# Scout opening the fridge — Meme Lab

Use for repeatedly checking a place despite already knowing that nothing new or useful will be there.

- What it expresses: Habit and faint hope drive another pointless inspection of an unchanged source.
- Example: You refresh an empty inbox five seconds after the last refresh and send this to acknowledge the compulsion.
- When not to use it: A notification confirms that a requested message has arrived; checking now has new information and is not futile repetition.
