Well this was embarrassing to me...
I was about 16 or 17 and was flatting / boarding with this lady who was 27 and her two kids who were around 5 and 7. I was digging around in the freezer for some ice-cream or something and she was making cookies or whatever. It took me ages to find the ice-cream. I took it out and got some. I tried to open the freezer door to put it back. And I tried and I tried and I tried. And the damned door wouldn't open. And I couldn't quite believe it so I tried a bit more. And then I was like 'xxx the door appears to be stuck'. And she was kinda distracted but she glanced over and said 'give it a minute'. And I was like 'What? I can't get the door open'. And she looked at me strangely and was like 'yeah, just wait a minute'.
Apparantly there is some kind of seal on freezers. Don't know if they intentionally make 'em that way or whether it is to do with the air pressure. When the inside of the freezer starts to warm up ('cause the door has been open too long) then the door won't open until the inner temerature drops.
That was kinda embarrassing...
