Ever since i was a little kid, I had liked to sit in the refrigerator. I first started doing this when i was four, but then I started to do this again when i was 13. My parents thought it was a little weird that I did this but they did let me sit in the fridge for just a little while til the freezer got a little warm. Since we moved to the west coast we have a different refrigerator and i can't sit in it. However there is a Costco in my city and they have a big freezer that people like to shop in that when my mom and I go to Costco, I head straight to the Freezer and find a place to sit on a beam that right next to the door so I don't get in people's way and browse the net on my smartphone. This makes me feel comfortable and pleasant but when it gets a little cold for me I step out and warm myself up a little bit and then head back in until my mom calls me to head to the door.

Does anybody like to do this? Or do something similar to this? I've have always wondered sometimes if someone did something like I did, or like it?

At first I thought you meant home refrigerators and I was thinking how do you fit in there. Then I realized you meant in the stores.

No I never sat in them but I used to like opening them and closing them and feeling the cool air when it be hot out. I don't do that anymore because I know it's bad for the food and I only open them when I am getting something.

I guess this would kinda like be those human polar bears. They strip off their clothes and go bathing in a lake in the dead of winter. Yikes! My balls would fly up into my chest if I did that. 8O

I like coldness like that - the comfortable level of coldness - "indoor" coldness. Places like the costco walk in refrigerators.

What I don't like at all, is "outdoor" coldness. Where I live, in the winter, it can reach -40 degrees (which is the same temperature, Fahrenheit or Celsius), without wind chill. It feels horrible and always makes my skin extremely dry.

Haha. Yes I am also talking about home refrigerators. I really didn't fit in them like squeeze into the entire freezer, I would sit in front of it and let the cool air blow on my face or sit behind it and relax, I know I kinda sounds weird but hey, I like it! The first time I liked it was when I was 4 in 1989. I was in the shack next to the pool at my home in the rural midwest i remember opening up a small refrigerator looking for something and after 5 seconds of feeling the cool breeze i was like "Heeeeeyyy man this is pretty nice!" and I feel in love ever since.

But I'm not talking about just refrigerators, I'm talking about if anyone has something simular to what I like, It could be like ovens sitting in mud, whatever. I was just trying to find out if there someone that liked what I like and do. Or maybe I'm the only person with autism out there in the world that does this. LOL...

Whoa! Is this really happening? I have finally found someone that has the same interest that I like. I've always wondered if I would ever find "that person". That day is today.

Yes! I like the indoor freezer cold because it's a cold that is tolerable and I can withstand, and Isn't "out of control". It's quite pleasant. Outdoor coldness gets to me and that can really be uncomfortable sometimes. My dad asked me once when I was 13 "If you really want to be cold why don't you go outside?" I really knew the answer but I wasn't developed enough to tell him why. Now you have told me the answer that I can relate to.

There was one time where I did tolerate outdoor coldness. I was in Japan for a Radio Control car world championship and it was in the fall and It was such a brisk cool that wasn't too cold and felt pleasant. It was almost like being in the freezer.

I used to sit in my locker when I was 18 because he was wide enough to fit me. I would sit in it and read a book or play my game.

Yeah, in the spring and the fall I enjoy the low levels of coldness. But in the middle of the winter here, it is far too cold.

What about with heat? 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit is pretty much as hot as I can tolerate.

I can tolerate heat. I like heat better than I like cold outside. I was competing in a radio control car race in Memphis of July 2004 in 100+F weather and I was outdoors most of the day. I was ok with it. However I was in another RC race that outdoors in December of 2008 in California, where I was outside in 40-35 F weather for 19 hours. It got to be pretty uncomfortable at some times.

70-75 degree weather is perfect for me. I feel like I am in paradise.
I like the breeze when I am outdoors.

Um, I think I would freak people out if I was found sitting in a frozen thing in a supermarket. In fact I'd probably get chucked out or sent to the nuthouse.

I'm not talking about the ones where they shop for milk cartons. There is a cooler room in Costco where people walk in there with there shopping carts and shop for fruit. I like to sit in a place where I don't get in people's way and enjoy the coolness and surf the net on my smartphone, that's all.

Nobody bothers me when I sit in the cooler room and they have polite comments when I sit in there sometimes.

Omg I absolutely love being in the walk-in refrigerator at work. I especially like that the walk-in fridge leads right to the walk-in freezer. It's especially awesome when I've been cooking on the line and it's really hot. (combination of relief plus the sensation of the fridge's atmosphere)

I also love swimming in all kinds of fresh water but not the ocean. The seawater feels sticky or something, I can't stand it. Also sand sucks. Especially when it's wet and you're trying to get it off of the space between your toes so you can put your shoes back on!

:D

No, but I used to think it was funny to put my stuffed animals in the refrigerator/freezer and wait for other people to find them.
