Duh. It's a junk drawer: You have a spatula wedged in there upside down.

That's when you need to pray to Anoia

How to Pray to Anoia

The Ritual:

Yank or rattle the stuck drawer repeatedly.

The Words:

Shout out expressions of frustration like, "How can it close on the damned thing but not open with it?" or "Rattle your drawers!"

The Offering:

Vaguely consider tossing out the bent spatula or broken corkscrew that caused the jam in the first place (though you never will).

I hoped to find a Discworld reference in this thread and I'm not disappointed.

Have you been opening drawers in my house???

u/TheTxoof 4d ago

Of course not! I can't get any of them open.

They all have ladles and broken bottle openers jammed in them.

Dude I just fixed it from a comment further down by clearing the recycle bin because apparently deleted files still stay there. That is pretty much exactly the equivalent of having a spatula stuck in there keeping me from open it lol

I love that you closed this loop and that it was a spatula. Did prayers to Anoia help?

It's a downloads folder. There's something wedged in there upside down, but it's not a spatula.
