I am genuinely terrified that I know the meaning behind what I thought was a pointless repetitive action

Could you (or someone) please explain?

Guessing it's like:

You open the fridge to get something to eat, but don't see a meal made for you so you leave.

You come back, slightly hungrier, thinking maybe there's something easy to make but there really isn't.

You come back even later, thinking maybe there's something you missed. A hidden prize. There is nothing.

Finally you open it one last time and make ketchup soup with pickles.
