Kept wondering why my veggies were rotting in 3 days until I saw my roommate shoving them in the back behind the milk

Tbh I thought I was cursed or something. Every head of lettuce I bought turned into brown slime by Wednesday. Then last week I caught my roommate cramming a bag of spinach behind a gallon of milk right against the back wall of the fridge. I checked the temp back there with a little thermometer and it was 38 degrees in the front but 52 degrees in the back corner. So basically my greens were slow cooking. Now I keep everything in the front half and only drinks in the back. Has anyone else figured out their fridge has hot zones like this or am I just late to the party?

Veggies were slow cooking" lol that's exactly what's happening. It makes me wonder how many everyday problems we just blame on ourselves when it's really just some dumb physical setup we never bothered to question. Like how I always thought I was bad at opening jars until I realized my countertop is slightly slanted and everything just slides away from me.

Never thought about that but now I'm questioning everything about my kitchen layout.
