The story basically describes how a man went from having work to ending up sitting on a couch just watching tv and eating. His wife on the other hand works and critices her husband and his decision concerning the couch.
I found it quite funny the image of a grown man sitting on a couch for a long time without having the need to get up and do something with his life.
"That goddamn sofa! As far as she was concerned, she didn't even want to sit on it again."
I also found this passage very funny. She is clearly blaming the sofa for her husband's actions when in reality it is her husband to blame.
In relation to the fridge event, I do not see the point in it. I did not find any relationship with the story. Which made me realize that this is not the only time where Carver does this. He uses short and choppy sentences. No sophistication whatsoever and much less any details.
