Refrigerator Rights

How many friends do you know so well, that they could come into your home and feel free to anything in your fridge without asking permission from you?
Our newspaper has partnered with the National Institute of Wellness here in Stevens Point and this is one topic that a Speaker talked about.
Just curious if you have any friends you trust so well and trust you in kind?

I am thinking that that is a "Texas thing". Anyone I welcome into my home, is welcome in my home...to the fridge, the bar, to stay the night..hell, just about everything. I believe we call that Southern Hospitality.

I know the thing you refer to DD.
Anyone who is in my home home more than once knows where the fridge is, where the glasses are, etc. ....help yourself.

It's a rather interesting facter, and I think it all depends on region, and norms. But the message remains, who do hold ongoing relationships with who have such "rights"?

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Only 3 people and their families could be considered as having "refrigerator rights" around here. And I consider myself very lucky. Some people know no one they would grant "refrigerator rights". I read recently (somewhere) that most of us are only two or three people away from being alone in the world.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Actually, it is just that I am a lazy S.O.B. I will serve you ONCE, watch where I get things from, cuz then it is up to YOU to get what you want!
There is the fridge, there are the glasses and plates, and there is the silverware .. Anything you don't know where it is at, LOOK FOR IT!!!

I'm with DD and Jean on the southern hospitality.
My door is NEVER locked and if it's in the fridge- you're welcome to it -- just bring me a cold one too....
Around my house we use the "Bible System" - Seek and You Shall Find -- if not we'll both look for it.....
And I may bring you coffee (once) but for the second cup - you're on your own --
Hugs BD

Only my x2 and my kids have access to my home without prior permission... Most everyone else gets shot on sight . Except my parents... I normally give them a runnin' start. But once someone has been invited in, I can care less if they get in my fridge... As long as they don't drink all the beer, I'm fine with it.

Ditto...
here in my part of the desert, it's:
mi casa es su casa.
My home is your home.
While you're in the fridge... can you find the smelly thing and get rid of it, please?

Being from West Texas it's the same for me, you're in my house - you're family!
I'd be hurt beyond measure if my friends weren't comfortable enough to help themselves. For me, the greatest compliment you can give me is to do just that

It's a small town thing, I guess and a bit regional.
For me, I have three friends that are welcome to prowl around in my refrigerator all they want and are welcome to anything there that is too weak to fight back. I have some rainbow-colored pudding and remains of jelly and some kind of sauce that keep things interesting. 
None of these friends would go in there without asking though which is too bad because like Chuck, I'm tired of waiting on one of them.

I never understood the "I have this, this, this, diet this, this lite, this, this, and I can make some of this, this or this." so everyone has fridge rights when they visit me.
You can have anything you want, just go get it yourself. And if I look low bring back one for me!
