Drop whatever you're doing, we have a situation in here! A stay-at-home mother has posted a picture of the 'impossible to open' cupboard and she needs your tips to open it without destroying these precious porcelain plates.
'A cupboard that can never be opened,' - read the caption. Of course, you can never throw words like 'never' online because soon after posting, the army of kind-hearted internauts came pouring in (16,000 reactions and 456 comments) to help this lady with getting her plates to safety.
What would you do in this situation? Post your answers below!
Update: The photo was actually taken after an earthquake in the Tottori Prefecture on October 21st, in a hotel owned by the Kishida family.

That looks like a sliding door. If so, just open it a bit at a time (hoping the front bowl slides on the inside surface of the glass) until you can get a skinny arm in there to hold the bowls in place as you more fully open the door. What could go wrong? ;-)

First, you must take the red pill, and then you must realize that there are no bowels.

Can the door be slid open or does it open like a regular door? If it's a slid door just slide it slightly open and reach in n move them if not break the glass prob cheaper in the long run.

Carefully slide the cabinet forward enough that you have space to can tilt it backwards towards the wall. Once the cabinet is angled, the plates will likely be sitting in a different position and you can safely open the cabinet.

Remove the hinges, slowly tilt the door towards yourself. The dishes that are unstable will slowly slide down to where you can reach and remove.

Don't open it and don't do anything. You probably don't use them anyway.

Well, there are a few spells you could use. One option is to cast float. Then you can open up the cabinet, grab the offending dishware, cast dispel on them and restack.
Another option is to cast stop or slowga. If you use slowga, you'll still need to be quick about grabing them before they hit the floor. Again, once you have grabbed them all, cast dispel, restack, and replace into the coupbard!

Cut a hole in the top of the cabinet big enough for your hand to fit, arrange bowls so they won't fall then have husband install in-cabinet lighting to cover up hole. Alternatively enlist your mother-in-laws assistance and when she breaks the dishes she will be obligated to treat you better - make sure you milk it good with a great deal of wailing and beating of your chest over the destruction of your family's precious heirloom dishes saved from the Titanic by your great grandmother Rose.

You have to break the window under the bowls. Then hold the bowls with one while slowly and carefully opening the door. An extra pair of hands would be handy.

Don't. You have plenty of plates in the cabinet to the left. Use those.
