I feel lt's reversed the way things are. I'm right handed and open the right handle with my left hand which leaves my right hand free to get things in the fridge. The default handles are on the left as most people are right handed. I'm right handed and find that awkward.

You should go with whatever works best in your space. It should open up to your kitchen. doesn't matter if you are right or left handed.

Yes, the door should open toward the kitchen rather than away. it will be obvious one way or the other.

I really can't picture it, but don't worry about me!

If the handles on the left are meant to be more comfortable for right handed people, it must follow that the handles on the right are more for left handed people. Makes sense no? Me, I think it should be the opposite!

Lefties figure this stuff out before they even know they are figuring things out. Don't worry about the lefty.

(Remember how popular side-by-side fridges were? All right-hinged and mostly used by righties.)

Most refrigerators without ice and water in the door have reversable hinges. You might just want to check your current refrigerator for this instead of replacing it

I am trying to build a left handed-ness Ideabook. Sadly, the pics to add to them are few and far between.

I've mounted kitchen faucets with the handle on the left. If the handle is attached to the faucet you need to be sure the faucet spout has a full swivel or it won't work...

Not sure that goes in the left-handed book though since it was done to make things easier for righties. :P
