Yes, my fridge does the shimmy shake.
There is a logical reason for that.
The floor in my current apartment is very
uneven. I have no idea why. Maybe the ground under the building is sinking. And
it seems to be getting worse. A few months ago, I only felt the slope of the
floor under my feet. Now I can see
it.
Based on my current and past experiences,
sloping floors are annoying.
Every time the compressor hums, my
refrigerator shimmies closer to the stove. When it gets too close, I shove
it back where it belongs.
Once upon a time, in the nineties, we lived
in an apartment house that had an uneven floor. I figured that floor sloped
because the house had been built on a stone foundation in 1886. I was making a
lot of beaded jewelry then. I worked on the kitchen table, and every time I
dropped a bead, it rolled under the fridge or stove and was lost forever. Well,
until we moved out, and someone had to pull out the fridge and stove to clean
behind them.
The
cleaning crew must have discovered quite a stash back there. I hope someone was
able use those beads.
