack.

    Step 1: Re-hinge the fridge doors so they open the other way.

    Step 2: Back the fridge into the corner first, then pivot to the right until seated.

    You can tell by the cabinetry, they had a fridge in there already, possibly one taller than this.

    Just screw it.

    Start with some wine, maybe a back rub. Get it all relaxed and then just slide into it

    What are they cooking with they need to put that into a stud? Was it common for them to set their tungsten rolling pin atop and then hang their lead apron from the edge? Did they have a recipe that calls for a pinch of neutron star?

    Mounting your spice rack to the studs is just sage advice. Otherwise, you're putting the structural integrity at risk, and if that fails, you're in for a bad thyme. Trust me, this happened to me once. There was still paprika in my grout when I moved out. And to add salt to the wound, the landlord made me pay for the damage.

    I mean, just unscrew the screws?

    I dunno man. Sounds mildly infuriating to have to go get a screwdriver, come back and try unscrewing it only to realize you need a power tool because it is in the studs. Go get the drill, damnit battery is dead. Damnit extra battery is dead because I hardly use this damn thing.

    And the fridge is just a hair too tall to slide under the vent hood, so you can’t even go around it.

    There’s so many things that are mildly infuriating here. And taken all together…. Still mildly infuriating.

    Quality post. I’m gonna kick back and be grateful I don’t have any appliances to move in my near future.

    Just tilt the fridge backwards before moving it in.

    WTF. Even if the previous occupants had a short fridge, who wants a spice rack over the fridge. Just bizarre

    Just move the spice board to a different place?

    Stove doesn’t have 1.5ft clearance on either side, not up to code

    I’m proud of you for only being mildly infuriated. I would smash it with a fucking hammer.

    Or you could unscrew the fucking thing and move it somewhere else, but I'll let you sort that out with your anger management therapist.

    If you slid the left side of the fridge in first, it would fit fine.

    And then just never open the freezer door I guess

    Nah it would still be occupying the same space as the fridge

    The floor is really ugly right there but the fridge can go in a different spot. I already have enough drywall work

    But why can't you just remove it? It being mounted into the studs isn't any different than any other spot, it's just more secure.

    I wouldn't be tackling drywall work if I were him. Figuring out how to turn screws has completely halted this fridge operation.

    The only thing mildly infuriating about this post is knowing that fridge would fit. So, I guess, good job! I'm now mildly infuriated.
