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.

Use a rolling pin to flatten your arm. Once flat simply slide it up and push the plates back into their place.

Hans' solution: ignore the actual task, write so many comments on Bored Panda that at the end of the day you either have 1000 upvotes or 1000 downvotes...or both.

Disguise yourself as Jigsaw from the Saw movies, kidnap some people, ask them to figure out how to solve the puzzle or you will kill them.

My husband mentioned trying to use a yardstick or something of that nature, partially opening the door and pushing them back. He also suggested getting your significant other drunk then having them open it, that way you can bring it up later and they will buy you a new set out of guilt.

Buy an octopus and sign it up to circus. It will learn tricks there and will be able to catch all the plates.

Wait for the next eartquake to shake them back in position, or fill the cupboard with water, put it in the fridge and when it's frozen open the cupboard, put the ice block in your bed and let it melt, your china is saved and your will have wet dreams that night....

Put some thick blankets on the floor before opening the door; or ask someone to hold a blanket with them tightly to catch the falling plates.

Break the glass on the top panel and re-stack the plates before opening the door. That was easy.

Get a big garbage bag and slide it up in there. Then just blow it up until it pushes everything back onto the shelf.

Variation of a solution mentioned. Don't smash the glass pane next to the plates, get a glass cutter and cut the pane out while someone is pressing the other door tightly, so the bowls won't slip. Then reach in and remove the bowls.

Host a Greek Wedding, let the plates smash, then add their replacement cost to the wedding invoice.
