I have been interacting with my fridge mindlessly. I am a fool.

I've decided I've been opening my fridge completely wrong. Not at all as it was designed to be opened.

I've been resting my finger against the edge to push the door open with my thumb. In executing this movement countlessly for years, my nail has started to chip the finishing on the surface.

Having noticed this grave misusing of the appliance, I now exercise extreme diligence in my interactions with the fridge handle. The correction I've made is pulling from the handle, as is the correct interaction that this handle was designed for. And I promise to no longer use my thumb for the initial opening oomf.
