I think OP knows they can unscrew it.
That’s probably why it’s only ‘mildly’ infuriating.
The endless stream of repeated “unscrew it” comments is also mildly infuriating.
You mean mildly hilarious
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.
I imagined it was because they wanted to use the fridge as a battering ram to knock it out of the wall or simply rip it down with their bare hands but alas the studs won out.
This post is mildly infuriating. Unscrewing it is not even an “easy fix” it’s just plain and simple what you do.
Indeed. Everyone loves a pedant.
Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.
But it’s in the studs /s
Maybe it’s just tge perspective, but it looks like you could unscrew it, move the fridge in and then put it back in.
Probably can’t open the freezer with it in the way, or real close lol

so unscrew it. why is this such a huge problem?
Because screwdrivers are regulated, screwdriver licenses are hard to obtain, and while most people can do the clockwise thing, counterclockwise is a skill that takes years to master.
valid
It’s load bearing
load bearing spices actually sounds like a pretty slick band name
Because this is mildly infuriating not huge fucking problems?
I was just struck by ‘mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs’ like it’s been welded down. is that even mildly infuriating? pfft.
that’s an easy fix trust me I have so much mildly infuriating shit in my life
Unscrew it
Screw it
Bop It™️

Yeah, you can even screw it back on after!

"The previous owner of this condo screwed a spice rack into the studs. Now I can’t remove my broken refridgerator…
This is clearly a load bearing spice rack.
Yes, it’s mainly ground spices.
This implies the existence of air, sea, wall and ceiling spices
At least you can unscrew it. My landlord put the pipe for the Lüftung where the fridge is supposed to go.
Oh no, not the Lüftung again!
Ventilation, in German
I had a feeling (after Luft) - it just looked funny.
Attack of the Luftung! More at 11
Putting the oven right up against the fridge is the real problem here.
I have no idea what I’m doing. Please say what you mean.
I know it can lower the lifespan of the fridge, but unsure if there’s more than that!
Thanks I hadnt heard that
Yeah it can, it’s cause it makes the fridge have to do more work to keep the insides cool
No direct damage, but indirectly through making it work much harder for no reason
Seems extremely efficient to me.
Just screw it.
Start with some wine, maybe a back rub. Get it all relaxed and then just slide into it
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.
I rely on ratcheting screwdrivers because I won’t be assed over batteries.
If the battery for your impact driver (not drill, BTW) isn’t shared with a bunch of other tools from the same brand, you’re doing it wrong.
You know, that’s true actually - I retract my statement
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.
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.
Allspice racks mounted tomatoes would require your landlord to cumin to the kitchen to at least approve the modification.
Its mounted into TWO studs
Gotta do some pullups on this thing.
That must be where they placed the weight of their sins
This is more like /mildlyinconvenient.
I don’t see a difference
You don’t see a difference between mildly inconvenient and mildly infuriating? Oh god, are you my partner?
Which is more mild, and which is more spicy?
Just move the spice board to a different place?
