Crazy replies,,,keep em comin
While on vacation one year, I had a pinhole develop in a copper pipe that sprayed this perfect arc of water across my darkroom directly onto an archival storage box with important developed film.......

Never had freezer problems but I have never kept enough film and paper around long enough to freeze. I did have a problem with rats in a dry darkroom many years ago. Ate through a 250 sheet box of 8x10 poly rc paper and got into the rc filters. Who woulda thunk rats liked that stuff. I had problems with a bulk loader once, some square affair that the side kept poping off ruining the entire bulk roll. It made the trip to the dumpster via a hard impact with a wall. The Noblex is really bad about the back popping open. The latch on the side can work loose. It is a wonder the camera has not taken a long trip off some cliff.
I had a close call recently when my wife stuffed a big rack of frozen pork ribs into my darkroom freezer right against my packs of 20x24 dye transfer matrix film, something irreplaceable. I emphasize close call because that particular type of film is high-relief and very sensitive to pressure. But it escaped damage - barely.
