This is a real thing I do. It feels weird if the weight of the carton isn’t evenly balanced when I take it from the fridge.
not autistic but I picked up a very unbalanced egg carton once and realized we shouldn’t have unbalanced egg cartons. it’s just sensible.
I do this too for weight distribution, but I don’t make sure it’s symmetrical. I’m worried someone in my family will be surprised by the uneven weight of the carton when they pull it off the shelf and drop it.
now kick your egg balancing autism into high gear to start balancing electrons on atoms to discover new elements.
or balance the number of molecules to create a new type of crystal that cures cancer.
or…you get the picture.
They clearly don’t get any other picture. No one balances eggs… EVER
I balance eggs…
You try to take the egg carton out of the fridge and it’s unbalanced ONE TIME…
Eggs all over the floor! Especially if the carton is also not quite hooked shut, or slightly creased.
it’s just sensible. if you take from one end, you run the risk of unexpectedly grabbing the ‘light end’ and accidentally dropping the partial carton on the floor next time you take it out of the fridge.
So always put the heavy (short, not long) end facing the door, so you always grab the heavy end, and never have this problem.
I kind of have both, just learn to enjoy the beauty of symmetry.
OMG, I do this too!
I do this and I am not austic.
I might have picked it up from this guy.
I’m not autistic or OCD, and I do this too. It’s just common sense and mildly entertaining.
I do also balance the carton. Not always absolute symmetry but don’t want someone to drop them.
I only buy boxes of 2x2. I suppose the only way is to get all four out at the same time.
This is the way!
I’m positive there is a correlation between ocd and autism. This seems like it’s hinting at a more ocd thing. Still it’s not entirely irrational itself.
I usually create checkered patterns to keep a consistent weight balance and keep box strength strength against external force evenly spread.
When I eat grapes, I like to eat two at a time, and end with an even number. I throw away the last grape if it’s not an even number. Why? #JustAutieThings.
